What does it mean to be a “classic”? There are few homes that hit that particular nail on its head like this beautiful Colonial Revival located right across from the 12th green of Rivercrest Country Club in Fort Worth.

This quintessential Rivercrest spread at 4717 Crestline Road exudes the rich aroma of refined, understated opulence. The architectural elements are as disciplined as the carefully clipped English ivy that covers its brick walls. Windows line up obeying the Vitruvian void-over-void rule and an arched pediment supported by Tuscan columns welcomes you to the front door.

Built in 1924, this proud survivor has a generous 3,889 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and three-and-one-half baths. The floor plan is pretty classic, too, with a central foyer flanked by the dining room to the right and the living room to the left.

Hardwood floors look as if they were installed yesterday. The walls and ceiling are painted pristine white. The living room and dining room ceilings are defined by open coffer beams. At the center of the living room is a wood-burning fireplace with an architectural frame. The dining room is brightened by verdant botanical paper.

The eat-in kitchen is completely up to date with a professional-grade gas range and range top, with a built-in microwave oven and built-in ice maker. Countertops are icy white Carrara marble.

The adjacent dry bar with built-in wine fridge is lacquered emerald green, a color picked up in the powder bath wallpaper. The ivy, which climbs the powder room walls and ceilings, echos the ivy covering the exterior.

Behind the living room is a room described as a flex space painted a crisp celery green. It features built-in, hide-the-television cabinets.

The gracious primary suite features a sitting area, an additional fireplace, a delicious spa bath, and separate his-and-hers closets.

The full four-piece bath has Carrara marble floors, a shower stall, and countertops. The bath is housed in an old-fashioned wood-paneled box.

At back is a guest house that could be a choice rental if such things happen in Rivercrest. It’s more likely something involving French like garçonierre or au pair housing. It comes complete and independent with its own bath and kitchenette.

The house is kind of a bargain in a way, essentially selling for lot value, in my view. Try building at this level of quality for the $463-per-square-foot asking price. No surprise, this quintessential Rivercrest classic went under contract within four days.

Robby Lebus of The John Zimmerman Group has priced 4717 Crestline Road at $1.799 million.
