About This Home

Historic character meets modern opportunity, an exceptional Fort Worth property offering approximately over 8,000 square feet of living space on a generous site with breathtaking, views of the Downtown Fort Worth skyline. Originally associated with the historic Maddox Orphans Home, this distinctive two-story property combines architectural character with extensive improvements and remarkable versatility. This is said to have been the nun's residence of the orphanage that burnt down. Inside, the spacious layout features 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 2 half baths, multiple living and gathering areas, a large chef's kitchen with island and stone countertops, and flexible rooms suitable for offices, guests, or additional living space. Updated windows, a newer roof and substantial improvements enhance comfort and functionality. The property also offers gated parking and a detached garage with an upstairs untouched area, creating additional possibilities for guests, workspace, or supplemental accommodations. The expansive grounds provide a rare combination of space and proximity to the heart of Fort Worth. Perhaps the property's most compelling feature is its elevated setting overlooking Hillside Park and Downtown Fort Worth. Whether envisioned as a remarkable private residence, an office, or another permitted use, this unique property offers an uncommon opportunity to own a substantial piece of Fort Worth history with an extraordinary skyline backdrop.
