Updated 1924 Bungalow on Large West Morningside Lot
This single-story bungalow, built in 1924, sits on a level 6,250-square-foot lot in Fort Worth’s West Morningside neighborhood. The home provides 1,523 square feet of living area with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living spaces that include a formal dining area and an eat-in kitchen. An attached garage and driveway provide roughly two parking spaces; the backyard includes a storage shed and room for outdoor enhancements.
Recent improvements reduce near-term maintenance risk. Documentation notes a roof replacement within the last five years, several newer windows, and foundation work completed within the last seven years. The house is wood-frame construction with a composition shingle roof; heating is supplied by a gas stove system and cooling is recorded as "other." Overall condition is listed as good.
From a valuation and tax perspective, the assessed value for 2025 is $93,262 while a sales-comparison analysis estimates a market range of $160,000–$180,000 (midpoint $170,000). Local comparable sales within about half a mile show recent 3-bedroom transactions ranging from roughly $161,000 to $254,000, and nearby rental comps suggest monthly rents in the $1,550–$1,600 range; a rental estimate for this property is $1,500 per month.
The listing data indicates owner-occupied status and recommended due diligence items include confirming lot dimensions and boundaries, verifying the age and condition of major systems, reviewing school assignments, and completing a professional home inspection. For buyers considering an offer, focus areas include mechanical systems, the documented foundation work, and any permitted records for past repairs.
