Texas’ housing market runs quite the range, but these three unique homes in or around Fort Worth made us stop and do a double-take at their interesting characteristics.

They say “go green” — and this house took it literally. The charming 1,664-sqft bungalow is perfectly situated in the Fairmount Historic District — within walking distance to Magnolia Avenue. Original details meet refinished hardwood floors, decorative lighting, and two cozy fireplaces.
You green with envy yet? Okay, we’ll stop with the green jokes.

Whether you’re a fan of the Tudor style, cathedral ceilings, or half-timbered gables, this 8,403-sqft mansion in Westover Hills is worth a look, even if just to dream. Designed by architect Victor M. Curtis in 1929, this striking home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Fort Worth Inc. gave it its own feature last year.
Backyard oasis, 8370 Old Springtown Rd., Springtown

Be the life of the party underneath your own tiki hut.

Out west in Springtown, this four-bed, two-bath residence transports you to a Polynesian-inspired paradise. The 2,985-sqft layout overlooks an expansive backyard and sparkling pool, but we think the most interesting part about it is the large tiki hut in the backyard. It’s the perfect spot to grill or shake up some Mai Tais.
