2818 NW 17th Street Fort Worth TX 76106 | MLS #21334336

A third of an acre inside the Fort Worth city limits is not something you stumble into twice. Most lots this size sit twenty minutes further out, past the point where the drive to work stops being convenient. This one sits in the Belmont Park neighborhood, close enough to feel the city and big enough to forget you are in it. That is the whole story here. Room to garden, room for a shop or a greenhouse, room for dogs that need to run, or just space between you and the neighbors. That kind of breathing room is disappearing lot by lot as Fort Worth builders shrink every new yard down to the driveway. Here it is already done, and it is yours to shape.
The house itself does not try to be more than it is, and that is exactly its strength. A covered front porch faces the street, built for coffee in the morning and quiet in the evening, the kind of feature newer builds in this price range simply do not have room for anymore. Inside, this 1945 build is one level, straightforward, and honest about its age. It is a starting point, not a finished product, which means the upside belongs entirely to whoever buys it. Add a wing. Add a bathroom. Every improvement lands straight in equity instead of someone else’s profit.
This is not a forever house. It is a foothold, and in the 76106 corridor near Lake Worth ISD, that is precisely the point. For a builder, an investor, or a first time buyer ready to put in the work, a third of an acre with city water and city sewer inside Fort Worth city limits does not come along often. Close to downtown Fort Worth, the Stockyards, and the Cultural District, with easy access to Loop 820. The lot is already doing the heavy lifting. What you build on it is entirely up to you. In today’s market, buyers are chasing land and location over square footage, and this listing gives you both without the wait list that comes with new construction in Tarrant County.
