Tucked along the fairways of Shady Oaks Golf Course, this extraordinary estate tells a story of exceptional craftsmanship, timeless elegance, and uncompromising attention to detail. Presented by LPI member Williams Trew (williamstrew), the residence was meticulously designed to balance grand-scale living with a sense of warmth and comfort, creating a home that is as impressive as it is inviting.

Set on approximately 0.85 acres, the property unfolds through a collection of beautifully appointed spaces designed for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. A striking arched entrance and tranquil koi pond create a memorable arrival experience, while expansive interiors showcase sweeping golf course views throughout. The chef’s kitchen is both functional and stunning, featuring Wolf appliances, an oversized island, a dedicated coffee bar, and a dramatic in-home aquarium that anchors the casual dining area.

Thoughtfully designed amenities elevate every aspect of the home, including a private office with panoramic views, a movie room, a golf simulator and putting green, and an entertainer’s bar complete with beer on tap. Rich finishes such as Gracie wallpaper, stained glass windows, and gas lanterns lend character and distinction to the interiors, while the primary suite offers a private retreat with separate his-and-her bathrooms, a sitting room, and its own secluded outdoor space.

A detached guest house, resort-inspired pool and spa, expansive courtyards, water features, and outdoor entertaining areas complete this remarkable offering. Defined by extraordinary quality, curated details, and commanding views, this is one of Fort Worth’s most notable luxury residences.
