The incredible views of downtown Fort Worth, Texas and the luxury of a highrise condo tower make the condo at 500 Throckmorton St. worth a look. But what seals it for me is the location -- about 10 blocks from the Fort Worth Water Gardens.The urban park has been described as a "cooling oasis in the concrete jungle of downtown" with three pools of water, quiet meditation pool, aerating pool with multiple fountains, and a pool with water cascading 38 feet down terraces into a small pool. Along with more than 500 species of plants and trees throughout the park, it's a relaxing place to get out of the Texas heat.
The park is just south of the Fort Worth Convention Center, a 14-block area downtown that's buzzing with restaurants, entertainment and other activity. The entire area looks like a great place to walk, and the $850,000 condo is a great spot to get to it from.
The two bedroom, 2.5-bath home has 2,370 square feet, more than enough room to stretch out in. Built in 2005, the condo still looks new and is beautifully decorated. The unit (No. 2402) is on the 24th floor, giving plenty of height to see the Fort Worth skyline. It has an open floor plan with views from all rooms from the northeast to the southeast. The condo complex has a community pool, clubhouse, and guarded and gated entrance.
As with many luxury homes, this condo has everything you'd want. The nearby water gardens are a peaceful bonus.
