1744 Martel, Fort Worth, 76103 -$179k

I love this house. I mean, I LOVE THIS HOUSE. It's another beautiful Mid-Century Ranch on the much-maligned East Side of Fort Worth at 1744 Martel on Scenery Hill. This 1951 ranch is 3,200 sf (!) with a kitchen to die for -- metal cabinets, a Frigidaire Flair range (Appliance Porn alert!), and a semi-circular breakfast bench. If I were in the market, I would buy this house. However, the extreme downside is that you are probably looking at three gas wells in your backyard in the very near future. Not good. Still, I hope this baby finds the right buyer.
