Address to Impress - Home of the Week, 9517 Bella Terra Drive in Montserrat, Fort Worth, Texas

Bella Terra Drive is an exclusive and well-known street throughout Fort Worth due to its location - it is located in the luxury community of Montserrat, one of, if not the most, premiere subdivision for luxury real estate in all of Fort Worth.  Right off the western branch of 820 North, the exclusively gated and private addition boasts a family fun living environment perfect for a wealthy family.  In fact, Montserrat was started as a family ranch, but later developed into a luxury home/mansion gated subdivision for that family and others.  I have published an article on Montserrat, you can click here to read more about the community.

Anyway, this week's Address to Impress, Home of the Week is located at 9517 Bella Terra Drive.  With design and appearance similar to old world architecture, this masterpiece estate is surrounded by large homes of similar old, castle-like style.  An average fountain centered circle drive gives way to the front entrance and motor court.  The porte cochere leads to a 5 bay garage with space for 10 cars!  The back features an average sized grass area apart from the pool as well as an outdoor cabana, outdoor lounge area with fireplace and television, balcony, and overlooking loggia.  A walkway leading from the pool veers around to the side of the home and gives way to a stoned sitting area with a cabana covering, gardens, and fountain: perfect for outdoor relaxation!  The interior of the mansion reinstates the old world feel similar to the exterior with a touch of homely features.  A large stained glass ceiling mural is located directly above the front entrance providing an array of color and medieval characteristics.  The foyer is encompassed with arched walkways leading to the main living room and dining room with an iron staircase leading to the second floor.  The interior design is made up of stone moldings, wood finishes, and arched walkways.  In the main living room, Venetian walls surround a stone fireplace with wood floors.  The main dining room holds a significant old world feel with its ceiling moldings, color, and design.  The key features of this estate include 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 10,146 sq. feet, and an address to impress: 9517 Bella Terra Drive.
