Benbrook sits just southwest of Fort Worth along Lake Benbrook — an established community with mature trees and neighborhoods full of homes built in the 1960s through 1990s. That older housing stock means a large supply of homes that were built before primary suites and open kitchens became standard — making them natural candidates for thoughtful additions.
