The Greater Fort Worth Builders Association (GFWBA)

2020 Showcase Home has been a labor of love and generosity,

primarily built with products and services donated by members to

create a one-of-a-kind custom home that is waiting to welcome

new owners.

Located at 1305 Mt. Gilead Road in Keller, the urban farmhouse-in-

spired home was designed by M.J. Wright and Associates, Inc. and

built by Brian Avery of BR Avery Homes, LLC. Listed at $989,000

by Wynne Moore Group, the Showcase Home is GFWBA’s largest

fundraiser, with proceeds from its sale to fund GFWBA operations,

programs and events. GFWBA is a non-profit trade organization

comprised of members in Tarrant, Johnson, Hood, Wise, Parker,

Somervell and Palo Pinto Counties.

With family-friendly functionality, energy-efficient features and

notable extras – including a backup generator, freestanding safe

room and automated window shades – the two-story house offers

5,223 square feet under roof with four bedrooms and four bathrooms,

a three-car garage, and is situated on three-quarters of an acre.

Curb Appeal

The exterior of the house offers a timeless, vintage feel and features

a combination of barn-red brick and white limestone by ACME Brick,

along with black shingles and

metal roofing from Kidd Roof-

ing contribute to the country

farm-aesthetic. BMC provided

the materials to build the shell

of the home, including lumber,

siding, cornice and deck mate-

rials. The Pella Lifestyle Series

exterior doors and no-grid glass

windows add sleek lines to the

rustic exterior, updating the

facade with clean avenues for natural light to illuminate the interior –

while also offering exceptional energy efficiency and sound control.

Country Chic Interior

The farmhouse feel flows into the house from the warm natural floor-

ing contributed by Oakline Floors – solid stained white oak wood

throughout most of the downstairs, up to the neutral paint of the

walls – Hush Gray by Kelly-Moore Paints & Primers.

minimalist PRIMO Heat & Glo gas fireplace donated by

Nix Door & Hardware – with cool touch, seamless glass

– is the focal point of the family room, with an entry to

the private study on one side and an entry to the master

suite on the other side.

The expansive master bedroom with raised box ceiling

further leads to a luxurious bathroom – with cool shades

of grey from the concrete flooring and Calacata porcelain from ACME

Brick and Silestone quartz counters from Tile, Marble and Granite

Works – made warm with Champagne gold plumbing fixtures from

Expressions Home Gallery and a statement chandelier from

Lee Lighting.

The custom-designed closet by California Closets features

soft-close drawers and brushed aluminum doors above with satin

glass fronts. Various rods and racks, shoe shelves and more

add extra organization. Overhead, remote-controlled lighting

illuminates the space.

On the opposite end of the first floor is the gourmet kitchen.

At the center is a large island that features a NativeStone concrete

sink and Silestone Desert Silver top, with a large decorative light fix-

ture above. Shaker style cabinets by Sunrise Wood Designs painted

Pearly White surround the room and stand juxtaposed against the

Cento Grey Gloss tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances –

which include the GE Monogram luxury appliance package from

Texas Appliance and Builders Supply.

A guest bedroom and full guest bath lie to one side of the kitchen,

with stairs to the second story, a powder room and laundry room on

the opposite side. Upstairs offers an expansive open game room,

with two additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms.

Safe and Sound – And Efficient

When the power goes off, the property’s on-site Generac

22kW generator powers on. The generator is a backup

option for providing power automatically, and the

load management system insures that the generator is

never “overloaded.”

If dangerous weather occurs, the above ground steel

safe room offers protection. Provided by Lone Star Safe Rooms,

it is located in the garage and can accommodate eight individ-

uals within its 3/16-inch steel walls, ceiling and double-sided

A-36 steel door.

A combination of motorized Roman shades and roller shades,

installed throughout the house by Budget Blinds, allow the home-

owner to control movement from a smart device and integrate with

other home automation products.

Behind the scenes, energy efficient features range from the

two electric water heaters to the extra thick exterior walls, con-

tinuous foam sheathing exterior insulation, air sealing package,

attic insulation and Lennox XP20 Inverter Variable Speed Heat

Pump – known for its ability to adjust heating and cooling output

like a dimmer switch to perfectly accommodate comfort needs.

“We worked with Owens Corning and TX Plumbing & Air to

bury the HVAC ductwork in the attic underneath several inches

of insulation, greatly increasing the efficiency of the system, lead-

ing to lower utility bills and a more comfortable home,” stated

Brian Avery of BR Avery Homes, LLC.
