Own Fort Worth's Baldridge House, A Historical Landmark

FORT WORTH, TX — It's not everyday that you get a chance to buy a piece of history. But with this new listing, taken from Realtor.com, buyers with about $8 million in spare change can make it a reality.

The Baldridge House, built in 1910, was completely restored and modernized after falling into disrepair. Bloomberg reports the home's most recent owners, Paun Peters and his wife, sunk some $4.5 million into renovations on the home that was registered as a Texas landmark in 1978.

But despite modern touches and amenities, the estate remains true to its roots. Original features still present in the home include huge, limestone columns, carved wood paneling and the bank vault, which is now used as a media room.

Among other modern touches, the home includes an elevator, library, underground parking, a basement, a game room, various gardens, an outdoor kitchen (with a pizza oven and deep fryer) and a wine cellar.
