Fort Worth Gem With Jackie O Provenance Hits Market in Sought-After Rivercrest‬ ‭

A rare piece of American elegance is now available in Fort Worth’s Rivercrest community. The newly listed home at 1720 Western Ave. not only exudes historic charm and refined craftsmanship—it also includes a one-of-a-kind design connection to one of the most stylish women in U.S. history: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

A Presidential Touch of Style

Thoughtfully restored and curated by its current owner, who also grew up in the home, this stately three-story features the front door and primary suite wardrobes from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s New York City apartment. Acquired through a noted antique dealer, these architectural elements bring an extraordinary sense of grace, heritage, and storytelling to a home already rich in character.

The front door is especially remarkable: custom-made for Jackie by the same artisan who helped restore the Statue of Liberty, it was originally designed to mimic the historic windows at Ellis Island. A Greek key border detail—elegantly framing the glass—pays homage to Aristotle Onassis and the couple’s storied legacy.

"To incorporate design pieces tied to Jackie O—a woman celebrated worldwide for her timeless elegance—is something you almost never see, especially in Fort Worth,” says Joseph Berkes with the Joseph Berkes Group at Williams Trew. “It gives the home a level of historical and stylistic depth that’s truly special.”

The Home: 1720 Western Avenue

Perched on a beautifully manicured corner lot just steps from River Crest Country Club, 1720 Western Ave. is a celebration of traditional design and thoughtful renovation. Framed by a white picket fence and a gracious front porch, the home welcomes visitors with warmth and Southern charm. Inside, rich hardwoods, crown molding, marble fireplaces, and antique-inspired lighting create a luxurious yet livable atmosphere. The formal dining room dazzles with ornate chandeliers and tailored trim, while the updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and a cozy built-in banquette.

Each bedroom has its own distinctive flair, and the bathrooms are dressed in designer wallpaper and curated fixtures. The primary suite is a true retreat, with paneled walls, bespoke drapery, and beautifully detailed cabinetry that reflects a decorator’s eye for timeless beauty. Throughout the home, layered textures and historical references create an elevated sense of place.

A Home With Heart and History

This property isn’t just stylish—it’s meaningful. Originally the childhood home of the current owner, it was lovingly brought back to life in a full-scale restoration aimed at saving it from demolition. The result is a home that merges personal legacy with design integrity, blending old and new in a way that’s rare and resonant.

“1720 Western Ave. is more than a listing—it’s a love letter to Fort Worth tradition and timeless design,” adds Berkes. “And with its Jackie O connection, it’s bound to inspire excitement both locally and beyond.”
