About This Home
Charming Historic Home with Modern Updates in Downtown Ferris. Step back in time while enjoying the comforts of modern living in this stunning 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, built in 1889 and once serving as the boarding house for the original Ferris train depot. Rich in character, this home features a variety of original details, including gorgeous pocket doors, wood floors in the entryway, clawfoot tubs, and the original doors from the depot that open to the back deck and wrap-around porch, offering a perfect spot for relaxation in the hot tub and entertaining. The home has been thoughtfully updated with brand-new LVP flooring throughout, as well as all-new plumbing & electrical wiring. One HVAC system was just replaced in June 2025, & the roof—both architectural shingle and metal—was fully replaced in 2024, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Double-hung, double-insulated windows throughout add to the home’s energy efficiency, while the water heater was replaced in 2021. This home sits on a generous corner lot of nearly one-third of an acre, located just a stone’s throw from downtown Ferris, offering both convenience & tranquility. Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with a new fence, a spacious outdoor shed with power, & a 3-car carport equipped with electricity. The custom pantry pull-out drawers in the kitchen make for an organized and functional cooking space, while the gas fireplace, complete with battery backup in case of power loss, adds a cozy touch to the living room. Primary suite features double closets & an ensuite bath with separate shower & dual sinks.
