About This Home
Step through the front door of this historic home and take in the spacious sunny foyer and living room. This home was built with space in mind – no hallways! The open layout allows for you to personalize how to use each room. The first floor has a completely updated kitchen with a large island, utilizing every square foot for storage. Walk back to a bedroom with a large closet and lots of charm. The laundry area is by the back door and the w/d are staying. The parlor with a fireplace was used as the main bedroom by the seller. This two story built in 1907 offers potential income. The second floor has two entries/exits and is separated from the first floor by an interior door. The second story has three bedrooms, a sitting area and a kitchenette with more cabinets and porcelain sink. The bathroom has a claw foot tub with a custom made vanity and two sinks. The bathroom can be heated independently for a warm bath time. The home has had major renovations to all main systems such as, electrical, leveling, plumbing and installations of light fixtures and fans. The .5+/- acre large yard is completely fenced and the front porch offers a porch swing and fans for morning coffee. There is a 3 car carport for parking. There are mature pecan trees, persimmon, roses, wisteria and more. The seller updated the home with new owners in mind. The roof will need to be replaced in 1-2 years and the seller has given credit for that in the price. A complete list of all updates, repairs and upgrades will be available. A letter of financial approval is required for showing.
