Property Description

This warm and charming 1880 Victorian-era home proudly presents its past in historic Terrell, Texas. Unlike newer construction this home boasts a solid long-lasting structure. It features spacious rooms, tall ceilings, and original wood floors. Fine windows have welcomed light and birdsong over the years. An adjoining dining room and parlor have been extended into a comfortable sunroom. A downstairs bedroom could easily be transformed into a study or home office. An updated enlarged kitchen invites guests and offers quiet times around a cozy gas fireplace set amidst tall windows opening to a lush landscape and patio. Upstairs, under a graceful gabled roofline, is an intimate space for a library or study, two bedrooms, and a full bath with generous closets, all enfolded in the rich feel of original wood. Stepping outside the front door, stately architecture rises in the midst of an old pecan grove. Lyrical landscaping includes curved regions of Asian Jasmine and fern surrounding the house. A walkway joins the neighboring house, a unique nod to the past when two sisters in their separate homes wanted a way to visit, rain or shine. An oversized lot ushers in a deep backyard with trees and bushes bordering the property for privacy. A small historic house by the back screened-in porch now serves as a storage shed with potential for a renovated extra living space. There is easy access to US Hwy 80 and it's a stone's throw from an historic downtown district. This home has been loved and cared for by the current owners for nearly 50 years.
