Original long-leaf pine floors, shiplap walls, and beautifully preserved colonnades between the living and dining rooms showcase the artistry of the past. The formal dining room is a showstopper, featuring custom-built wainscoting, a built-in china cabinet, and exquisite William Morris wallpaper. The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, Shaw farm sink, and a historic 1905 butcher block from Texas State University.

Or, opt to turn this space into a large primary suite. Exterior updates include a fresh coat of paint within the last 18 months.
