Property Description
Own a remarkable piece of Temple's history with this 1909 architect-designed home by Rigsby Barclay, located in one of the city's original neighborhoods. Built from poured concrete with soaring 12-foot ceilings, the home features original inlaid hardwood floors, vintage gas fireplaces, hidden hearths, and brass floor outlets — showcasing timeless craftsmanship.
With over 3,000 sq. ft. across the main and upper levels, the layout offers bright, open living spaces ideal for daily life and entertaining. A 4,000 sq. ft. basement adds endless potential — perfect for a gym, studio, workshop, or future apartment.
The lot includes mature oaks, a pecan tree, fire pit, hidden garden, and multiple outbuildings, including a converted carriage house garage. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2024), three AC units (2021 & 2023), updated plumbing and electrical, and perimeter fencing. Located less than a mile from downtown Temple and minutes from Baylor Scott & White, this historic home blends classic character with modern updates.
