Property Description
Own a Piece of Temple's History – Stunning 1909 Landmark in the City's Original Neighborhood! This is your rare chance to step into a true Texas treasure. Designed by acclaimed architect Rigsby Barclay and built in 1909, this iconic home combines architectural significance with enduring quality. Constructed with poured concrete and featuring soaring 12-foot ceilings, the residence stands as a timeless example of craftsmanship and design. Rich in character, the interior is filled with original details—custom inlaid hardwood floors, vintage gas fireplaces, hidden hearths, and classic brass floor outlets—each element telling a story of a bygone era. With more than 3,000 sq. ft. across the main and upper levels, you'll enjoy expansive, light-filled spaces perfect for everyday comfort and entertaining. The lower level offers a unique bonus: a sprawling 4,000 sq. ft. basement providing incredible flexibility. Whether you dream of a gym, workshop, art studio, or a no-stairs apartment conversion, the possibilities are endless. Set on a lush 0.809-acre lot, the property is graced by mature oak trees, a fruiting pecan, and outdoor areas that invite relaxation—a hidden garden, fire pit, and multiple outbuildings, including a converted carriage house garage. Modern updates have been thoughtfully integrated to preserve the home's historic charm while enhancing its livability. Recent improvements include a new roof (2024), three AC units (2021 & 2023), upgraded electrical and plumbing, and perimeter fencing. Located less than a mile from downtown Temple's thriving arts and dining scene, and minutes from Baylor Scott & White, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare blend of heritage, space, and convenience—just an hour from Austin. Don't miss your opportunity to own this extraordinary piece of Temple's past, beautifully reimagined for today. Schedule your private tour to experience its timeless appeal in person.
