About this home

This Historical Craftsman-style house in the classic Four-square floor plan on an oversized city lot delivers timeless architecture, old-world charm, and an exceptionally rare 1.3-acre lot in the heart of Terrell. This is a property where history, character, and space come together, something seldom found so close to town. The home’s most endearing feature is the wrap-around porch, which captures your attention at first sight. The home’s classic proportions and period details reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. You’ve heard the saying “they don’t build them like that anymore”…warm, authentic, timeless…the definition of early 20th century homes. Here, you get that and more. Generous room sizes, tall ceilings (10 feet on the first floor, 9 feet on the second floor), and architectural elements that speak to enduring quality and thoughtful design, even the original pine floors with wood windows (many still have antique “wavy” glass panes). The Dining Room showcases a hidden butler’s pantry, which has been converted to a spacious cedar closet. The grand stair has a service access passage on the back, and a “Harry Potter” closet below. The six main rooms are heated and cooled by top-of-the-line Daiken mini-split systems, giving every room its own thermostat. The expansive lot provides a sense of privacy and possibility rarely available in a central location. Mature trees, open green space, and room to garden, gather, or expand create endless opportunities while still enjoying the convenience of being just moments from Terrell’s shops, dining, and community amenities. Whether you’re drawn to historic homes, dreaming of space to grow, or looking for a truly special property with lasting character, 508 N Virginia St offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Terrell’s history on one of its most desirable in-town parcels.
