About this home

Welcome to an architectural conversation piece set on a sprawling almost half-acre corner lot in a serene, mature community. Its generous spaces have a wonderful history of hosting hospitality and steady service, adding a proud local legacy to a home bursting with character. It perfectly balances preserved original details with an incredibly unique, multi-level floor plan, surrounded by a canopy of trees galore. This central living space is a showcase of 1970s grand design: The main den is a stunning sunken room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and beautiful heavy exposed wood beams. A rustic, floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with a raised hearth serves as the focal point. The room features preserved original wood paneling, a major potential feature for modern 'warm minimalist' designs) and easy-care laminate wood flooring. The unique layout uses short staircases to connect spaces. The sunken den steps up to a versatile landing, which in turn leads to the dining flex area, brightened by French doors opening to the back yard. The flexible layout features a massive isolated master with en-suite for privacy, three other bedrooms plus a bonus room perfect for a home office or hobby room. Its generous spaces have a wonderful history of hosting hospitality and steady service, adding a proud local legacy to a home bursting with character. A prime location with quick, easy access to I-35, McLane stadium, Baylor and schools while maintaining a peaceful neighborhood feel. The expansive property is fully fenced all around, with the backyard thoughtfully sectioned off to provide separate, secure areas for pets, gardens, or recreation. The roof is only 2 years old, offering major peace of mind. The incredible footprint, unique split-level character, and massive lot size are impossible to replicate at this price. Bring your design vision and transform this solid classic into your dream estate!
