Description
Step into history with this architecturally distinct 1909 home in Temple’s first neighborhood. Designed by Rigsby Barclay, this remarkable residence showcases poured concrete construction, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and intricate hardwood floors with custom inlays. Original gas fireplaces, hidden vintage fireplaces, and brass floor outlets highlight its historic charm while ensuring modern functionality. Spanning over 3,000 sq. ft. across the main and upper floors, the home offers spacious, light-filled living areas. Below, a sprawling 4,000 sq. ft. basement presents endless possibilities—perfect for a workshop, art studio, home gym, or stair-free apartment conversion. Situated on a serene 0.809-acre lot, the property is shaded by century-old oaks and a fruiting pecan tree.

Recent upgrades such as a 2024 roof, three AC units (2021 & 2023), perimeter fencing, and electrical and plumbing updates enhance both comfort and efficiency. Located less than a mile from downtown Temple’s vibrant arts scene and minutes from Baylor Scott & White, this historic gem offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and big-city convenience—just one hour north of Austin.
