404 S Rice , Hamilton, TX 76531(Hamilton County)

This nice home is conveniently located within walking distance from downtown shopping, churches, city park and school properties. The home was built in the early 1900’s with architecture of the time. It is a split-level with dark red brick veneer exterior and metal roof. According to the CAD, the living area is 2217 sq. ft. There are entrances from the outside on both levels. The upper level of the home has two bedrooms, 1 ½ baths, a living room, formal dining area, large kitchen and a sunroom/den. The lower level has one bedroom, a full bath a utility room and a large room that could be used as an office, a 4th bedroom or another family room. The original ceilings in the upper level were high, but when central heating and cooling was installed they were lowered to about 8 ½ ft. to accommodate the a/c ducts. Though carpet is throughout the house, the owner says the underlying floors are the original hardwood.

The beautiful lot is almost ¾ acre of land that slopes enough to create some really nice landscaping opportunities and great play areas for children. A wooden privacy fence encompasses much of the lot. There are several large trees that shade the yard during the summer months. Vehicle parking is accessed from a side street with a large concrete drive that flows directly under a covered carport that can accommodate 2-vehicles. It is constructed of cedar timbers and lumber and has two storage rooms. Behind the carport is a small greenhouse building that can be used to keep your plants during the winter months. About 100’ or so from the house is a really nice metal shop building. It is 20’x30’, of which 20’x20’ is completely enclosed and the rest is an open covered work area. The shop has a concrete slab floor. Beside the shop is a private water well that is used to supplement the outdoor watering. There is a lot of concrete parking, porch and landscaping on this property to be taken advantage of.

This is a very well built home with lower level concrete walls that are about 2 feet thick, so it is not only on a solid foundation, it is also a safe place to be during a storm. If you are looking for a great home for a family with children, grandchildren or just want a lot of room to live and entertain then this one needs to be considered.
