The house is three stories with the third story being a floored attic and you wont find a home with more storage space! It features 2 large parlors, formal dining room, butlers pantry, 2 large foyers, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, large landing area upstairs and laundry room. The home retains its original 12-foot ceilings downstairs with the original painted tin, 11-foot ceilings upstairs, long leaf heart-of-pine floors, original transoms, pocket doors, a courting porch and stunning stained-glass windows. The present owners have decorated with furniture, lighting, clocks, and accessories to maintain the character and charm of the late 1800s.
The lawns are beautifully manicured and adorned by a charming gazebo. The rose garden is on the South side of the home and the four-season Victorian gardens always have something blooming. The 5-car garage with attached carport is currently used as a wood shop. This outstanding estate is perfectly situated on a .7acre (per seller) corner lot and is in walking distance to Brenhams historic downtown district. An absolute MUST SEE!
No Federal funding has been received from any historical commission so there is no approval required to make any changes to the home; however, any major structural changes to the outside that affect the historical status could result in the loss of the historical plaque.
