Property Description
Historic 1909 Landmark in Temple's First Neighborhood! Here's your rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. Designed by renowned architect Rigsby Barclay and constructed in 1909, this architecturally significant residence is located in Temple's original neighborhood and built to last with durable poured concrete and soaring 12-foot ceilings. Timeless character fills every corner—from intricate hardwood floors with custom inlays to original gas fireplaces, hidden vintage hearths, and classic brass floor outlets. The home spans over 3,000 sq. ft. across the main and upper levels, offering spacious, light-filled living areas perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike. Downstairs, a sprawling 4,000 sq. ft. basement provides exceptional versatility—ideal for a gym, art studio, workshop, or even a stair-free apartment conversion. Set on a generous 0.809-acre lot, the grounds are shaded by mature oak trees and a fruiting pecan, and include a hidden garden, fire pit, and multiple outbuildings, including a charming converted carriage house garage. Thoughtful updates enhance the home's livability without compromising its historic charm. Recent improvements include a new roof (2024), three AC units (installed in 2021 and 2023), updated electrical and plumbing systems, and perimeter fencing. Located just minutes from Baylor Scott & White and less than a mile from downtown Temple's vibrant arts and dining district—and only an hour from Austin—this extraordinary home blends heritage and modern comfort in a truly one-of-a-kind setting. Schedule your private showing today to experience this historic gem firsthand.
