Property Description

Located just one block north of the beautiful Blanco downtown square, this 1947 pier and beam home was lovingly renovated from June 2022 to January of 2023. Its location, history and renovated beauty make it a one-of-a-kind opportunity! This 1408 square foot home has a 5-year-old metal roof which was newly reframed with 4 x 8 framing and blown insultation, and the attic space has an HVAC deck with new HVAC system (in and out) and new duct work. All sheetrock walls and ceiling have been replaced as well as all plumbing and electrical and a new electrical box. The home has restored original hardwoods. The bathroom, main entry and the kitchen were fully gutted and rebuilt to include new plumbing and electrical, tile flooring and new appliances. The original front door and wrought iron railing hugging the original front porch are restored and original to the house and perfect for outdoor seating, a porch swing or rocking chairs. A custom tall wrought iron gate has been added for front porch privacy.

A Custom deck and custom fencing are installed in the back at the main entry to the house as well as a porch and handicap ramp. The home includes a new 10 x 10 main entry with pass through hall leading into the house or to the fully restored kitchen. Off of the kitchen is a 10 x 13 room with an original built-in and a new entry door. This room is full of light and could have many uses such as an art studio, office space, or storage. The full house has vintage picture rails (which look like crown molding) installed to easily hang art. The main rooms of the house include the original dining room with original build in china cabinet and large windows. A large living room with seven windows for plenty of light and a fireplace with side storage (original to the house and in great condition). The fireplace is currently closed off so nonfunctioning but very beautiful and a great place for a candle display or for conversion to a working fireplace.
