Description
Set on 5.5 acres in Central Texas, this fully renovated 1896 farmhouse offers a rare mix of character, space, and flexibility. The 2,700 square foot main home has been thoughtfully restored, preserving original hardwood floors, shiplap, brick, doors, and trim while incorporating high-end finishes that make it comfortable for everyday living. High ceilings, French doors, and a statement stone fireplace anchor the main living area, while the kitchen features leathered granite, a farmhouse sink, and a butler’s pantry. The primary suite is designed as its own retreat with separate closets, a custom tiled walk-in rain shower, clawfoot tub, and well-planned vanity and storage. A reimagined sleeping porch now serves as a private office with its own entry, ideal for working from home or meeting clients. The property extends well beyond the main home. A fully renovated guest house offers two bedrooms, a full kitchen, garage, and fenced yard, creating options for extended family, guests, or income potential. Outside, a private pool with tanning ledge, pool house with full bath, multiple covered patios, and landscaped gathering areas make it easy to enjoy the setting. A large barn with unique character, chicken coop, and open space add to the versatility. Located near Rockdale, Taylor, Temple, and within reach of Austin, this property offers privacy and room to spread out while still being accessible to major growth and employment centers. Recently repositioned and ready for its next owner.
