They don't build homes like this anymore. Built in 1908 of fired clay brick & topped with a hand crafted, hand crimped, standing seam metal roof, this solidly built masonry home has withstood the test of time. Wonderful, original details of high pressed tin ceilings, transom topped doors, concrete baseboards, bead-board, built-ins & historic hardware have been maintained. Lovingly updated with custom Jeldwen windows, flooring, plumbing, electric, HVAC, fencing & more while honoring its history with well chosen details, custom cabinetry, fixtures & finishes. Situated on a hill and designed in an era before A/C, doors and windows open to the deep, wrap-around porch which takes advantage of verdant valley views, the morning sun & a prevailing southeast breeze, while offering shade from the hot, western afternoon sun. Inside, you'll enjoy relaxing in the claw-foot tub in the Master suite or by the cozy woodstove in the living room. All bedrooms are good sized, and all have access to the porch. Outbuildings include a unique rock & concrete barn, “battery house”, and more on 6.86 unrestricted acres. Minutes to historic downtown Comfort, the Guadalupe River, and easy access to I-10.
