Historic 1909 Landmark in Temple’s First Neighborhood! Step into a remarkable piece of Texas history with this architecturally significant home, designed by Rigsby Barclay and situated in the heart of Temple’s first established neighborhood. Crafted with poured concrete construction and featuring soaring 12-foot ceilings, this residence is a showcase of timeless craftsmanship and character. Inside, intricate hardwood floors with custom inlays, original gas fireplaces, hidden vintage hearths, and brass floor outlets offer historic charm and modern function. With over 3,000 sq. ft. across the main and upper levels, the home provides generous living spaces filled with natural light. Below, a sprawling 4,000 sq. ft. basement presents endless potential- ideal for a workshop, art studio, home gym, or even a stair-free apartment conversion. Set on a 0.809-acre lot, the grounds feature century-old oak trees, a fruiting pecan, a hidden garden, a fire pit, and multiple outbuildings- including a converted carriage house garage. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2024), three AC units (2021 & 2023), updated plumbing and electrical systems, and perimeter fencing for added peace of mind. Located just minutes from Baylor Scott & White and less than a mile from downtown Temple’s vibrant arts scene, this home offers the opportunity to live just an hour north of Austin.
