Description
Step into a rare piece of Texas history with this 1904 two-story farmhouse, lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 120 years. This historic residence showcases timeless details, including original long-leaf pine floors, paneled wainscoting, soaring 12-foot ceilings, leaded glass windows, and ornate Victorian mantels with mirrored overpieces. Three fireplaces with their original cast iron covers add warmth and character, while solid wood pocket doors and transoms above the doorways reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Even the clawfoot tub remains, inviting you to experience the authenticity of the early 1900s. Mature trees, original hitching posts, and over eight acres of land within the city limits create a setting as unique as the home itself. In addition to the historic farmhouse, the property includes a second home built in 1998. This all-brick, single-story residence offers over 1,500 square feet of comfortable living space with three bedrooms, two full baths, and wide doorways designed for accessibility. Fresh interior paint, a bright open layout, and walk-in showers add convenience for all generations. The living room flows into a light-filled sunroom and a screened-in porch that overlooks a shaded backyard and patio, perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings beneath the mature trees. An attached two-car garage adds everyday practicality. Together, these two homes offer a rare combination of preserved history and modern comfort. The farmhouse tells its story through original woodwork, glass, and iron, while the second home provides versatility for multigenerational living, guests, or investment potential. With its blend of historic charm, functional updates, and expansive acreage, this Thorndale property is more than a home, it’s a legacy ready for its next chapter.
