Experience the timeless charm of this 1909 historic home in Temple’s first neighborhood. Built by Rigsby Barclay, this architecturally distinct residence features poured concrete construction, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and intricate hardwood floors with custom inlays. Five original gas fireplaces, hidden vintage fireplaces, and brass floor outlets preserve its rich history while offering modern functionality. Spanning over 3,000 sq. ft. across the main and upper floors, the home provides spacious living areas filled with natural light. Below, a sprawling 4,000 sq. ft. basement offers endless possibilities—perfect for a workshop, art studio, home gym, or a stair-free apartment conversion. Outside, the 0.809-acre lot is shaded by century-old oaks and a fruiting pecan tree, with a hidden garden, fire pit, and multiple outbuildings, including a converted carriage house garage. Recent updates include a roof (2024), three AC units (2021 & 2023), perimeter fencing, and electrical and plumbing improvements. Located less than a mile from downtown Temple’s vibrant arts scene and minutes from Baylor Scott & White, this property offers an incredible opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. Situated just one hour north of Austin, TX, this one-of-a-kind home provides the perfect balance of small-town charm with easy access to the amenities of a major city.
