Property Description
The main residence spans 3,431 square feet across two stories, with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a half bath downstairs. Original tongue-and-groove hardwood floors have been professionally refinished and run throughout the home. Three original brick fireplaces anchor the dining room, one of two living rooms, and the primary bedroom — two are fully functional wood-burning hearths that will earn their keep on a cool South Texas evening. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with a porcelain farmhouse sink, a restored 1940 O'Keefe & Merritt range, a new Kenmore double oven, custom cabinetry, and a center island — all set on handsome tile floors. Fresh paint and wallpaper throughout make this home move-in ready from day one.
A new roof — just 6 years old — and 3-phase electrical service set this property apart from anything else in the county. The home runs on a private well, meaning no municipal water bill and true ownership of your water source.
A working small farm is already in place: chickens, quail, ducks, and rabbits call this property home, alongside a productive kitchen garden. A studio sits beside the detached 2-car garage, offering guest quarters or short-term rental potential. A workshop and storage building round out the improvements.
The adjacent one-acre parcel — currently zoned commercial along U.S. Highway 77 — opens the door to a business, an event venue, a farm stand, or expanded agricultural use with a rezoning permit. Whether your vision is a self-sufficient homestead, a small working farm, a bed and breakfast, or simply a landmark South Texas property with room to grow, 119 E. Houston delivers.
