This Old House depicts American Folk architecture circa 1850 in SE Smith County. Before railroads, houses were constructed of native materials. Step back in time to the days of massive hewn timbers with notched corners traditionally covered with thinner strips of wood, later replaced with siding. Most original details of this house are intact. The 126.417 acres of rolling cross-fenced pastures & scattered trees include 3 ponds providing water for livestock & a small lake. Picturesque old barn with tin roof stores hay & equipment. Newer barn & working pens are located nearby. Water supply is from spring-fed deep well. The 4 BR 2 BA 2 story home features massive rock fireplace & porch pillars, cozy eat-in kitchens & windows placed for cross ventilation. Multiple windows in the downstairs bedroom provide lots of sunlight for reading, crafting or sewing. A back porch utility room & separate hobby room offer space for varied activities. Upstairs are 2BRs & 1 BA. Guest house is included. According to appraisal done in 1984, the home was altered in 1930. Originally composed of two log homes connected by a “dog runâ€, a second level was added in 1930. The “dog run†was enclosed and presumably the bathrooms were added at that time also. This is an awesome opportunity to take a historic home to the next level. The structure is sound. The location is perfect. Come take a look!
