A Harlingen landmark blending stately Colonial elegance with warm character. Built in 1955 but refreshed over the last 10 years, this timeless home is rich in architectural detail: columns, dentil molding, terrazzo tile, curved built-ins, a stately staircase and an Italian marble fireplace anchoring the formal living room. Thoughtfully updated, the home offers three generous living areas and a remodeled galley kitchen with a professional side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, gas range, and a walk-through butler's pantry leading to the formal dining room. The bathrooms have all been updated and in 2022, new windows (all except 2) were installed. The layout looks like this: Primary suite and an additional bedroom with ensuite bath located downstairs. Two additional large bedrooms with a hall bath plus a craft/office nook are upstairs. Unique period details and modern updates combine to make this residence both elegant and livable — a viewing will reveal its many special qualities.
