Property Description
Step into history with the Hermes House—a rare opportunity to own a true Texas treasure. Offered for the first time, this exceptional home, built in 1892, has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over a century. A striking example of folk Victorian architecture, it showcases craftsmanship and character that stand the test of time. Constructed with durable cypress clapboard siding, the home exudes charm and warmth. Every detail tells a story, from the elegant double gallery and intricate fretwork to the decorative vergeboard crowning the front gable. Bay windows and ornate, jigsawn porch details enhance its timeless appeal. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings create an atmosphere of grandeur and spaciousness. Thoughtful expansions over the years have seamlessly blended historic elegance with modern comforts. The second floor boasts a private apartment with its own side entrance, ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. Set on 5.282 acres—an entire city block—the property offers a wealth of opportunities. Historic outbuildings include a gazebo, buggy house, garage, smokehouse, barns, and a charming chicken coop. A modern metal barn with a concrete floor and four roll-up doors provides versatile space for storage, parking, or a workshop. This five-bedroom, four-bath home is situated on over five acres, just three blocks from the town square, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Whether you’re dreaming of a family estate, an event venue, or simply a private sanctuary, the possibilities are endless. The seller is open to dividing the property, with the house and approximately two acres available separately from the remaining three acres. Don’t miss this extraordinary chance to own a piece of Texas history!
