Property Description
Agents be sure to read agent comments. Step back in time with the Willis Allen House, an extraordinary residence that holds the distinction of being the oldest home in Williamson County & proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This pre-Civil War treasure has been meticulously renovated, ensuring its historic charm & architectural integrity remain intact while seamlessly integrating modern comforts. The home showcases unparalleled craftsmanship with quality materials & a keen eye for detail. Kitchen cabinetry, crafted from 100 year old Pine in England, was expertly installed by the cabinet maker. Tumble Marble kitchen flooring & granite countertops also adds timeless elegance. Observatory boasts authentic brick floors, while the Rec Room features Terra Cotta "roofing" as flooring. Outdoor living is just as captivating, with multiple patios designed for relaxation amidst beautifully landscaped grounds. Unique features include a functional Butler's "dumb" waiter connecting the basement to the main level, & an exquisitely designed bar in the rec room—perfect for entertaining. The straw ceiling, pool table, hidden Murphy bed & storage are thoughtful inclusions that blend charm with practicality in the Rec room. Here lies an exceptional opportunity to own a true piece of history, lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated to offer every modern amenity. This isn not just a home; it's a living testament to timeless elegance & heritage. (see more details in docs)
