218 Coleman

Description

Charming 2/1 in a quiets section of Government Hill. This well maintained home was built in 1900 and moved from Broadway & Newell to its current placement in the late 60s. This home is not priced like a flip house, because it isn't a flip house. The owners chose to maintain the home's integrity rather than make it look like a cookie-cutter new home. The original long leaf pine wood floors remain throughout. The cozy fireplace features a thick, rough-milled mantle made from a downed central Texas mesquite tree. The walls of the dining room have been stripped to display the shiplap that lay beneath for over a century. The bathroom has been fully remodeled with a deep soak tub and floor-to-ceiling Spanish subway tile. And the kitchen has been updated with Venetian plaster walls, shelving made with 19th century reclaimed bar wood from upstate New York and a Koehler cast iron corner sink. In addition, the sizeable attic could be finished to significantly increase the overall square footage. More work could be done to the property if a more "polished' look is what you desire. But the home is move-in ready. The home sits on a large, deep, almost 1/4 acre lot fully fenced lot. Shade is plentiful from the trees including a 45 year old oak. There is enough room to build a casita and still have room for two smaller yards if you decide to split the property. Schedule a showing today to see this unique character-filled home!
