Owning a piece of history and enjoying modern amenities aren’t mutually exclusive. An example is on the market in North Texas.
The historic Boone Lipscomb House in Grapevine tells an interesting story of marrying its roots to up-to-date conveniences. The combo makes it a perfect home for those interested in the past yet living in the present.
Hallowed Ground in Historic Grapevine
Plus, it’s the site of the first Presbyterian church in Grapevine.
The property’s roots date back to the first Presbyterian church in the original township of Grapevine, which sold a parcel of land to the original homeowners in 1934 who built a house of approximately 2,000 square feet. The City of Grapevine designated the house historic, and the township itself is registered in the National Registry of Historic Places. A plaque boasting the estate’s importance is affixed on the front porch wall, greeting everyone entering the home.
Main Street Wineries Just Steps Away
The entire estate is just a few minutes walk to the shopping, restaurants, and wineries dotting Grapevine’s flourishing Main Street. Residents can stroll leisurely through the city’s many festivals with zero worries about finding parking.
“People who move to the historical part of Grapevine move for the lifestyle,” Coldwell Banker Realty listing agent Sue Wykes said. “Many are selling big homes and literally trading the square footage for the idea of walking to Main Street.”
What makes this property exceptional is the size of the lot, which measures 1.365 acres. The land comes with 100-year-old pecan trees, landscape lighting, and gated fencing, allowing access from two streets. There’s also a huge garage with room to park your RV.
Unique Property
“There is nothing like it in historical Grapevine,” said Wykes. “You cannot find this combination of land mass and the actual buildings with modern finish out. You will not find this type of property again in Grapevine.
“It’s a beautiful estate.”
Wykes has 322 E. College St. in historic Grapevine listed for $3.945 million.
