2 / 1, Single-Family Home in Texas City, TX
This pier and beam home was built in 1911 and almost has 100 year historical status. The exterior is brick veneer with vinyl siding and offers a covered front porch. The original front porch has been closed in and now accomodates a sunroom and a study. The back porch has been converted into a morning room off the kitchen. The roof was replaced in 2003, the H V A C was replaced in 2002 and double paned windows were installed throughout in 2004. The home is now quite energy efficient for a building of its years. A quaint white picket fence with an arbor over the swinging gate surrounds the front and side yards. A stained glass window in the attic, a wooden door with rolled glass inserts, landscaping, mature trees, and a stand alone double swing on a brick deck in the corner of the yard make for great curb apeal. The backyard has a patio with a lattice arbor above and around it. The combination family room and dining room are divided with 2 columns and have decorative wainscoting. Hardwoods, ceiling fans, an electric fireplace with built-in shelving on either side and an adjacent study are showcased here in this space.
