Built in 1886, this charming Colonial home, named “Pecan Hill” has the best of both worlds. Architectural integrity has been preserved throughout the home, while incorporating modern day amenities in updated bathrooms, closets and the kitchen. Sited on top of a hill, this iconic home sits on 16+ acres and overlooks Pecan trees, a pond and vistas beyond.

Enter the portico with triangular gable above, supported by four fluted columns topped with large Greek volutes. Eight elongated windows flank the front façade. A second story porch extends across the front of the home.

Immediately upon entering the foyer, the long hallway offers a glimpse of this historic beauty. On the left, a large 37-foot living room with soaring 12-foot ceilings provides enough space for several seating areas. On the right, a spacious guest bedroom has a separate bath with dual vanities, separate tub and shower.

Strolling down the long center hallway, a gracious formal dining room on the right is perfect for those memory making gatherings for family and friends. The kitchen is adjoined by a butler’s pantry with floor to ceiling custom cabinetry. Completely renovated three years ago, the kitchen is a chef’s delight with top of the line appliances and abundant cabinets for storage. Honed jet granite countertops with an interesting combination of mosaic and subway tile pattern backsplash add to the sophistication of this beautiful space. A stunning slab of granite covers the center island that easily accommodates a buffet for large dinner parties. Sit at the breakfast room table and enjoy the large light-filled room with walls of windows overlooking the pond and beautifully landscaped patio. Adjacent to the kitchen is a small office efficiently designed to accommodate files and computer equipment. An enclosed screened porch further enhances the home’s strong connection with the outdoors, providing a bug-free communion with the scenic surroundings.

Ascend to the second level via the long stairway located at the front of the home. Upstairs, the large Master suite has been beautifully renovated. The well-appointed Master bath has marble flooring, dual vanities, large shower, jetted tub, and marble countertops. The Master walk-in closet is extraordinarily large with two sets of built-in drawers.

A detached two-car oversized garage was constructed three years ago and is in keeping with the home’s architecture. A 6-stall barn and corral is adjacent to the garage. Located a short 40 minute drive from Dallas, this is the perfect opportunity to own a wonderful country retreat.
