About this home

Step into the charm of early Texas craftsmanship in this beautifully preserved & thoughtfully updated historic home in the heart of Whitewright. Originally built around 1900 & extensively renovated, this property blends century old character with modern comfort on nearly half an acre. Much of the home’s original woodwork remains intact, including solid wood floors, handcrafted staircase, solid wood doors, vintage knobs & hardware, & an original stained-glass door that anchors the home’s timeless appeal. The original beveled glass front door & French doors add elegance & authenticity throughout. Two coal burning fireplaces have been converted to gas, offering both historic charm & everyday convenience. Major renovations within the last decade include foundation work, electrical & plumbing updates, an efficient mini split HVAC system, kitchen & bathroom remodels, & a new roof installed in 2026. The kitchen features wood shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, & an oversized chef style 6 burner gas stove. The primary bathroom offers a relaxing retreat with a large soaker tub. Outside, the property offers exceptional space & utility. Enjoy nine mature pecan trees, plus apple, pear, & fig trees. An oversized 18x33 above ground pool with a large entertainment deck creates the perfect outdoor gathering space. Additional features include a storm cellar, water well, & an elongated garage with shop area—situated where the original Model A garage once stood. A large walk-in attic provides abundant storage or potential for future expansion. Whitewright offers the best of small-town Texas living—quiet streets, friendly neighbors, local shops & dining, community events, & easy access to Sherman, McKinney, & the growing North Texas corridor. It’s a place where history is preserved, life moves at a comfortable pace, & homes like this one rarely come available. A truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Whitewright’s history—updated, restored, & ready for its next chapter.
