This 2-story home on a .54 Acre lot in town has features that will attract a multitude of different interests. Built in 1890 (the same year Celina’s City Hall/Firehouse was built) on a native rock-block foundation and with the massive oak wood timbers typical of that era, many room dimensions are 14 to 15 feet. Nineteenth century classic styling is still apparent in the large living and dining rooms. Rock Maple hardwood flooring graces much of the home. Would you believe TWO kitchens, one up, one down? The home was used as a duplex in the 1950’s; the current owners returned it to a single-family residence 28 years ago. (If you are an investor, conversion back to a duplex with a 2-bedroom and a 3-bedroom apartment would be relatively easy). The current owners made good use of the 2,536 square foot living area, caring for numerous foster children over the years. Suit yourself with ALL THOSE ROOMS: ‘His’ or ‘Her’ room? Office? Study? Media room? If you decide you only need one kitchen and living room, just imagine what all that room upstairs could be. Art gallery? Playroom? More bedrooms? Wander outside and find a large open front porch, and a party deck out back. ‘Location! Location! Location!’ Close by is GRAND LAKE: 2 blocks! NEW SCHOOLS and ATHLETIC FACILITIES (soon): 2 blocks! DOWNTOWN Celina ‘Destination City:’ 6 blocks! FAST FOOD: 1-3 blocks! But if this sounds like a commercial setting, you will be pleasantly surprised. Thanks to good planning and awesome landscaping over 28 years, you’ll wonder if you haven’t discovered a secret Arboretum and Botanical Garden. (See list of trees, plants, flowers, evergreens, ground cover, etc.). You’ll also find a picnic/campfire area, as well as your own little ‘wilderness trail,’ all this on only 1/2 acre. Seeing is believing! Schedule your exclusive showing of this charming old home and ‘nature space’ today.
