About this home

Step into a home where decades of love, care, and cherished memories have been woven into every room. Lovingly maintained by its original owner for more than 60 years, this exceptional all-brick 1961 residence is a true mid-century treasure, offering over 2,700 square feet of living space on a beautifully landscaped 0.36-acre lot in one of Temple’s most established neighborhoods.

Rich with character, the home showcases authentic mid-century design at every turn, from the stunning original solid wood front door to the vintage fixtures, original tile, terrazzo flooring, warm wood paneling, incredible built-in cabinetry, and exposed interior brick in the front living room, primary bathroom, and half bath. Imported brick and tile from Mexico add another distinctive touch to this one-of-a-kind home.

Outside, natural wood support beams frame the carport and front entry, while mature oak trees provide shade across the expansive front yard. The meticulously maintained backyard offers a peaceful retreat with room to relax, entertain, or garden.

Inside, multiple spacious living areas have hosted countless holidays, family gatherings, and everyday moments for generations. Exterior storage rooms attached to the carport and a rare fallout/storm shelter (with both interior and exterior access) are thoughtful features that speak to the craftsmanship of the home’s era.

While the home’s remarkable character has been beautifully preserved, important updates provide added peace of mind, including a recently replaced HVAC system and water heater. Whether you choose to celebrate its authentic mid-century style or thoughtfully modernize it over time, this is more than just a house. It’s a lovingly preserved piece of Temple history, ready for its next chapter and countless new memories to be made.
