About this home

Welcome to the iconic Charles Hague Homestead, circa 1888, a landmark Victorian estate set on approximately 1.4 acres in the heart of Taylor, Texas. Shaded by more than 15 mature trees and offering 4,527 square feet of living space, this rare in-town property combines historic charm, architectural character, and exceptional versatility. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, multiple living spaces, and expansive grounds, this remarkable residence offers an opportunity seldom found within city limits.
Beyond the home’s impressive presence, the grounds are equally remarkable. A canopy of mature trees creates a private, park-like setting, while multiple outbuildings add character and functionality to the estate. Among them is a charming cottage-style she shed nestled among the trees, offering the perfect space for a home office, art studio, reading retreat, hobby room, or personal sanctuary. While rich in history and architectural significance, the property is not currently subject to local historic overlay restrictions, providing added flexibility for future improvements and personalization, subject to buyer verification.
Inside, soaring ceilings, original architectural details, three fireplaces, and generously proportioned rooms showcase the craftsmanship and elegance of a bygone era while offering the comfort and functionality desired for modern living. Filled with character and timeless appeal, the home’s spacious layout provides flexibility for entertaining, gathering, and everyday living.
Outdoor amenities include a sport court, RV hookup, expansive open spaces, and additional outbuildings offering opportunities for storage, workshops, hobbies, guest accommodations, or future creative uses. The property’s size and layout also lend themselves to multigenerational living and a variety of lifestyle needs, with future uses subject to local regulations and buyer verification.
