01About this home

I've stood proudly on College Avenue since 1897, watching generations come and go while remaining one of Aledo's most recognizable homes. From the moment you arrive, it's hard not to pause and admire the details that make me so special, the wraparound front porch, the intricate woodwork, the towering windows, and the rare enclosed sleeping porch that has become one of my most treasured features. Built in an era when craftsmanship mattered, I still proudly showcase the character and grandeur that simply can't be replicated. Step through my front door and you'll be welcomed by soaring ceilings, beautiful original details, and rooms designed for gathering. My spacious living room flows into an impressive dining room complete with a wet bar, creating the perfect setting for everything from holiday celebrations to quiet evenings at home. The updated kitchen blends modern convenience with timeless charm and opens to a deck overlooking a backyard that feels almost magical, complete with mature trees, a fountain, and a peaceful setting that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a thoughtfully designed layout. The primary suite offers a unique private wing featuring a walk-in closet, laundry area, full bath, and access to the enclosed sleeping porch; a charming retreat that captures the essence of a bygone era while providing a space unlike anything else you'll find today. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the second level. On the main floor, a den tucked toward the rear of the home offers flexibility as a family room, office, guest space, or potential main-floor bedroom, conveniently located near an additional full bath. Homes like me rarely come along. Rich in history, full of character, and prominently positioned on one of Aledo's most beloved streets, I offer the opportunity to become the next steward of a truly remarkable piece of local history.
