There is now a rare opportunity to capture these feelings in a new listing in the desirable subdivision of Limpia Crossing. The original house, built in 1898, will bring back memories of your grandmothers house the moment you walk into the home. Many of the interior walls have narrow lapboard siding, and much of the flooring is the original fur hardwood. During the restoration project, plumbing, electrical, and insulation (R-19 in all walls) was addressed, as well as, the installation of a central heat and air conditioning system. Additionally, the exterior is Hardie board siding, and the roof is metal. Lovingly restored, all aspects of this 2,340 sq. ft. home are in great condition, and it is move-in ready.

Let us start with the covered front porch, which the current owner refers to as the best room in the house. In the days long past, the front porch was used to greet neighbors, and to relax as the day ended. And this front porch offers fantastic view of the Davis Mountains, and shielding from the west Texas sun at sunset. It is a great place for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evenings.

From the front porch, you walk into the warm, inviting upgraded kitchen. Although upgraded with a built-in electric oven, gas range, dishwasher, an island with a full double sink, maple, solid wood cabinets, and Travertine counters, the appliances are discreetly placed to retain the feel of the original country kitchen. To the left of the kitchen, is a utility room with tons of storage space for the washer, dryer, small appliances, staples, and discreetly hides the modern day refrigerator, yet provides easy access to all of these items.

To the right of the kitchen, is the parlor, complete with a working pot-belly-wood-burning stove. It has high, tin ceilings and offers a variety of uses - formal living area, formal dining area, library, cozy study for the master bedroom, or any way you deem useful.

To the back of the kitchen is a well-sized living - dining area. This specifically designed addition has cedar walls and corrugated metal ceilings to allow it to blend with the rest of the home. Once again, modern touches abound, such as recessed cam lighting, tile floors, French doors to the back yard, and the propane freestanding stove. Off of this great room, is a well-positioned powder room.

The master bedroom to the right of the parlor is a well-sized room with a boxed window, complete with extra storage and the possibility of using it as a window seat. The beautiful, original fur flooring definitely catches the eye, and adds warmth to the room. The master bedroom includes an in-suite master bath, with dual vanity sinks, a tiled shower, and recessed cam lighting. Again, with the upgraded version of the bath, the original flavor of the county home remains!

The next three rooms offer flexibility, flexibility, flexibility, like no other floor plan! The second, third, fourth bedrooms offer just that with a bathroom shared between them. That bath has a charming claw foot tub, accessorized with a shower, and the floor is tile. On the other hand, with these three rooms, there could be a second bedroom with its own sitting area and in-suite bath, and a bonus room to use as you see fit. The combinations are truly endless and are a must see to be explored and appreciated! With your imagination, the configuration of these rooms can be exactly what you are looking for and need.

The beautifully restored home sits on five acres that is an easily accessed lot within Limpia Crossing. Both the front and the back views from this acreage are exceptional and you will never get tired of them because the lighting and clouds continuously change. This subdivision is 8 miles from Fort Davis, and approximately 8 miles from McDonald Observatory. Information about additional acreage is available upon request.
