About This Home
As of November 2025Temple Historical District – 1928 Charmer with Guest House & Income Potential Step back in time and fall in love with this beautifully maintained 1928 home, perfectly situated on a corner lot in Temple’s beloved Historical District. From the welcoming front porch—complete with classic rocking chairs and a vintage mail slot—to the swing beneath the shade of a mature tree, every detail radiates warmth and nostalgia. Inside, the main house offers three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, featuring gleaming original wood floors, timeless trim work, and updated tile in the baths. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed, blending modern convenience with the home’s vintage character. Each room tells a story of care and craftsmanship, creating an atmosphere that’s both cozy and refined. Outdoors, you’ll find multiple spaces to unwind or entertain: a designated fire-pit area for evenings under the Texas stars, and a private driveway with a secure electric iron gate for both convenience and charm. A standout feature is the detached guest house—a fully equipped studio with its own kitchenette, washer/dryer, and private entrance. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, it offers fantastic income potential or a welcoming space for visiting friends and family. This home is more than a residence—it’s a piece of Temple’s history, lovingly updated for modern living. Walk or bike to nearby restaurants, boutiques, and cultural spots that make the Historical District one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
