About This Home
As of September 2022SUPER RARE 1880’s historic home (The Aaron S. Howren House) on a massive 0.433 acre lot, just a few blocks from The Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas. Lots this size, close to the square, just don’t come on the market in Old Town Georgetown. This is truly a generational property with room to grow. Located across the street from a community park and the original Southwestern University with views of historic church spires and the top of the courthouse. The San Gabriel Hike and Bike trail and Southwestern University is just a walk or bike ride away. Framed by beautiful Elm trees and covered in Texas limestone, this home exudes curb appeal. Just 4 blocks from the old town square, you can walk to popular restaurants, coffee bistros, shops, and more. Filled with unique, original details, including transoms, custom millwork, two fireplaces, large windows, 11 1/2’ ceilings, hardwood floors, antique hardware, beadboard paneling, and an original built-in. Recent updates include a new roof, HVAC, tankless water heater, foundation work, renovated Kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, (tile floors, quartz countertops, appliances, apron sink, etc.), updated lighting fixtures, fresh paint throughout, limestone raised garden beds, and an updated garage. This home is truly a rare gem.
