About This Home
Step into a rare piece of McKinney history — the John Martin House, a fully restored 1880 Victorian farmhouse located in the heart of the historic district. Built by renowned architect John Martin, this 3,486 sq ft two-story treasure seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. With 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 beautifully updated bathrooms, and two inviting living areas, the home offers a flexible layout to suit a variety of lifestyles.
The downstairs primary suite is a true retreat, featuring dual closets, a spa-like ensuite with clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, and a cozy sitting area — ideal for unwinding or working from home. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, outfitted with a high-end built-in Viking refrigerator, professional-grade stainless ZLINE range, custom cabinetry, and seamless flow into the generous dining room — perfect for hosting memorable gatherings.
Restored original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and intricate architectural details add timeless elegance throughout. Step outside to enjoy coffee on the welcoming covered front porch or unwind on the peaceful back porch overlooking the serene, landscaped yard. A detached two-car garage adds both functionality and charm. Just blocks from the vibrant McKinney Square, you’re steps away from local dining, boutique shopping, and beloved Finch Park. This one-of-a-kind residence isn’t just a home — it’s a living piece of McKinney’s legacy. Don’t miss it!
