Step into a piece of Taylor history at the iconic Pecan Manor, a beautifully preserved turn-of-the-century estate originally built in the late 1800s and relocated to its present site around 1905. Rich in character and architectural detail, this stately 2-story home offers approximately 3,460 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms on a lush .70+ acre corner lot shaded by mature pecan trees planted when the home was first established. From the moment you arrive, the grand front porch with classical columns invites you to slow down and savour the charm of early Texas craftsmanship. Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, long-leaf pine hardwood floors, ornate woodwork, crystal chandeliers, transoms, and a butler’s pantry, blending timeless elegance with thoughtful updates for modern living. The grounds are equally impressive, featuring raised flower beds, towering pecan trees, an in-ground pool, a potting shed and a garage/workshop—creating an ideal setting for entertaining, hosting events, or enjoying peaceful outdoor living. Originally constructed by Daniel Murphy—an influential early Taylor settler who helped bring the railroad and major businesses to the community—this property carries a remarkable legacy and has long served as both a distinguished residence and a welcoming gathering place. Over the years, it has hosted community events, appeared on holiday home tours, and received preservation recognition from the Taylor Conservation and Heritage Society. Whether envisioned as a grand private residence, boutique bed-and-breakfast, event venue, or one-of-a-kind investment opportunity, Pecan Manor offers history, elegance, and versatility in the heart of Taylor.
