This stunning property, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, boasts not one, but three Texas Historical Markers, making it a true gem for history enthusiasts and architecture aficionados alike. As you approach the house, you'll be captivated by its timeless elegance and the stories whispered by its walls. The main home, proudly bearing a Texas Historical Landmark designation, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Alongside it, the Old Birdwell House and the Monte Verdi Family Slaves markers add depth to the property's historical significance. Spanning an impressive 2,800 square feet, this home offers ample space for modern living while preserving its antebellum charm. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it strikes a perfect balance between historical authenticity and contemporary comfort.
