800 Avenue E St

A Truly Exquisite Victorian-Era, Queen Anne Home with a 3-Story Turret, a Wrap-Around Porch, & Beautiful Wood Features. The Howard House, was well-maintained for 73 years by the family that built it & owners that followed. The intricate wood panels over the entry areas & bay windows, doors, gorgeous staircase, and trim around windows & doors are in Wonderful Condition. These breath-taking features have not been painted over through the years, and there is very little wear & tear considering the home’s age. Features include 6 fireplaces, each with its own unique mantle & tile, leaded & stain-glass windows, beautiful wood floors, & two expansive front & side entries which intersect at the middle of the home, claw-foot bathtubs, master suites with sitting areas & private bathrooms, and large dining & entertaining areas. Amenities include walk-in showers, a bonus closet with many clothes-rods, a cedar closet, & a large utility room with many cabinets & adequate space for a washer, dryer, freezer & a second refrigerator. The kitchen was updated with a built-in double oven, dishwasher, microwave, a large farm sink, updated fixtures, an island, & marble countertops. The home has a tankless water heater. The roof was replaced in the recent past by a previous owner. Major Upgrades by the current owners include replacing plumbing lines with pex & copper, replacing in-use gas lines, eliminating all “hot” knob and tube wiring with Romex, and replacing all HVAC ducting below the home. Much of the wallpaper was removed, then walls were repaired & repainted. All of the carpet on the stairs & upstairs floors was removed. The owners also paid for a recent inspection & corrected many of the issues found. With a 2-car garage & three driveways there is much parking for cars, boats & RV's. Imagine sitting on the big covered front porch enjoying the serenity of a small town that's 20 minutes to anything you might need in Waco, Temple or Belton. This is a Remarkable Home at a Great Price!
