As indicated on the Texas Historical (THC) plaque that celebrates the home, accomplished violinist and composer Silvestre Revueltas composed his Septet Batik at this very King William Historic Neighborhood residence. That same atmosphere of inspiration, which has resonated throughout time, continues to captivate all who enter the space. The elegant Corinthian columns provide an architectural distinction, while a unique and rare, rounded glass window pane captures your attention. The property features exceptional curb appeal, characterized by the owner's hand-tended flowers and plants, and a welcoming front porch that invites admiration, complete with a cheery yellow porch swing. The entryway and dining room are distinguished by their exquisite coffered wooden ceilings, which introduce yet another element of classic sophistication. The presence of a fireplace establishes a focal point in the parlor, which can also be considered an additional bedroom as it has a concealed closet, and the wood-paneled wall contributes warmth and invites comfort for intimate gatherings or cozy nights. A bright and inviting kitchen serves as the central heart of the home, equipped with modern appliances, ample counter space, a kitchen island, and charming details well-suited for both daily activities and hosting friends, neighbors, and family. The yard is low maintenance, complementing the urban lock-and-leave lifestyle the home affords. The overall aesthetic is enhanced by farmhouse-inspired elements, which are mainly found in the kitchen and include shiplap accents and vintage-style fixtures that foster a welcoming ambiance. The layout of the residence allows for flexible bedroom arrangements, accommodating various needs such as guest rooms, home offices, or creative spaces tailored to individual preferences. Rich hardwood floors extend throughout the home, mostly original, providing a perfect canvas for personalization. In the primary bathroom, a clawfoot tub offers an inviting option for relaxation. Additionally, practical storage solutions within the yard include aesthetically pleasing sheds for well-organized gardening equipment, ensuring an efficient workspace. Schedule your showing today to learn more, and perhaps you may be the next composer adding your own unique symphony to its storied past, as each room invites you to compose a new chapter in the melody of life.
