124 E Walnut ST N La Grange, TX 78945

HUGE Live Oaks surround this mid-century modern home built of cypress/brick on pier and beam, circa 1962. This property was once the location of the La Grange Collegiate Institute which was established by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and later became the Ewing Female College. The college was dismantled, and the cypress materials were repurposed in the building of the home that exists today. On one and a half lots with dual access via Hwy 71 South (Jefferson) and East Walnut. This lovingly custom-built home with travertine-tiled entryway foyer is welcoming with wainscoting and an entry chandelier. A spacious formal living/dining room with a beautiful chandelier and huge picture glass window is separate from the very comfortable den living space. Both the den and the kitchen with dining space have multiple sliding-glass doors that lead to a large patio with loads of light to enjoy your family time activities. Built-in bookcases and lower cabinets and a small-seated bar area with wooden-louvered shutters in the den lead into the kitchen with a cooktop, surround eat-in bar and a large dining area adjacent providing for a multi-dining experience. The well-loved retro turquoise fixtures are uniquely distinctive and add charm galore. The hallway leading to the bedrooms is hickory-wood flooring and the bedrooms are carpeted (2015) with generous closet storage. The utility room, consisting of a large sewing cabinet with more cabinetry above, a half bath and large storage closet, leads to an attached to a 2-car garage. The washer and dryer connections are in the garage along with a workbench and lots of cabinets for needed storage. The backyard is completely fenced, with large custom-built gates, lending privacy and security.
