Description

For sale or lease. Artful remake of spacious 1935 Craftsman-style cottage. Bright colors, along with cedar, metal, vintage elements, and rustic materials were all woven together to create a wonderfully refreshing escape from "normal". Unlike anything else in Taylor, Texas, 1217 Fairground is a modern, uniquely charming home on a tree-shaded corner just two blocks off Lake Drive. Outside, this doers theme park includes a red storage barn, a small greenhouse, a maker's workshop, air-conditioned she-shed, and above-ground gardens. Entertainment options include a redneck-decorated party barn fully equipped with built-in tables, a bar area, an antique wood-burning stove, a banquet-sized BBQ smoker (stocked with pecan wood!), plus a rocked fire pit area perfect for guitar playing and story-telling. Watch small-town life go by on the cedar-covered front deck, or enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee and the sound of a gurgling garden pond on the multi-level back patio. This remodeled beauty pays special attention to honoring its historic roots, from the antique phone nook (with USB charging plugs), and refinished original wood cabinets, to original solid wood doors and antique doorknobs. Reflecting Craftsman workmanship, it features brand new SOLID red oak flooring throughout, beautiful ebony-stained butcher block countertops in an expanded kitchen, and all new stainless appliances (including fridge). The house boasts 4 bedrooms, (or 3 plus an office/bedroom with outdoor deck access), 3 fully updated baths, an exquisitely re-imagined private owner's retreat, and a huge utility/sewing room/art studio. This home works very well for multi-generational living. Structurally solid, the permitted renovation includes new warrantied foundation piers, metal skirting, updated plumbing, electrical and lighting, new HVAC system, and an architectural shingle roof. Far enough from the world to experience the peace and serenity of small-town life, and only minutes away from the new Taylor Samsung plant, this Taylor jewel is the perfect place to live well, play well, and rest easy.

    "This little town is one great big community. It's a culture all in it's own. It even has it's own catch phrase; "Once a duck, always a duck." And boy howdy, do we have a lot of wild ducks (actual animals) around here! Taylor is very serious about treating the local nature with care and respect. It's also a place that's very passionate about its history!"
