| Jefferson Historic Home, the "Guarding Oak" is now available for purchase. This magnificent "Southern Mansion" is a two story Greek Revival design. It was built in 1859 and has very interesting history and some very important people who have occupied the home through the years. It was purchased and restored in 1941 by the Dan Lester family. The home has a Texas Historic Medallion and is entered in The National Register of Historic Places. In its day it was the envy of Jefferson. It has 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths within the home. This home has massive rooms - Formal Living area, Formal Dining area, Kitchen and Primary Bedrooms are all downstairs and each has its own fireplace with gas logs. Also downstairs is an extra large Family/Den complete with a half bath and Breakfast area. You will find the laundry room just off the kitchen with a large walk in closet/pantry and it too has a half bath. Continuing up the grand staircase to the second floor you find four bedrooms and a large bathroom. The beautiful chandeliers and lights throughout the home shows how grand it once was. This home could once again be the envy of Jefferson. The home is sitting on 1.37 Ac in the Alley Addition in the historic district. Out back you have a detached garage, a big room that could be storage, a workout room or office. Built on to the back of the garage is a "Summer House". This would be perfect to remodel for guests, or as a Mother-in-law suite. The grounds once held beautiful gardens and sitting areas. The grounds are surrounded by a brick and wrought iron fence and gates. This home is looking for owners who will restore it all back to the beauty it once was. The additional land through the wooden gate is perfect for building a shop and storing your mower, RV, boat, etc. | |
