This wonderfully maintained, circa 1860s home was the first brick building of any kind built in Wood County. The brick walls of the house are 14 thick and the foundation was placed 4 into the ground. The bricks were formed and burned a short distance away. The home is host to original hardwood floors, period lighting fixtures, floor to ceiling windows, four, wood burning, brick fireplaces (one in each bedroom and the living room), a sprawling 15x12' upstairs landing that could be used as an office and a modernized kitchen and bathrooms. The Carriage House has a 2 car garage, shop and mower garage down with an unfinished 31x25' upstairs just waiting for your ideas to finish out. The grounds include a large front yard with a circle drive and additional acreage, not located in the city limits, at back, with towering trees and a metal building. The home stayed in the Collins-Haines family until the 1940s and received a Texas Historical marker in 1965. This great home and property is located only a short distance to famous Lake Fork and all four of the Wood County lakes offering recreation and fishing. It is also conveniently located between DFW and Shreveport and Tyler and Longview. A complete ownership history is available. Call, Kendal or your representative today!
