Old-world elegance and quiet luxury define this property, a classic French-style farmhouse situated on a 7.58-acre piece of Round Top, Texas. Just minutes away from the excitement of Round Top, this home nevertheless feels secluded and private. A secure gate and a winding drive past a lovely pond will bring you to a broad front porch that begs for rocking chairs and a cool drink on a summers evening.
The craftsmanship is evident in all aspects of this fine home: The floors are beautifully aged old pine, and some walls and ceilings are crafted with weathered planking and antique bead-board, including several rooms with exposed wood beams. Many of the windows are original to the house, built in the late 1800s.
There are artistic and unique elements throughout: Stunning lighting, stone facing on walls, and stained-glass windows.

A DCS six-burner range, two-drawer dishwasher, and top-load microwave are only a few of the features in the kitchen. The large, gray marble-topped island is ideal for entertaining and the sunroom/den adjacent to the kitchen makes a delightful space to sit and visit.
The primary bedroom is downstairs and has stone sinks, a huge shower, and a slipper tub. There are also downstairs guest quarters. The other three bedrooms are located upstairs, each with its own bathroom and a gorgeous view from every window. The upper landing is made for entertainment: A mini-kitchen, large TV, and space enough for everyone to enjoy.
Between the broad front porch, the gazebo, and the seating area around the fire pit there is no shortage of cozy outdoor spaces to spend time entertaining. Not to mention the side porch and fireplace with amazing views of the pond and fountain.
The cottage adds another guest experience for times of overflow.
This property is fully furnished in a graceful, neutral palette and a classic style that is appealing to all. This home is truly a Round Top gem: A property that youll find difficult to leave and even more difficult to forget.
