307 Honey Grove St, Roxton, Texas, 75477

Set back beneath towering shade trees, this 1912 Prairie-style Foursquare makes a grand first impression. An ornamental iron arch and lamp posts frame the approach to a deep wraparound porch lined with square brick columns, made for slow afternoons. Inside, original character fills every room, from the 10-foot ceilings to the hardwood floors. To the left of the entry room, the living room and den each have a fireplace, with pocket doors between them. To the right, the dining room offers window seats, a dry bar and its own pocket doors. A door leads to the sunny kitchen, with a cooktop island, plenty of storage and a breakfast room. Off the kitchen, a two-story sunroom glows with light. The lower level has tile floors and a door to the backyard, and a staircase rises to the upper level, wrapped in windows with tree views and room to lounge. It opens onto the upstairs hall, which the main staircase, with a stair lift for easy access, also reaches. At its end, a window seat overlooks the front yard. Four bedrooms line the hall, one with a fireplace, and two share a Jack-and-Jill bath with a connecting dressing room. A utility room adds ample storage and washer-dryer connections. Outside, 2.94 acres in three parcels are bordered by Denton Creek: the home site, a barn tract, and a vacant lot with electric, water and sewer connections. Pecan trees shade the gazebo, and original cisterns and garden beds dot the yard. A two-car garage with greenhouse, a workshop, and a barn complete the grounds. With room for guests to wander, the property holds potential as a bed and breakfast; buyer to verify zoning. The home was built for banker Karl Hunter Bywaters, who hired Sherman architect John Tulloch. It has belonged to only three families and earned its own entry in Near Paradise: The History of Roxton, Texas. The original blueprints and historical documents stay with the house.
