Description

The historic Davis house, circa 1908 is a treasure trove of history. The house was in the Davis family for three generations while they founded and operated the Boerne Star. (A file about the house is maintained in the library, and several news articles have been written about her.) The Folk Victorian has original long-leaf pine hardwoods, 12-foot ceilings with original shiplap, 11-foot pocket doors, salt glass windows, extensive crown and plate rail molding, a claw foot tub and a crystal chandelier. It is 5 large bedrooms and 5 updated baths. The electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation and new roof were all installed in 2010 when it was moved to Hickman Street. Unique to this property is the opportunity for the new owners to infuse their personal touch. Several rooms, including the kitchen, are in mid-renovation, providing a rare chance to customize and complete these spaces to personal taste and needs. It has a wrap-around Southern porch with original colonial columns. The master suite is downstairs and connects to a large en suite his and her home office. Also downstairs is a spacious kitchen, large dining room and mud room. Upstairs are four bedrooms, 3 baths, a laundry room, a small second kitchen and an additional living room. The second floor was added in 2011 but is true to Victorian architecture with cedar shake fish scale shingles on the exterior, original doors on the interior and reclaimed tongue and groove and shiplap ceilings. The house sits on an acre right off Main Street in the Hill Country Mile. It is a 5-minute walk to the river and its trails, the restaurants, boutiques and breweries. Embrace the unique opportunity to blend your vision with the historical elegance of the Davis House, creating a personalized haven in the heart of Boerne. New Carpet in attic for upstairs will convey.
