This incredible showplace is the historic Moore House, a Texas architectural landmark built in the Prairie Style. Legendary for its stained glass, mahogany woodwork, high coffered ceilings, 4 decorative fireplaces, and show-stopping double staircase, the Moore House is an architectural and cultural icon of early 20th Century Texas. You will be proud to call this wonderful place yours as you browse through your private library (with 12-foot high shelves and a rolling ladder to accommodate you) or relax in the manicured back garden. On the second level there are 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 baths, another living area and a TV room. Outside there's a double lot with the restored old carriage house, with a remodeled loft upstairs apartment with kitchenette and full bath. History: The beautiful Moore House, built in 1917, was originally a wedding gift to Maude and Maroney Moore from her father, John Wesley Addis, Superintendent of Motive Power of the Texas & Pacific Railroad. No expense was spared in its construction, with lots of mahogany, granite, oak and stained glass. The house’s colorful history has included an owner who was a diamond smuggler and another who is an English Lord. Rusk Street boasts several beautiful historic homes - the Columns, the Parsonage, Moore House and others. In the Historic Downtown District, the Moore House is a short walk to the beautiful Courthouse, and many Marshall events during all seasons, including live music at Telegraph Park, OS2, and the newly-restored Paramount Theatre atrium. Within 2 blocks are Trinity Episcopal Church and First Baptist Church. Other churches are also walking distance. East Texas Baptist University is a 10-minute walk away. There is a full-height attic with storage, a basement, and two HVAC units with programmable thermostats. The carriage house holds two cars or one bay can be used as a shop. Above the carriage house is a studio apartment that can be a rental, or for a caretaker. The side-yard provides a play area for children, and patio with jasmine-covered trellis. The porte-cachere opens to the side entrance. There is ample room to turn your auto around, or park your cars in the carriage house garage.
