Exquisite, Colonial Estate located on 6.75 acres in Texas!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm always amazed at some of the properties that I get to list. When I got the call to interview for listing the property at 3000 Houston St. in Kilgore, TX, I wasn't sure what I was going to see. I've lived in Kilgore my entire life, and I've never known there was a home located at the end of Houston Street. For reference, this is the location and the entrance to this property.

This property is very secluded, which I feel is one of it's most desirable characteristics.

Upon entering the gate, you drive up this concrete drive that leads to the front of the house. Not only is the drive beautiful *I can't wait to see what it looks like during the fall with all the leaves changing color* but the presentation of the home at the end of the driveway is phenomenal. Here's some photos...

You see what I'm talking about? I pulled up and thought this was such an elegant and timeless estate. Needless to say, they ended up choosing us to represent them in listing their property. I have spent a lot of time with the owner learning about the property and all of the wonderful details concerning the construction and design. The current owner also had the property built, so it is a one-owner home.

It sits on approximately 6.75 acres, and you can see how secluded it really is!

Here are the listing details for the home located at 3000 Houston St., Kilgore, TX:

👇Alright, let's get back to this spectacular home👇

When you walk up to the front door, this porch is so inviting and shaded. I could definitely see someone sitting on the front porch in the morning enjoying a cup of coffee and reading the Kilgore News Herald or Dallas Morning News.

But once you open the front door, prepare to be impressed.

The staircase, foyer and layout is pretty phenomenal...just take a look!

The rich wood trim and picture frame paneling add the perfect amount

of warmth to the interior of this home and pairs perfectly

with the light walls and natural lighting throughout the home.

Upon entry, you can either go 👈 left into the formal dining area

or 👉 right into the formal living area. Let's go right 👉👉👉

Upon exiting the formal living room, you enter the solarium...

😍check out that view😍

After relaxing in the solarium, walk into office that leads into the basement.

To be honest, I've never been in a basement in Texas. This is the only house I have ever listed that has a basement, isn't that wild?! Generally speaking, most homes in East Texas don't have basements. So you can image my excitement when I actually got to view one.

Basement - complete with huge storage closets!

Coming back up to the main floor of the home, you will next enter the den.

Both the den and solarium are complete with large windows that allow you to enjoy the beauty of the rolling grounds from the comfort of your home.

This estate features custom wood work and lavish fixtures completed with impeccable detail. The den also features a great wet bar too!

On the way to the kitchen, there is a possible second master suite. The second room outside of the bathroom could be turned into a large closet or dressing area. Check it out and let me know what you think 🔨🔧

Now, we're almost to the kitchen. Before entering the kitchen,

there's a powder room for guests and breakfast room.

The gourmet kitchen complete with double ovens, beautiful dark granite

and ample cabinet storage. With an abundance of windows throughout,

the natural lighting in this home is unparalleled.

Before we head outside, you NEED to see the upstairs. Running through the second story, here are the photos 👀👀👀

Off the kitchen, there is a large utility room leading into the garage.

Have I mentioned that you can also make money if you buy this home??

There is a guest quarters/garage apartment that you can rent out for income.

Guest quarters/apartment was renting for $400 previously,

but you could ask for more because it has been completely refreshed.

Let's go back outside...

The back yard and patio area offer beautiful, lush greenery and landscaping, making the space ideal for entertaining friends or relaxing with your favorite people.

The exterior of this property is just as breathtaking as the interior.
