About 717 E. Houston Avenue
Welcome to the Chamberlain House — Recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1994, this 3,072 sq ft 1870 home is a classic American Foursquare Painted Lady. New roof (2022), PEX re-pipe, and a newer AC unit. 12-foot ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, original millwork, and beautiful stained glass throughout. The main floor flows from a large foyer into the living room, formal dining room with a primary bedroom and bath on the main level and a kitchen with generous storage. Upstairs holds four more bedrooms and a full bath. The current owners researched its original paint scheme and had the exterior palette approved by the historical society. But mornings here belong on the deep front porch. No neighbor on one side and none behind — just the grounds of two historic churches — so the home stays quiet and private. You're a three-block walk from the genuine town square lined with antique shops, cafés, and gift stores — the walkable, old-town Americana!

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
