ASSUMABLE MORTGAGE AT 3.49% FOR QUALIFIED BUYERS! Assume the sellers' existing loan. Built in 1870, five years into Palestine's railroad boom. Its balloon-framed, pier-and-beam foundation breathes with Texas humidity. Original hardwood floors remain—heart pine from old-growth timber. Tight grain, wide boards, installed for durability. Character from 155 years of use. At 3, 739 sq ft, this center-hall Georgian home, adapted for East Texas, suggests a merchant or railroad executive built it, expecting prosperity. Classic hexagonal tile bathrooms from early 20th-century conversions. The kitchen is updated, integrating modern function while respecting its Victorian origins. Link Street is where railroad money built elaborate homes. Beyond its enduring structure, this home sits on a generous 0.71-acre lot with mature trees, and includes three wood burning fireplaces and ample storage, along with a double detached carriage house. Not restoration. Continuation.
