Overview

This historic, 100-year-old estate home exudes grace. The masterful beauty of its Classical architecture is balanced with an unapologetically youthful appreciation for fashion and design. While intelligent and dignified, the home possesses a disarming playfulness and charm. This is made evident in the historically sensitive remodel, which marries the glamour of a 20s estate with a contemporary air. From the completely renovated and redesigned interior to the expansive grounds and newly built guest apartment, the beauty of the home simply abounds. Consider it the utterly enchanting, southern answer to Downton Abbey. Newly repainted and re-wallpapered, the home is a blank canvas for your vision. This property is zoned to be operated as a high-end bed and breakfast or luxury Airbnb and includes the option to purchase the smaller home next door, which was originally built as part of the estate and currently operates as a successful, Superhost-rated Airbnb. Everything you need to run an upscale short-term-rental is included in this beautiful sprawl. Owning this kind of bed-and-breakfast—featuring a home with this indescribable charisma and charm—is the stuff that Hallmark movies are made of. Interior highlights include couture colors, Schumacher wallpaper, and luxury finishes. A historic home like this simply cannot be replicated today, and the quality of its build and original character shines through in period details. A deep Southern porch feels timeless, and several outdoor living areas, including the completely rebuilt garden pavilion, inspire outdoor gatherings and alfresco dinners. What a beautiful place to entertain or simply enjoy the lush natural beauty, including a lawn full of mature trees (professionally lit for all seasons). This garden area appeals to bed and breakfasts guests, should the home serve that purpose. Or, as the home to a young family, it acts as the perfect lawn for children to run on: and idyllic, childhood dream place. The newly built guest apartment is a gem of a space, as opulent as any guest house you’ve seen. High-quality finishes, like glass tile, gemstone pulls, and tiled flooring, elevate this artistic space. This new build feels at home with the original estate, carrying forward its fashionable design and period glamour. The climate-controlled garage includes heating and air-conditioning, perfect for a workshop, art studio, or creative space. The total square footage listed above includes the main house (which includes a fully heated and air-conditioned basement) as well as the newly constructed guest house. This home is unlike any in Amarillo, blessed with a grace and presence all its own. Experience its indescribable charm and potential as a high-class business, or simply as an unforgettable place to call home.
