A treasured Longview landmark can be yours! This fabulous 1946 home that most recently housed Classics Furniture & Interiors is offered for sale with 3.04 acres of land. The property is home to remarkable mature trees and a spectacular set of magnolia trees on each side of the driveway. During a 2019 storm, two large trees fell on the north end of the structure, which housed the bedrooms, baths, laundry & a large bonus room. It is also where the second water heater, HVAC system, gas meter, and breaker panel resided that controlled certain lights & outlets to the remaining structure. The owners have decided to sell the property and not rebuild. The piers remain for new construction of endless possibilities: a home, offices, boutique shopping, or a fabulous restaurant with patio dining. The fenced backyard and gazebo would be great for live bands where dogs & children could play! There is currently parking for 18 vehicles and plenty of room to add additional spaces. The property boasts new casement windows throughout and vinyl wood plank in the kitchen & breakfast area. The composition roof with raised seam copper over the porch area is approximately seven years old. The original wood floors are still intact and can look fabulous again with some work! The exterior offers a unique look with the clinker brick, cedar shake shingles, stucco, and new beams around the porte-cochere. The foundation is very solid in this well-built structure. A large picture window overlooks the massive concrete back patio. French doors and a Dutch door are unique additions to this beautiful building! At one point, a portion of the building was also home to a food & wine restaurant business. The kitchen area was remodeled to city code, and a 500-gallon grease trap was placed and remains in the backyard. The original house was 4168 square feet of which approximately 2268 square feet remain of the main building (per Gregg County Appraisal District). The second building/workshop is approximately 500 square feet. Utilizing water from the lake via a working pump is available for a sprinkler system that covers most of the property, although the sprinklers have not been used since 2019. There is 268' of frontage on Judson Rd with dual entrances. The wider of the two driveways will accommodate semi-trucks. The second building has water & electricity along with an in-wall A/C unit. It is under the same roof as the primary home & is connected by the porte-cochere. A nice work/storage room is connected, facing the west with the original workbench intact. An elaborate entry desk of walnut was built at the main entrance and would be ideal for a new commercial endeavor. The back acreage has a delightful gazebo with stone sidewalks and stone paths as you meander through the mature trees of the gorgeous grounds! The possibilities are endless with this beautiful gem!
