Great for those who want and/or need the space and luxury now at very low price. A true value for serious buyers or investors. Do your research and see that Abilene is a great place to live/work with lots to do and just 2 hours to Dallas and 4 hours to Austin to name a few.
Can also be used as your corporate headquarters, work from home office, antique store, assisted living, Ministry Living, Retreat, Ranch, automobile museum, day spa, resort, agriculture, bed and breakfast, exclusive substance/eating disorder rehabilitation center and more. The weather is the best here in the entire state all year round.
Designed and built in 1983 for his wife by a hotel builder as their personal residence he spared no expense with electrical, plumbing and overall construction. Steel classical pillars and wrap-around porch surround the entire home. The home is all brick and steel with a top wooden facade. The wooden balustrades (top facade) are now made in long lasting polyurethane for much easier replacement and longer life than wood. Can be replaced or removed all together. Home has all steel framing, all brick and wood facade and railings. The framing for the home is red iron and steel with a steel roof. The only stick framing is in the bathrooms. There are no veneers in the home...the cabinets and library are red oak and the wet bars are mahogany, a true masterpiece.
There is a spectacular entry w/ 30 foot ceilings & huge chandeliers, 12 to 30 foot ceilings throughout the entire home, oversized family room w/ fireplace and walk in bar, real marble floors, Library, Huge Beautiful Ballroom with Italian Fireplace, approx 20’ x20’ Gourmet Kitchen with cabinets from floor to ceiling, Formal Dining Room and lots of crown molding. The best floor plan with easy access to the entire house. The Breakfast Room overlooks the Glass Atrium and Rounded Indoor Pool. There is an outdoor rectangular pool.
It needs some cosmetic work including exterior painting (natural wear), trim and outdoor pool needs to be redone. The Estate has been maintained over the years and nothing immediately is needed. Selling as-is as needs some TLC. It is ready you to move right in. Photos cannot show true beauty but gives and idea. This is RARE 1-STORY of this size. Get most for your money and plan ahead with no stairs to walk or lift. A reminder of the beautiful architecture you only dreamed.
Situated on 3 1/4 acres of level land the estate is completely gated, fenced and surrounded with beautiful columns. Landscaped with mature pine trees throughout the grounds for your privacy and is highlighted with a front gate circular drive entrance. The side entrance which is primarily used has water fountain courtyard and access to the 3 car garage and parking for large gatherings. Weather is the best here in Abilene (not anything like so much of Texas you hear about in the news)
