1886 De-Constructed: 1 King, 2 Fulls, 1 Bath

1886 De-constructed: This unique 2-1 apartment is spread across the entire 2nd floor of a historic downtown Ballinger building. Recently remodeled from 1950's era offices into a beautiful living space boasting 14' ceilings, gorgeous original windows, and over 3k sqft of living space. The stone and shiplap walls have been uncovered and are on full display after being hidden for over 130 yrs. A variety of locally owned boutiques, antique stores, and restaurants are just steps away. The space We are excited to share this unique space with you. It is our home away from home and spend as much time here as possible. We have decided to invite others in so that we can generate some income to continue the restoration. This is a project of love and a work in progress. It is not a hotel or a typical bnb. The stone walls "shed", the shiplap is splintery, it's drafty, you can hear 18 wheelers through the 10' ft windows, it takes a while to heat/cool....etc. But we LOVE it and we hope others will too. Our guests can enjoy a stocked kitchen, dining room that seats 6, large living room with 55" Tv, Wifi, and much more. We do ask that if you are particular about anything specific (noise, dust, a/c, creaks in the night, etc) to please contact us before booking so that we can clearly answer any questions you may have about the property.
