Property Description
In the heart of Ennis, where historic homes line the streets & time slows just enough to be noticed, 400 W Denton stands as one of the city's most remarkable residences. Positioned on over 1 acre, this historic home listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the kind of property buyers search for, but rarely have the chance to own. From the street, towering trees & expansive grounds frame the home, while the wide front porch invites you to settle in. Inside, the home reveals its craftsmanship in layers. Gorgeous, detailed woodwork, hardwood floors throughout, & original architectural elements create a richness that can't be replicated. The rooms are generous in size & proportion, built for gathering, hosting, & living fully-echoing its history as a former bed and breakfast. The home offers large, open rooms & a flexible floor plan, designed in an era when homes were built for hosting. The spaces here are ideal for entertaining, multi-generational living, or creating a unique residence with income potential. The kitchen is a true centerpiece-designed for both function & presence. Equipped with double ovens, a Viking commercial-grade gas range, & two dishwashers, it's a space that easily supports entertaining on any scale. Whether hosting holidays or weekend dinners, this is a kitchen that rises to the occasion. The possibilities continue with a basement & unfinished third floor, providing space for expansion-whether that's guest quarters, studio space, useful storage, or a future business opportunity. Outdoors, the lifestyle continues with extensive patio areas, offering multiple places to gather, dine, & enjoy the setting. Combined with an oversized lot, the home creates a sense of space that feels both private & connected. Just minutes from downtown Ennis TX, you're close to unique local shopping, dining, & community events. Since Dallas is only about 30 minutes away, this property offers a rare combination of historic charm, space, & proximity to DFW.
