The home retains the cozy, storybook feel of the late 30s. Every corner radiates warmth, from the natural light pouring through original rope pully style windows to the thoughtful layout. Flexible spaces that can easily serve as a home office or creative studio. The location is nestled in the 75701 zip code, you're minutes away from Tyler's vibrant downtown, local boutiques, and the historic Azalea District.
