Charming 1943 Custom Home in Temple’s Historic Garden District!! Step into a piece of Temple's history with this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom custom home, originally built in 1943 by Marcia Scott and Franklin Curtis. Marcia was the niece of Dr. Arthur Scott, one of the founders of Scott & White Memorial Hospital—now Baylor Scott & White—adding rich historical significance to this remarkable property. Situated on a corner lot in the highly desirable Garden District, this home was constructed using only the finest materials of its time, including stunning red oak hardwood floors, recently refinished by Temple’s own Mr. Kelly. Vintage charm abounds with original doors, classic doorknobs, and iconic swinging doors that reflect the character of the era. The spacious living room features a newly added gas stub for the fireplace, and flows into a formal dining room that connects to the light-filled kitchen. The kitchen includes a breakfast area, gas range, walk-in pantry, built-in microwave, laminate countertops, side entry door to small covered patio, and perfect circle window for that added charm that lets in abundant natural light. Each of the three generously sized bedrooms has its own private bathroom. The primary suite includes built-in storage, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom. One guest bath has been thoughtfully updated with new plumbing, fixtures, and extensive built-in storage. Enjoy the privacy of a fenced backyard with a wooden deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
