About this home

Property Overview

Attention old house lovers, this one is for you. This home is rich in Ennis history as it was built by Hix McCanless, the man who built many of Ennis' important buildings, including Ennis City Hall, and many other structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places. McCanless was the leading designer and builder in Ennis during the first part of the 20th century, and also served as a Surveyor and City Engineer. Historical records note that 'this house exemplifies the synthesis of four square plan and bungalow details,' and its preservation is a high priority for the City of Ennis -- especially because many of its historical features are untouched. Those details include original woodwork throughout most of the downstairs area, most of the original windows and doors, hardware, and original coal-burning fireplaces, original built-in cupboards in the kitchen, and original water closet (the original toilets are being preserved in safekeeping). This home sits on a large, prominent lot in a great location within walking distance to downtown, parks, shopping, and dining. The home is priced to reflect necessary updates while preserving its historic integrity.
