About This Home

Step into history with this extraordinary home in the heart of downtown Whitesboro. Designed by renowned architect Donald Mayes, this timeless home showcases the craftsmanship and character that made his work so admired. Situated prominently on Main St, the residence blends historic charm with the convenience of being just steps from local shops, dining, and community events. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the individuality of this home through the architectural details. With age and design that stand the test of time, some highlights include custom French doors in the entry, a 880-square-foot vaulted great room, a galley kitchen set exactly as intended, private courtyards and sunrooms, and unparalleled storage throughout the home. The interior flow of the home is thoughtfully planned to suit any family’s needs, including split-bedroom arrangements for multi-generational living or a home office, combining functionality with uniqueness. Outside of the historic home, the current homeowner has added their own flair of intentional design by creating an outdoor oasis in the spacious backyard. The pool is fully surrounded by a sturdy deck, offering plenty of space for lounging and entertaining. The screened-in back porch is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee. The finished workshop with electric offers a separate escape for handymen or a hang-out spot. As if the home didn’t already feel complete, there is a smaller storage shed and a tornado shelter for additional storage and safety. Don’t just take our word for it; the architect has been featured in a book about his Grayson County contributions as well as multiple articles. Don’t miss your chance to own this historic gem that even journalists are writing about!
