722 Jackson, Columbus, Texas

Description

Step back in time without sacrificing modern comforts in this beautifully preserved dogtrot-style home, originally built in 1868 and thoughtfully updated in 2016. Timeless charm meets modern functionality with original hardwood floors, shiplap walls, the historic front door, and much of the cypress clapboard siding still intact.

The spacious owner’s retreat is conveniently located on the first floor, while guest rooms occupy the inviting second level, offering plenty of space for family or visitors. A canning cellar, added in 1919, has been waterproofed and now serves as excellent storage space. The 2016 addition of a garage includes a large storage room with a roll-up door, making backyard access a breeze. Outdoors, you’ll find a serene, landscaped backyard ideal for relaxing or entertaining—whether you’re enjoying the screened-in porch or soaking up the sun on the open deck, this property offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and charm.

Directions: From downtown, take HWY 90 (Walnut St) going west. Turn south on Live Oak St. Go about 3 blocks and take a right onto Jackson. The home will be on your right.
