601 Hodges Street

An impeccable example of the grandeur of historical homes of the South is now for sale in historic Palestine Texas! This<br />exceptional residence was built in 1911 for A.B. Hodges, a retail merchant, with J. F. Brook as the architect. Subsequently it<br />was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Sullivan, who named the property "Elmwood", and in 1979 it became the cherished<br />home of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Boone and family. A generous wrap around porch, massive classical columns and a two<br />story pedimented portico grace the Greek Revival style home, with equally significant interior features. Upon entering you<br />will be amazed by the beauty of the grand entry hall with carved staircase, extensive solid wood crown molding, soaring<br />coffered ceilings, wood floors, elegant light fixtures, leaded glass transoms, and floor to ceiling windows. With 7 bedrooms<br />and 4.5 baths plus 3 living areas, a dining area that welcomes dining tables seating 12 +, a large kitchen & breakfast area, 4<br />wood burning fireplaces and so much more, this home has the craftsmanship and quality of materials that are no longer<br />available for new homes. This majestic estate is located on 3.22 wooded and landscaped acres in the hills and trees of East<br />Texas.
