Nestled in the heart of Fayetteville’s cherished historic district, 305 N Rusk St. is a timeless example of American Craftsman architecture. Built in approximately 1920 by the Koch Brothers for one of the Baca sisters, this home is a testament to an era when quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design reigned supreme. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, the home has been lovingly restored to its original glory while seamlessly integrating modern comforts. Original long-leaf pine floors, shiplap walls, and beautifully preserved colonnades between the living and dining rooms showcase the artistry of the past. The formal dining room is a showstopper, featuring custom-built wainscoting, a built-in china cabinet, and exquisite William Morris wallpaper. The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, Shaw farm sink, and a historic 1905 butcher block from Texas State University. Modern quartz countertops blend seamlessly with the home’s 1920s aesthetic. The upstairs level offers a versatile retreat, with a sleeping area, lounge, craft space, closets, and a full bath. Or, opt to turn this space into a large primary suite. Exterior updates include a fresh coat of paint within the last 18 months. Beyond the home’s stunning features, life in Fayetteville offers a rare sense of community. Enjoy morning coffee on the front porch while chatting with neighbors, sunset cocktails on the back deck, or live backyard concerts from a custom-built bandstand. Located just 9 miles from Round Top’s renowned antique festivals, this gem is the perfect retreat—whether as a full-time residence, second home, or investment in a town where history and hospitality go hand in hand. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of Texas history, where timeless architecture meets modern livability in one of the state’s most charming small towns.
