JEWEL IN THE HEART OF HISTORIC MCKINNEY! Just blocks from the vibrant downtown square, the Foote-Crouch House offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. Built in 1887 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this beautifully preserved Victorian residence blends architectural charm with fascinating provenance. Step inside and be transported by the rich patina of original longleaf pine floors, transom windows, a solid walnut staircase banister, and four decorative fireplaces featuring hand-carved mantles and artisan tile. The inviting eat-in kitchen boasts soapstone counters, a cozy island, and even a kitchen fireplace—the perfect spot for your morning coffee. Nestled beneath the shade of mature pecan trees on a corner lot just under one-third acre, the home’s setting offers tranquility just moments from McKinney’s beloved restaurants, shops, and community events. This home carries a remarkable legacy—originally built for Dr. Gerald Foote, a two-time member of the Texas Legislature and distant relative of George Washington, and later owned by the Crouch family for nearly a century. The property’s inclusion on the National Register in 1987 underscores its architectural and historical significance. This is more than a home—it’s a piece of McKinney’s story. Whether you're a historic home enthusiast, preservationist, or someone who values character you can’t replicate, the Foote-Crouch House is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Don’t miss your chance to own one of the oldest and most storied homes in McKinney’s cherished Historic District!
