Listing Description
Welcome to 411 S. Eleventh Street, a distinguished historic residence located in Garland’s coveted Travis College Hill Historic District. Built in 1913, this remarkable home has been thoughtfully restored and carefully maintained, offering a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Garland history while enjoying modern-day comfort.
Once home to former Mayor G. Lester Davis and his wife Mattie Cole Davis, the property holds a notable place in the city’s story and was among the first residences in Garland to feature indoor plumbing, a forward-thinking innovation of its era. Today, the home reflects a harmonious balance of architectural integrity and functional updates.
Spanning over 3,200 square feet, this 5-bedroom, 2.1-bath residence offers generous living spaces defined by tall ceilings, original millwork, rich wood details, and period-inspired fixtures. A fully updated kitchen, inviting living room, and spacious dining areas support both everyday living and meaningful gatherings. The bedrooms and baths provide comfort and privacy, with each space reflecting careful preservation and practical enhancement.
Outdoor living is equally inviting with a wide wraparound porch, screened balcony, and a tree-shaded yard that create peaceful moments throughout the day. Separate enclosed parking for up to three vehicles adds everyday convenience; a valuable feature rarely found in historic homes.
Awarded a Texas State Historic Marker in 2015, the Travis College Hill Historic District is cherished for its “Magic 11th Street” charm, strong community connection, and enduring character.
411 S. Eleventh Street is more than a residence - it is a thoughtfully stewarded home where history, comfort, and timeless elegance converge.
