Property Description

Once upon a time, in historic Tyler Texas, a home was built in a most picturesque storybook setting. Known as Chapman’s Anchor, prepare to be transported to a peace filled place among mature oaks, magnolias, azaleas & dogwoods. Stone retaining walls & landscaped flower beds flank the long circle drive & tree shaded spring fed pond leading to the exceptional home on the hill. Built in 1967 with 2936 sq. ft., this was a perfect family home with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 living areas & formal dining room. A private pool and pool house, complete with living-dining-kitchen, 2 bedrooms & 2 baths, was built to complete the property and provide everything a family could enjoy. Entertaining was easy here - and children played with their friends on this private 2.89 acre tract in the very heart of Tyler. Years have passed and the home and pool house have fallen into disrepair but the grounds & views are still breathtaking. THIS is the perfect setting for the home of your dreams, conveniently located south of downtown & inside Loop 323, near shopping and medical facilities. And a real bonus is that the guest house could be updated to live in onsite while your home is being built! Or the home could be updated and restored to its original glory. A fountain could be added to the pond, providing relaxing sounds plus a filtration system to deter algae growth without harming the fish and wildlife. Duck families lived here for years while sellers were inhabiting the home and would return again. This is the perfect setting to make your dreams come true!
