Property Description

Experience refined historic living in the Judge H.L. Davis House, a 1905 masterpiece that seamlessly blends architectural significance with timeless elegance. The Davis House is believed to be designed by the noted Dallas architect J.E. Flanders, who created numerous Texas courthouses and the Exposition buildings at the State Fair Grounds. A Transitional-style residence, it showcases Prairie-style influences, a Sullivanesque frieze, and Classical details highlighted by fluted Corinthian columns on the gracious wraparound porch. This landmark property radiates sophistication with original longleaf pine hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, and a dramatic staircase. Unique to the home is a magnificent 1905 Chicago pub barback, featuring stained glass and detailed cabinetry—a rare centerpiece that embodies history and craftsmanship. Light pours through original wavy glass windows, with a window seat inviting you to take in views of the sweeping porch and gardens. The residence offers three elegant living areas, a library, three bedrooms, and three baths. The chef’s kitchen features a six-burner gas range, marble countertops, and a statement island at its heart. Beyond the interior, the half-acre corner lot is a private retreat. Lush landscaping, sparkling saltwater pool and spa, potting shed or workshop, and intimate private gardens create a resort-like atmosphere. Outside the fence, thoughtfully curated public gardens with raised beds, fountains, and sculpture extend the sense of grandeur. Lovingly restored and meticulously maintained, recent updates exceeding $125,000 include a new roof, gutters, exterior paint, drainage system, tankless water heater, and pool-spa heater. Celebrated on the Holiday Tour of Homes, McKinney Garden Tour, and Historic Calendar, this property is recognized with National, State, Collin County, and City markers. Rarely does such a distinguished residence become available—an opportunity to own one of McKinney’s most treasured historic homes.
