A rare offering within the beautiful National Registry of Historical Places Fort Clark gated community. This pristinely remodeled circa 1886 kitchen/mess hall residence is one of only eight remaining mess halls built to serve the US Cavalry enlisted men. Built w/locally quarried limestone which the owner has recently properly repointed, supported with timber lintels, & two chimneys (still visible) for cooking. A new roof was added approx two years ago and the sprawling house sports custom cabinetry, newly constructed interior walls, solid quartz countertops, completely updated bathrooms and plumbing, 3 large bedrooms with an amazing bedroom size primary luxury closet. The owner has put down floating flooring, but if the original oak floors are preferred they are undisturbed and in good condition, with the locking floors easily removable. The attic space is another potential living area with century old valued timber ceilings & rock walls. Would make a great studio or loft bedroom/guest space. There is a large storage/workroom connected to back of structure which used to house the massive wrought iron stove (now in the FCS historical museum).Outside, a sweeping concrete slabbed side patio/driveway with green area is perfect for warm weather sitting or entertaining. Fort clark living offers many nature filled activities along the famous 9th largest spring in Texas Las Moras Springs. Hiking, biking trails, 18 hole golf course, 24 hr fitness center, art studio, gun club, etc. and it's famous 3rd largest spring fed swimming pool, with its constant 68 degree temperature healing waters. You won't want to miss out on this one!
