Overview
Description
Dear reader, some houses merely have an address. This one has a story. Built in 1914 by Dr. T.J. Holton, 501 E Cobb later became home to the Hawkins family, longtime owners of the Groesbeck Journal, before beginning yet another chapter as the Hawkins House Bed & Breakfast. Today, more than a century after its story began, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,999 square feet filled with the kind of character one simply cannot manufacture. A working pocket door, servant’s staircase, horizontal shiplap walls, wavy glass windows and generous rooms speak quietly of another era, while thoughtful updates allow the house to continue evolving. Outside, mature trees shade .42 acres with a pool, gardens and fruit trees, while covered front and rear porches and an expansive upper balcony invite long conversations and unhurried evenings. A detached 2-car garage, storage and wired shed add practicality to all that romance. Just a stroll from downtown Groesbeck, this is not simply an opportunity to purchase a house. It is an invitation to become the next keeper of Hawkins House.
