| MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING + GUEST APARTMENT + 4 CAR GARAGE just 20 miles south of downtown Dallas! The iconic Cottongame House in Ferris offers over 3,000 combined square feet between the main home and separate apartment — a rare opportunity for buyers seeking flexible living space, rental income potential, home office options, workshop space, or room for extended family at a price point that is increasingly hard to find this close to Dallas. Built in 1894, the 2215 square foot main home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and features original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, spacious living areas, abundant natural light, and a dramatic vaulted living room anchored by a cozy fireplace. The primary suite includes a sitting area, walk-in closet, and private bath. The almost 800 square foot separate guest apartment offers its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, bathroom, office space, private entrances, and dedicated HVAC system — ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or additional flexibility. The oversized 4-bay garage adds even more functionality with HVAC, bathroom, office space, attic lift, and room for hobbies, storage, business use, gym space, or workshop needs. Major recent improvements already completed include foundation re-leveling of the main home with transferable 5-year warranty, structural and exterior repairs, plumbing repairs, water barrier installation, interior sheetrock and flooring repairs, plus previous replacement of the roof and all 3 HVAC systems — allowing buyers to focus on cosmetic updates and personalization over time rather than major structural expenses. Situated on a large corner lot with mature pecan trees in the heart of Ferris, this unique property combines character, versatility, and exceptional usable square footage with convenient access to Dallas, I-45, shopping, dining, and area employers. Come explore the possibilities and make this one-of-a-kind property your own! | |
