1228 Hillcrest Dr Longview, TX 75601

On the market is this one-of-a-kind 1947 streamline modern home in the desirable Forest Hill neighborhood. This home boasts 3,892 square feet (3,514 square feet in the main house plus 350 square feet in the rooftop apartment), 3 oversized bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a water-cooled and gas-supplied whole-home generator, new double-pane vinyl storm windows, fresh hardwood flooring, and a private access security gate. Standout features include a 600-square-foot billiard room and a wet bar with a full bathroom, perfect for entertaining and hosting parties. (Yes, the 1970s vintage table comes with the house... unless you don't want it.) A master suite with over 800 square feet of cozy space, a wood-burning fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook 1.78 acres of private land, and a walk-in closet larger than most bedrooms, complete with a full mirrored vanity. Architectural enthusiasts will appreciate that most of the home's original fixtures are still in place: Geneva metal kitchen cabinets, an in-shower steamer/sauna in the master bedroom, a 1940s art deco shower door in the bar area, a wood-paneled wall in the master bedroom that opens to even more closet space, original cabinet fixtures in all rooms, mirrored walls everywhere you look, one-of-a-kind doors throughout the home, and so much more. Head up to the roof for the rooftop party room (or guest suite, or future rental income as an efficiency), complete with built-in shelves, a closet, and a full bath. With a 2-car garage that's over 600 square feet in size, there's plenty of room for any Texas-sized truck. Three sheds in the back (two wooden, one metal) are wired for electricity. Not included in the home's square footage is an approximately 200-square-foot laundry room with a sink and half bath plus an 83-square-foot hallway closet. The laundry room has new flooring. This property comprises two adjoining lots on Russell Street, presenting a fantastic investment opportunity. This unique home is excited to welcome a new owner who’s ready to bring their dreams to life! Don’t hesitate to call today for a private showing!
