624 W Maple Ave Gladewater, TX 75647

**Discover a One-of-a-Kind Opportunity in the Heart of Gladewater!** Nestled on just over an acre of land, 624 Maple Ave offers a rare blend of history, character, and modern convenience. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a 2-car carport is full of surprises—starting with a functional basement, nearly unheard of in East Texas. Partially finished and partially raw earth, the basement provides both practical storage and intriguing possibilities. Accessible from inside the home and through the carport, it may have even played a colorful role in Prohibition-era storytelling—local lore suggests a distillery once operated below the house! The original home on this site burned down prior to the 1970's, making way for the current structure, built in 1975 on top of a former oil derrick platform. This property was constructed on steel beams that are still visible in the basement today. Solidly built and thoughtfully laid out, the home features two oversized bedrooms (one so spacious it could be split into two), a third smaller flex bedroom, and two full bathrooms with generous counter space and storage. The expansive kitchen is a true gathering space, offering a dedicated coffee bar with its own sink and counter space, a breakfast bar, large dining area, walk-in pantry, and an extra storage closet. The living room is equally roomy and versatile, with enough space to create a formal dining area if desired. A charming wood-burning stove anchors the space, adding both warmth and ambiance. Outside, the covered front porch invites lazy mornings or evening relaxation, while the yard is filled with potential for gardening, entertaining, or just soaking up the serenity. A wooded section to the east once housed a gazebo and offers privacy, shade, and space to explore. There’s even a greenhouse ready for your green thumb. The new HVAC system and 50-year roof with ridge vent offer peace of mind for decades to come. Located on a quiet corner lot, across from a green belt, with driveway access from both streets, this home is ideally located near to Gladewater High School, downtown shops and dining, and the peaceful exploring around Lake Gladewater. Gladewater is centrally located with convenient access to extensive health care services throughout East Texas from Tyler to Longview, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, antiquing, historical markers, beautiful lakes, parks, and more. With solid construction, an intriguing past, and room to make it your own, 624 Maple Ave is more than a home—it’s a piece of East Texas history waiting for its next chapter. And with an **assumable VA loan under 4%**, it’s not only a rare find… it’s a smart move. Schedule your private showing today and come experience the charm for yourself!
