Own a piece of Alvin history! Built in 1890 and documented as Alvin’s first rooming house, this 2,024 sq ft property sits on an oversized corner lot and is packed with character. Original hardwood and pine floors, 10' ceilings, a striking dark walnut staircase and the inviting porches showcase its historic charm. The downstairs was most recently renovated for business use with widened doors, creating a flexible layout where bedrooms can easily serve as private offices, workspaces or separate living areas. Thoughtful updates over the years include the kitchen and baths, windows, plumbing, electrical and roof improvements. Once home to beloved Alvin educator Golda Finger Hood, its history is even preserved in miniature at the Alvin Museum. Residence, workspace or a creative combination of bo th, this 135+ year-old Alvin original is ready for its next chapter!
