Staying at The Farmhouse Mckinney feels like a retreat for adults and an outdoor dream for kids! The circa 1915 Farmhouse is packed with character and sits on a beautiful treed acre of land! A perfect house for family gatherings: close to nearby restaurants & shopping with the feel of being in the country!
The home has a huge 1200 sq ft living space, which is perfect for a family gathering! Gather around the huge farmhouse table or by the wood burning fireplace. The living room is open to the fully stocked kitchen to keep everyone together.
Spending time outside at The Farmhouse is always a favorite of our guests. It is a space designed to create and foster community. There is a wrap around screened in porch that has another farmhouse table, lounge seating area, and a porch swing. Out back is a 1500 sq ft fenced in pea gravel patio with a 3rd farmhouse table to gather. As you can see, there is no shortage of places to share a meal! While on the patio, enjoy our string lighting and yard games we have available just for you…to help you create memories and moments of connection. (included corn hole, tether ball, horseshoes, giant Jenga, bocce ball and more!). Beyond the fenced in patio is an acre of land to enjoy. We have 2 playlets (for kids and toddlers), a tire swing, basketball goal, a ninja line, and a field to play games.
Back inside, downstairs also includes an original ship lap walled office, a floor to ceiling library, a separate dining room (if you are counting, this is the 4th dining table!), and a half bath. Up the original hardwood stairs you will find 4 bedrooms and a full bath. The room outside of the bedrooms has a TV and sitting area as another place to gather.
We are nestled between a county park across the street, a tree farm to the east and a pasture with historic 100 year old red barn to the west. We live in this house the majority of the year, so it will be well stocked with games, puzzles, toys, and almost anything you could need for the kids. The house would be perfect for a large family, a family reunion, a small celebration (we would need to approve this) or just a fun family getaway. We are away from neighborhoods, but only 15 minutes from charming downtown Mckinney with great restaurants and boutique shops. We are also near many wedding venues and would make a wonderful home to gather in before and/or after the event. We may allow a small event on site (for an additional fee), but the details would need to be approved in advance.
