Description

A timeless piece of McKinney history, beautifully preserved for its next chapter. With more than a century of McKinney history behind it, the Tucker-Bass House offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive Craftsman residence in McKinney’s historic district. Rich in architectural character, this remarkable home blends original craftsmanship with the warmth and charm of a bygone era. Situated on a picturesque 0.361-acre corner lot beneath mature trees, the home welcomes you with an expansive covered front porch and beautiful architectural details. Inside, restored original hardwood floors—white oak downstairs and pine upstairs—showcase the home’s rich heritage, complemented by original woodwork, exposed ceiling beams, and inviting living spaces. The thoughtfully arranged floor plan features four bedrooms, with two on each level, offering flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. The living room centers around a gas-log fireplace, while the kitchen features a distinctive wood ceiling, gas range, and adjoining butler’s pantry with glass-front cabinetry. The primary suite opens through double doors to a charming covered side porch, creating a peaceful retreat. Outside, the property’s generous grounds offer beautiful spaces to relax and entertain, including a tranquil water feature, outdoor patio, and established landscaping. A detached two-car garage and separate workshop equipped with water and electricity provide additional functionality rarely found in historic properties. Recognized with a City of McKinney Historic Preservation Award in 2014 and bearing a city historic marker, the Tucker-Bass House is more than a residence. It is a lasting connection to the people, craftsmanship, and history that helped shape McKinney. An extraordinary opportunity to become part of its next chapter.
