Kept the Charm. Fixed the Rest.

Built in 1910. Doesn't Feel Like It.

September 23, 2026•3 min read

If you're shopping for homes for sale in Round Rock, Texas and historic charm is on your list, 1104 Liberty Avenue is worth slowing down for. This home is a designated historic landmark under the City of Round Rock, built in 1910, sitting on a lot near downtown with old growth trees and a long front porch that sets the tone before you even walk in.

The house is 2,600 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and it manages something a lot of historic homes don't: real updates without losing the original character.

Outside

Stone pavers wrap the entire house, original front porch columns remain intact, and the yard is shaded by mature trees that have clearly been there since the home was built. It's a rare combination in this market: genuine age and history paired with landscaping and hardscaping that's been kept current.

Walking In

Original solid wood floors run through the main living areas. The front room centers around a fireplace with tile surround, flexible enough to work as a formal living or dining space, with a second sitting area on the other side of the same fireplace. A side door leads out to the back deck.

The updated kitchen brings the home current without erasing its age: quartz countertops, a double oven, a gas cooktop, and a farmhouse-style drop-in sink positioned under a window facing the backyard. The updates are thoughtful rather than generic, right down to the small details in the hardware.

One full bathroom on the main floor kept its original-era wallpaper and tile, a detail that adds real character rather than feeling dated.

Upstairs

The primary bedroom is large, with seven windows and its own fireplace, a detail original to homes built before central heating was standard. The primary bathroom keeps the original wood floors while adding a jetted tub, dual vanity, modern countertops, and a walk-in closet, a genuine blend of old and new that's hard to find done well.

Two secondary bedrooms upstairs are sized generously for a home this age, both with ceiling fans, original wood floors, and walk-in closets. A private upper balcony off one of the bedrooms adds outdoor space on the second floor, ideal for morning coffee or an evening wind-down.

The Backyard

A covered trellis sitting area, a dedicated garden space with a shed, and a large detached building roughly 15 by 15 feet with high ceilings, currently set up as a flex space that could work as a home office, a studio, a gym, or additional living space. The yard itself runs on the larger side, with fencing around the full perimeter and enough separation from downtown Round Rock to stay quiet, despite being close enough to walk to the new Round Rock library.

The Bottom Line

Built in 1910, a designated historic landmark, 2,600 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, original wood floors throughout, and a genuine backyard bonus building most homes at this price point simply don't have. Homes with this combination of history and updating don't come up often in Round Rock.
