Agents be sure to read agent comments. Step back in time with the Willis Allen House, an extraordinary residence that holds the distinction of being the oldest home in Williamson County & proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This pre-Civil War treasure has been meticulously renovated, ensuring its historic charm & architectural integrity remain intact while seamlessly integrating modern comforts. The home showcases unparalleled craftsmanship with quality materials & a keen eye for detail.
