From Drab to Fab: A Victorian Home Gets a Fresh Look in La Grange, Texas

One of the best things about selling real estate in La Grange is getting to see what happens to a property after the keys change hands.
Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of helping the new owners purchase this beautiful old Victorian home in La Grange. The house already had the character and architectural details that make these older homes so special, but the exterior was ready for a fresh look.
And the new owners certainly delivered.
With a new exterior color palette and plenty of attention to the home's original details, they transformed the house without taking away the character that made it special in the first place. From drab to fab might be the best way to describe it.

The fresh paint highlights the home's Victorian architecture and gives details that previously blended into the exterior a chance to stand out. The result feels brighter, more polished and completely refreshed while still looking like a home that belongs in historic La Grange.
It's always rewarding to help buyers find the right property, but it's especially fun to see what they do with it afterward.
La Grange is fortunate to have so many older homes with distinctive architecture and history. Sometimes it doesn't take a complete renovation to give one new life. The right colors, thoughtful updates and a little vision can make a remarkable difference.
Congratulations to our buyers on a beautiful transformation. We think they knocked this one out of the park.
