JEWEL IN THE HEART OF HISTORIC MCKINNEY! Just blocks from the vibrant downtown square, the Foote-Crouch House offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Texas history. Built in 1887 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this beautifully preserved Victorian residence blends architectural charm with fascinating provenance.

Nestled beneath the shade of mature pecan trees on a corner lot just under one-third acre, the home’s setting offers tranquility just moments from McKinney’s beloved restaurants, shops, and community events.
