208 Pershing, Getting a New Look on Life in The College Station Historic District!

208 Pershing BeforeIf you haven't driven through the College Station historical district lately, you are truly missing out. The neighborhood has seen an enormous revitalization over the last few years and those efforts have really increased in the last 12 months.

The current home is a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with about 1637 square feet plus a one car garage. The roof is shot, the foundation is not level, the wiring is worn out, the HVAC system is shot, the vinyl siding has seen better days, and the foundation is definitely showing it's age.

How Much Driveway Can You Have in College Station?

DrivewayMaybe I'm the last one to know, but the City of College Station is pretty strict now on where one can have a driveway, how wide it can be, and how many openings one can have out of it's property. I recently sold a property that has no street parking in front of it or on the side of it. The only parking you have is for two cars in the driveway and for two cars in the garage. My client asked me to check in to getting him ...
