Property Description

Steeped in local history, the iconic Gross House at 290 E King Avenue has stood as a generational landmark in downtown Kingsland since its construction in 1912 as the Gross Family Farm. This well-preserved residence features the craftsmanship of its era, including hand-carved crown molding and fireplaces added in the 1940s, along with a majestic live oak tree that has shaded the property for over a century. The home offers approximately 3,955 square feet of living space across a spacious and functional floor plan. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and period details remain throughout much of the house, while thoughtful updates have improved comfort and efficiency. Recent improvements include a new roof with radiant barrier, new HVAC systems, new exterior paint, updated subfloors and flooring in several rooms, and refreshed bathrooms. A master suite, additional bathroom, kitchen, and three-car garage were added in 2000, blending historic character with modern convenience. The property sits on a prominent corner lot with excellent visibility and curb appeal. A wide wrap-around porch, classic white picket wrought-iron fencing, and mature landscaping create a welcoming presence from the street. A detached three-car garage and additional outbuildings provide practical storage and workspace options. What makes this property especially compelling is its strong potential for adaptive reuse. Directly across the street at 239 E King Avenue, a similar single-family home was successfully converted into professional office space and is now home to Harrison & Fortier, P.C. The Gross House offers a comparable opportunity. Its generous room sizes, multiple fireplaces, existing layout, and high-visibility location make it well-suited for conversion into professional offices, a boutique medical or dental practice, or multi-tenant commercial space while retaining its historic charm. This is a rare chance to acquire a true piece of Kingsland history with both residential appeal and realistic commercial conversion potential in the heart of downtown.
