Description:
Situated on 2 lots and just minutes from Texas A&M University, this home is one-of-a-kind and a unique find here in Aggieland. "Historically known as the “Caudill House”, 1206 Orr Street in College Station was designed by William Wayne “Bill” Caudill (1914-1983), a Texas A&M Professor of Architecture and Co-Founder of Caudill Rowlett Scott (CRS), which grew to become the largest architecture/engineering/construction corporation in the United States. The name lives on today as the CRS Center for Architectural Research, founded in 1990 at the Texas A&M University School of Architecture. Built for his family, Caudill’s second house is “an outstanding architectural accomplishment on The Knoll, and it was probably the best small-scale work produced by the firm in Bryan and College Station. The shallow-pitched gable roof is supported by a steel structure independent of its brick perimeter walls. Extensions into the landscape-- a carport with brick-paved patio, and a wooden wall leading to a small brick studio-guest house-- provide a counterpoint to the main volume of the house.” (Baker & Scardino, “Flying High”) The main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms while the west lot includes a guest cottage with full bathroom and kitchenette. Updated through the years, this home also offers the opportunity to continue with additional updates and renovations. A stunning architectural design for an gorgeous and functional addition - complete with renderings - is available upon request.
