About this property
Historic Jefferson French Townhouse
Welcome to the beautiful Jefferson French Townhouse. Located in the downtown historic district, the townhouse was built in 1860 by one of the co-founders of Jefferson, Daniel Alley. The windows and front doors of the home are original and were imported from France during the New Orleans trade era; the home also features original cypress floors and 14 foot ceilings. The Townhouse is a Texas Historical Marker and in the National Registry of Historic Places.
The bright and airy home has an updated open living room and kitchen with modern updated bathrooms. There are two large bedrooms with king beds, and one with a large en suite master bath providing enough privacy for multiple families to stay in the home. The sitting room has a queen pull out sofa bed as well. All rentable space of the home is on the GROUND FLOOR. There is an upstairs to the home but it is closed off to guests and used for storage only.
Please feel free to send us any questions you have.

About the host
Your host
Jefferson is our hometown. We've since moved away to different parts of the country, but always find ourselves back in this beautiful part of Texas to visit family and celebrate the holidays. As our own families continued to expand, my brother and I, along with our wives, decided that it was time to find a vacation home in Jefferson. We fell in love with the Townhouse, the history behind it, and the beautiful historic features and architecture. So, in January of 2018, we purchased the Townhouse and spent the next several months restoring much of the home back to its original charm, while also adding some modern touches and comforts of the 21st century. We also made the decision to open up the home to travelers while we are away, and share this unique piece of Jefferson history with all of you.
