About 701 Fonville Drive
Luxury awaits inside this beautifully restored and remodeled French Country-style home. Custom architectural pieces imported from Europe by the original builder set the tone upon entry, where a grand foyer with original marble flooring opens to an expansive living space filled with abundant natural light from stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. This residence features 9-foot ceilings, plantation shutters, decorative plaster crown moldings, and a striking carved Italian marble fireplace. The home offers four spacious bedrooms, three full baths, and a spa-like primary suite, as well as an oversized laundry-utility room. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a functional peninsula, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, a convenient kitchenette provides added flexibility-ideal for guests, extended family, or private living space. The primary bath ensuite includes a garden soaking tub, a glass-enclosed rainfall shower with optional center jets and hand shower, and dual vanities with vessel bowl sinks and a Venetian mirror. Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring a private brick-enclosed courtyard with European iron gates and a covered patio. Additional highlights include a full sprinkler system, circular drive, and ample parking for an RV, boat, or guests, along with a dedicated workshop. Recent upgrades include a roof replacement in 2021, an upstairs heat pump replaced in 2020 and a new water heater installed at the end of 2025. Conveniently located in the quiet city of Marlin, just 25 minutes from Waco and 45 minutes from College Station. A rare opportunity you'll definitely want to see in person!
