Description

The Woldert-Spence Manor is an 1884 Queen Anne Victorian and a designated Tyler Historic Landmark, operating continuously as a bed and breakfast since 1993. The 3,716 SF Manor offers seven guest rooms, each with a private bath. A detached 1,388 SF carriage house building holds two rental apartments for additional income or owner occupancy. Total building size is 5,104 SF. Offered turnkey with furnishings, established booking channels, and more than three decades of operating history.The Woldert-Spence Manor was built in 1884 by William Woldert, whose family helped settle Smith County. A second story was added in the 1930s, and two garage apartments were built at the rear of the lot after the 1931 oil boom brought a housing shortage to Tyler. Restored in 1992 and operating as a bed and breakfast since 1993, it is the oldest continuously operating inn in the city. The offering totals 5,104 SF across two buildings on 0.557 acres in Tyler's Brick Street Historic District, two blocks from the downtown square and closer to it than any other lodging in the city. The 3,716 SF Manor holds seven guest rooms, each with a private bath. The detached carriage house holds two 694 SF apartments with separate addresses and metered utilities, producing $32,400 in annual rent. At $445,000, the nine-key offering prices at roughly $87 per SF and $49,400 per key. Guest room revenue has averaged $29,854 over the last five years. With $225,869 invested since 2016, including roof, deck, insulation, and full exterior repaint, a buyer inherits a stabilized building and meaningful room revenue upside, whether continuing the inn, repositioning as short-term rental or event space, or occupying one cottage while the other carries costs.
