Neighborhood highlights

This home sits at the corner of Downtown Wylie, the original hub of the city built in the 1870s.
Now, the olde downtown is a quaint strip, still featuring original 100 yr old buildings where you can spend the day jumping from coffee to lunch to antiquing to furniture shopping to the gym to yogurt, then dinner.
