One of Wylie’s landmark gems, this 109-year-old home sits on the Historic Downtown strip at Ballard & Brown. Ideal for intimate, flexible boutique weddings & events for 30–100 daytime guests.

Beautifully restored 3,700 sq ft home near shops, restaurants, a winery, and the city park.

A spacious, private 5-bedroom, 2-story home with high ceilings, hardwood floors, shiplap & Roaring-20s character. A large private backyard hosts an on-site event building.

Near Lake Lavon, Plano, Allen, and DFW.

The space
Waltz into the Roaring ’20s as you step through the foyer’s sliding doors into beautifully curated spaces throughout the home.

Gather for food, conversation, or smooth jazz in the large piano & dining room, or unwind by the gas-log fireplace in the cozy, private library / TV lounge (Smart TV in HD with streaming services and cables available).

Downstairs, the private master suite features a queen bed, antique seating and dressers, plus a restored clawfoot tub and a glass-and-tile shower.

Upstairs, choose from four private bedrooms: the Green Room with a king, the Shabby Chic room with two queens, the Cabin Room with one queen, and the White Room with a double and a twin — all connected to a shared lounge with conversational seating, a coffee & tea bar, and 1.5 bathrooms.

The home comfortably sleeps 13 without additional beds. Two airbeds with pumps and four fold-out foam beds with sheets are also available on site.

Prepare anything from breakfast to late-night snacks in a dreamy brick and soapstone kitchen, featuring an eat-in bar, breakfast table, generous storage, and a 48" dual-fuel professional range with six burners and griddle — plus a commercial Bunn coffee maker with three pots and warmers.

Step outside to enjoy the large private backyard, or walk to Olde City Park and the historic downtown strip for coffee, dining, shopping, a boutique gym, art gallery, florist, winery, or the Wylie Opry.

We’re happy to discuss hosting your 30–100 guest wedding, birthday celebration, anniversary, bachelorette gathering, corporate retreat, or film shoot.

Over 600 weddings and milestone celebrations have been hosted at the Olde House.

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.

Wylie was rated #1 city in the nation for families by Forbes magazine a few years ago! Also, a top 20 city rated in Money magazine. True quaint, country atmosphere with lots to offer our visitors!

Just a couple of miles from the famous South Fork Ranch.

Close to Lake Lavon. Plenty of lounging and watersporting to do.

Lot's of fast food and restaurants off the nearby highway as well.

Highway & FM access keeps us within about 15 minutes to Plano, Allen, Garland, Richardson and Rowlett.
