The Morning Star Estate - Historic Charm Meets Income Potential | Alpine, TX. Set on approximately 1.08 acres just blocks from downtown Alpine, this rare offering pairs a beautifully preserved 1913 home with a fully separate, renovated duplex-creating a turnkey opportunity for multigenerational living, extended family, or an established rental portfolio. The Morning Star | Main House - Built in 1913 and thoughtfully updated, the Morning Star offers approximately 2,050 square feet of Alpine history with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully renovated for modern living, including walk-in showers and a commercial double oven and griddle, while original character has been carefully preserved throughout. High ceilings, hardwood floors, mahogany trim, chandeliers, and vintage architectural details give the home a warm, distinctive feel that cannot be recreated. The Morning Star Stables | Duplex - A separate approximately 1,620-square-foot duplex sits on the property and includes two independent, fully furnished residences. Both units have been renovated and offer flexibility for extended family, long-term tenants, or short-term rental income.
