This Fancy, Eye-catching Colonial Home on Julian Boulevard is For Sale

I'm a sucker for a lot of things. Historic homes and historic neighborhoods are two big ones, I'll say that up front.

That said, imagine my squeal of delight when I saw this absolutely outstanding, extensively remodeled, and absolutely perfect historic home listed on my usual real estate website haunts.

Behold, the beautiful brick Colonial home of 2205 Julian Boulevard, listed at $950,000. That's not bad, if you ask me.

Here's the listing, if you need a point of reference. Taylor Wellborn with Rilio Realty is the lucky agent to land this bona fide slice of Amarillo real estate. Why is this listing such a big deal? Let me give you a little background to work with.

Julian Boulevard Was Once....

An airfield runway.

No, really. It was one of the first ones in the area and you can find more information on it by googling for Bivins Flying Field.

If you've ever taken note of Julian Blvd's unique street directions, it should make perfect sense that this long double runway residential street was once the landing strip for Amarillo's very first (with immense historical significance) airport and flying field.
