About this home

Own a piece of Texas history. The Old Calvert Hotel, also known as the Dirr Cottage, is a National Register landmark dating to the 1870s with 10 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms & 3 half, and over a century of proven hospitality use. Built by German immigrant Gottlieb Dirr and later expanded into a grand hotel by his widow Hanna in 1904, this striking two-story property sits on a prominent corner lot directly across from the historic Southern Pacific Railroad line, just two blocks from the original train depot. Original hardwood floors, pocket doors, crown molding, shiplap walls, high ceilings, and pillars salvaged from Calvert’s original Opera House welcome you inside. The expansive layout includes multiple living and dining areas, a large kitchen with commercial-sized sink, dual laundry rooms on each floor, and generous office space throughout. Located in the heart of the fourth-largest historic district in Texas, Calvert is a charming small town on Hwy 6 just 30 minutes from Bryan-College Station and roughly an hour from Waco. Walk to downtown antique shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and Virginia Field Park with its landmark 1895 pavilion. Previous commercial uses include B&B, hotel-restaurant, and salon — making this ideal for boutique lodging, an event venue, creative retreat, or simply an extraordinary private estate. National Register status may qualify the buyer for federal historic preservation tax credits on qualified rehabilitation costs. A rare opportunity to own a property with this much history, proven versatility, and untapped potential.

This estimate uses our seller financing program's rate. Taxes are estimated at 2.25% of the price because this listing has no full-year tax amount (common for new construction); actual taxes may differ and insurance is estimated. Your actual payment may be higher. Estimate only. Your final rate, payment, and terms are based on approval. This is not a commitment to lend.

A traditional mortgage isn't the only way to buy a home.

If you're self-employed, have a lower credit score, use an ITIN, or have been turned down for a mortgage, you may have another option.

Our financing program has different qualification guidelines for eligible buyers. Check your options before you rule out this home.

Available to qualified buyers from HFP, powered by Doorly, only on this site. The seller and listing agent are not affiliated with HFP and cannot offer this program directly. All financing is subject to underwriting, eligibility, program guidelines, and approval.

How our financing program works

  1. 1

    Get qualified

    Answer a few quick questions and see the down payment you'd need. It takes about a minute and doesn't pull your credit.

  2. 2

    Make it your home

    Once you're approved, our lending partner buys the home from the seller at closing. The seller is paid in full and never carries a loan.

  3. 3

    Own it

    It resells the home to you at the same closing, with financing, so the title is in your name.

This is different from traditional seller financing, where the seller lends you the money. See the full requirements
