Taken off market for renovations and fence installation. Freshly painted with a new privacy fence. Live in the woods, on nearly 2 acres, and be just minutes from downtown! The house sits far from the street in an oak grove. The back of the property is bordered by a wet-weather creek, creating a private greenbelt view. The well is protected in a well house, which is very helpful during freezes, and the house is partially powered by owned solar panels. The aerobic septic system is regularly maintained and the house is supplied with propane. Enjoy gas cooking and effortless fires inside the house, or a wood-burning fire in the outdoor fireplace or in the yard’s fire pit. The back patio has a television and a built-in gas line for a grill. You can’t see them now, but in the spring the yard is covered in bluebonnets and peach blossoms. The backyard is partially fenced with a cowboy pool, flowing pond, and native landscaping. Permaculture specialists installed plants to support the environment and privacy, and there is a fenced garden ready to supply your winter crops. The shed has been partially converted into an insulated room with electricity and air conditioning. The interior has new oak floors, archways, and tray ceilings. The kitchen has a new custom island, leathered granite counters, and a charming pot holder and brick surround. There is ample storage in the laundry room with an entire wall of cabinetry. All of the windows are covered in custom window treatments including roller and Roman shades. The large primary suite has patio access, an enormous closet, and charming views of the greenbelt and garden. The primary bath has a free-standing shower, jetted tub, and double vanity. The secondary bedrooms are conveniently located on the opposite side of the house, on either side of a shared bathroom and hallway. Don’t miss this opportunity to have it all.
