Situated on a 0.60-acre corner lot with pecan trees, the 2215 square foot main home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light. A soaring vaulted living area with a warm brick fireplace anchors the space, while the loft provides extra living or flex space. The spacious eat-in kitchen, generous utility room with sink and extra fridge space and large primary suite with sitting area, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath add to the home’s livability. The main home's inviting front porch offers the perfect outdoor living spot to enjoy morning coffee, a meal with family or friends or simply relax. A true standout feature is the 791 square foot separate apartment (ADU)—perfect for multi-generational living, guest quarters or guest house, long- or short-term rental (no HOA) or business venture. The apartment includes a living and dining area, full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, office, full-size utility room, two exterior entrances, and its own dedicated HVAC system offering privacy and independence from the main home. The property features an impressive 39'x25' 4-bay garage with ducted HVAC with its own dedicated unit, bathroom, a 12'x10' office, two storage rooms plus attic lift for overhead storage. Additional highlights include two carports, ample parking (7 total covered parking spaces), and a concrete pad with exterior 220V plug for RV or boat parking. With over 3000 square feet of space between the main home and apartment, this property offers space, flexibility, and character, and it will appeal most to buyers who appreciate restoration and improvement opportunities. The property is priced to reflect its current condition and is best suited for those comfortable completing updates and repairs as part of ownership.
