This inviting one-story home captures Texas Hill Country charm with approximately 1,698 sq ft of living space. It features three bedrooms, two full baths, a half-bath, and generous porches framed with timber and stone.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
The façade blends limestone and board-and-batten siding with timber accents in the gable peaks and lintels. A metal roof extends over the 263 sq ft front porch, supported by wood timbers that evoke authentic regional architecture.
Front & Rear Outdoor Living
A covered front porch offers a welcoming transition to the interior. At the back, a 124 sq ft rear covered porch provides a shaded outdoor retreat with views to the landscape.
Interior Layout & Flow
The layout features a split-bedroom plan for enhanced privacy. Vaulted ceilings flow across the great room, dining area, and kitchen, promoting a spacious yet relaxed common zone. A large island and open kitchen layout support easy entertaining and daily routines.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The master suite includes a full bath and oversized closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bath and linen storage. A half-bath near the rear entry accommodates guests and complements organized utility flow.
Storage & Utility Areas
Designed for everyday convenience, the rear entry features built-in lockers and leads into a utility room with ample cabinetry. Pantry storage in the kitchen and closets in each bedroom support functional organization throughout the home.
