Private, cute and so close to Lake Jackson ranch style home completely renovated with fairly new HVAC, new paint inside and out, granite counter top with stainless steel appliances. Open floor space with side deck and full unfinished basement. So much potentials for the basement. Great home for relaxation away from the city with closeness of Jackson Lake within 5 minutes. Come and bring your fishing poles!
