Inside: With over 1,300 sq ft of living space, this lovingly updated home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 1 full bath.

A recent pre-inspection has been completed, and every noted item has already been addressed. A copy of the inspection report is available upon request, along with a detailed list of recent updates to the home. Outside: Accessed via a tree-lined, deeded easement, this home offers exceptional privacy. Surrounded on all four sides by mature trees; you'll enjoy peace and quiet with no neighboring homes in view—except one at the end of the easement on Merritt Road.

The property also includes several fruit trees (cherry, peach and apple), and pecan and walnut trees. The parking area is crushed asphalt. The land is well-suited to beekeeping, small livestock, or gardening. Incidentally, the current owners do garden, and no pesticides have been used while they owned.
