Adorable. Charming. This beautifully landscaped setting showcases this 2 bedroom 1 bath ranch with 1.62 acres. Pecan paneling and custom made draperies throughout this well cared for home. A well placed screened porch allows you to gaze on the tranquil setting of low maintenance gardens with rock borders and quiet sitting areas. A single detached garage with workshop and 12 x 26 floored overhead storage adds to the function of this home. Included in the acreage is the open lot across the street that provides additional green space. This is a superb find!
