Charming and full of potential, this two-bedroom, two-bath home is ideally located just east of Highway 75 in Howe, Texas, right off the highway and perfectly positioned midway between McKinney and Denison. Situated in the older downtown area, the property offers small-town character with convenient access to major commuting routes, shopping, and dining. The home sits on a pleasant subdivision lot with mature trees that provide shade and curb appeal. A detached storage building adds valuable space for tools, equipment, or hobbies, while the one-car carport offers covered parking and easy access to the home. Inside, the house reflects its original charm while featuring numerous updates completed over time. The exterior is finished with siding, and the home is supported by a pier-and-beam foundation, allowing for easier maintenance and future improvements. Gas service is available, with gas appliances already in place—an appealing feature for buyers who prefer efficiency and performance. With two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the layout is functional and comfortable, making it well-suited for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors. While the home does need some additional work, it presents an excellent opportunity to add personal touches and build equity. The fixer-upper nature of the property allows buyers to customize finishes and upgrades to their taste while preserving the character of an older home. This property offers a rare combination of location, charm, and potential in the heart of Howe. Whether you’re looking for a starter home, an investment opportunity, or a renovation project with upside, this home delivers solid value and endless possibilities in a growing North Texas community.
