About this home

Welcome to your slice of small-town Texas living, where thoughtful updates meet wide open space! Nestled in the heart of Merkel just minutes from Abilene, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on nearly half an acre and offers a rare blend of comfort, functionality, and outdoor perks. Step inside to find a warm and inviting layout with recent updates that make this home move-in ready including a brand-new roof installed June 2025! The living room is equipped with a wood burning fireplace and the kitchen includes tons of counter space, tons of cabinets, a designated dining area, and a pantry! Outside you'll find an oversized shop, outfitted with electricity, perfect for projects, hobbies, or extra storage, plus designated RV parking and plenty of space to park all your toys! The fully fenced backyard is ideal for pets and play, and the covered back patio, complete with a speaker system, sets the stage for evening barbecues or lazy weekend lounging. A charming bonus: a small shed that once served as a chicken coop adds character and versatility to the property. You'll also enjoy the convenience of city water with the added bonus of a private well to keep your lawn lush and green year-round. This home truly has something for everyone; space, updates, and outdoor amenities that are hard to come by. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy peaceful living with easy access to Abilene!
