Welcome to your west Texas oasis! This beautiful property sits on a third of an acre, protected by large mature oak trees. Upon entering, you will notice the pristine condition that the owners have kept the property in. A cozy living room with hardwood floors that run throughout leads you into a spacious dining room where it would be easy to enjoy a home cooked meal. The large kitchen has a plethora of cabinet space and is perfect for anyone who enjoys hosting. A family-friendly layout offers a primary bedroom, along with two additional bedrooms that share a spacious bathroom. Relaxing after a long day of work would be something along the lines of firing up your grill under the patio, turning on the hot tub , or taking a few dives into the pool. Highlights of the property include a two year old HVAC, totally rewired (breaker box in), a live water well, and a timed irrigation system front and back.
