Nestled in the rolling hills of North Texas, this cozy one story cottage sits on nearly 5 acres at the edge of a grove of trees that leads to the creek. Explore the creek, fossil hunt or just enjoy the sounds of nature from the secluded back porch. Big ticket items were done in 2019; roof, foundation repair and exterior painting. The bones of this charmer are great…all that is needed is for you to let your inner “fixer upper” loose! Wood burning fire place for chilly nights, vaulted ceilings for dramatic effect and a well-laid-out floorplan await. This home is being sold in conjunction with Lot 16 next door (parcel #135489 1.86 acres. MLS 14257873). Total estate is 4.74 acres. Van Alstyne ISD.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
