About this House

This is a great home in a great neighborhood. Only one block from South Park. The St. Augustine yard is kept lush with a sprinkler system on a timer and attached to a water well. This house is a 3 bedroom/2 bath home with 2 living areas that have all been freshly painted and are ready for a new family. We use the second living area as a 4th bedroom by simply blocking the back door with a tall dresser. French doors open from the kitchen/breakfast area onto a covered back porch. There is storage in the back yard in addition to the 2-car garage. A 25 x 30 carport completes the driveway. There is also a fenced-in side yard in the back that includes a double gate for easy entry from the alley.
Texts are the easiest method of contact. (325) 201-2729. Make an appointment. We would love to show off this home.

GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My children and I love this school. Their academic expectations are high, the teachers are sensitive and driven, the office staff friendly, and other staff helpful as well. My children do well in this school. There are occassionally problems with peers (as is expected in this age group), but they are quickly resolved. If one of my children is falling behind, I am quickly made aware and the teacher and I work together to get the child back up with the rest of the class. I love this school and I love this town. You will find the friendly small-town atmosphere carries over into the school.
