Description

Just outside the city limits of Drexel, this well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a rare combination of convenience and value with city water service and no city taxes. Situated on just over a half-acre, this home provides a peaceful setting with room to enjoy the outdoors, plus a storage building that conveys.

Inside, the home features a thoughtfully updated kitchen with butcher block countertops and a clean, inviting aesthetic that opens to the main living area with solid oak hardwood floors throughout. The bathroom has also been refreshed with a current look and feel. The open-concept layout creates an easy flow for everyday living, and the washer and dryer are conveniently located just off the living space for added functionality.

A durable brick exterior paired with a metal roof offers low-maintenance living and long-term peace of mind, while the HVAC system was replaced in 2020, adding to the home’s overall value and efficiency. A covered carport provides convenient parking and easy access.

This property is an excellent option for first-time buyers seeking affordability and move-in readiness, downsizers looking for manageable living without sacrificing outdoor space, or investors interested in a solid property close to town with strong rental potential. Located on a quiet street yet just minutes from local amenities, this home offers the flexibility to fit a variety of lifestyles—close to everything you need, without the added cost of city taxes.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from April 10, 2026
