Description

Don't miss this historic updated Craftsman home that blends modern improvements with the character and craftsmanship of its original design. Updates include flooring, electrical, plumbing, countertops, and refreshed bathrooms, while original hardwood trim, distinctive fireplaces, and other period details preserve the home’s timeless appeal. Located less than 15 minutes from Dyess Airforce Base or the back gate of the new data center, this home is in the perfect location to enjoy small town living while still being close enough to all the hustle and bustle of a larger area.

The spacious laundry room features a convenient pet-washing station. Additional features include
a cistern and a basement offering easy access to the HVAC system and water heater, along with flexible space that could be used for storage, hobbies, recreation, or a craft area. The basement offers indoor and outdoor access.

A detached guest house adds even more versatility and includes a kitchen and bathroom. This separate space offers possibilities for guest accommodations, a home office, studio, or potential rental use, subject to applicable zoning and local requirements.

A unique property offering historic Craftsman character, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and additional improvements—all ready for its next chapter.
