Property InformationDescription

A delightful, one-of-a-kind retreat! This enchanting home, featured in Cottages and Bungalows' June/July 2020 issue, offers a unique blend of charm and modern convenience. Nestled in a golf-cart community, it's a short stroll to Slocum Lake, lake rights included. The artistically upcycled interior was designed to maintain a timeless feel. The 50' x 90' lot to the left of the home is included. What a perfect space for a huge garden. The bedroom boasts salvaged barn doors, hardwood floors, and a striking painted brick accent wall. Originally a three-bedroom home, one was converted into a large full bath with brick flooring, a clawfoot tub, and a built-in antique armoire for stylish storage. The main living area was enlarged by eliminating the second bedroom. It can be easily converted back if desired. The created space makes a great home office. There are white wood plank floors and a wood beam ceiling in the main area. The kitchen is a vintage lover's dream, featuring a Big Chill fridge, a stunning O'Keefe & Merritt gas stove, butcher block counters, a tin ceiling, and salvaged cabinets that enhance its cottage flair. A convenient laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen. The yard is a peaceful and private oasis. It's fully fenced from the front to the back so it's great for pets. It includes three charming sheds, each with electricity. The "Sleeping shed" could be an artist's studio or reading nook. The gardens burst with color all spring and summer, while the gated splash pool and gazebo extend your outdoor living. Own this endearing home for less than renting. It has an extensive attic space for storage. Low taxes! Experience the tranquility of country living with the convenience of being close to everything.
