The kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring an island with storage drawers and abundant granite countertop space, extensive cabinetry, and a refrigerator that conveys with the home. The original owner thoughtfully converted the third bedroom into a formal dining room, creating a versatile space that can easily serve as a home office, library, reading room, hobby room, or be enclosed to create a private third bedroom if desired. Privately located at the rear of the home, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat. The ensuite bath features a large walk-in tiled shower with built-in seating, generous vanity space, a linen closet, and an exceptionally roomy walk-in closet complete with ample hanging space and shoe cubbies.

One of the home's most delightful features is the inviting covered patio just off the kitchen. Bathed in natural light, it's a dream space for plant lovers and outdoor relaxation. The beautiful flagstone patio, complete with ceiling fans, creates an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The xeriscaped backyard offers low-maintenance beauty and features a charming stone walkway leading to the rear alley. Best of all, this lovingly maintained home is vacant and ready for immediate occupancy, making for a seamless and stress-free closing process. There is an HOA easement across Gruene Road for river access.
