About This Home

You don't have to be searching for a home with a pool to discover that you want one. This 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath home in the Meadows has a few great surprises of its own, and the pool is only the beginning. What was once a distinctly 1980s home has undergone a series of meaningful updates, while leaving room for its next owners to put their own stamp of personalization on it. Fresh interior paint, newer flooring throughout (not a stitch of carpet!), painted kitchen cabinets, and updated hardware have given the home a different look and feel. The living room's vaulted, beamed ceiling gives it character, but the double-sided fireplace provides a standout feature. Shared with the adjoining sunroom, it makes both spaces equally inviting. There's something especially appealing about a sunroom filled with natural light on a cold West Texas morning, with a fire burning just a few feet away. The kitchen has double ovens, as well as its own clever detail: a hidden pantry that keeps the necessities close without keeping them on display. Generous cabinetry provides additional storage, and with two casual dining areas including a separate dining room, there's no shortage of places to pull up a chair. All three bedrooms have access to their own full bathrooms, an arrangement that's particularly useful. The primary bathroom has seen one of the home's most dramatic improvements. Gone is the original brick floor planter, platform tub and shower combination, replaced with a generously sized walk-in shower. And for those who aren't ready to give up a good long soak, a Jacuzzi tub in another bathroom has that covered. Outside, the pool might just win over someone who never intended to own one. West Texas summers make a pretty convincing case for having water just steps from the back door, and the covered patio offers a place to enjoy the backyard without being in the middle of the action. A large, separate storage shed with divided rooms and tries provides space for the usual outdoor necessities, but could also lend itself to hobbies, crafts, or projects that need a space of their own. Some of the home's most useful features are the ones you might overlook on a first walk-through: a dedicated safe room, an electric vehicle charger, two water heaters, and motion-activated security lighting.. The two-car garage offers an additional storage room, while the semi-circular driveway provides extra parking without having to shuffle vehicles around. And with a popular, spacious neighborhood park just a short distance away, there's another outdoor space to enjoy beyond your own. This is a home that has already had considerable attention paid to it, without every decision having been made for the next owner. Between the refreshed interiors, unexpected spaces and practical extras, there's quite a bit more here than first meets the eye.
