Welcome to this updated one-story home designed for first-time buyers who want more than just a place to live. This home delivers comfort, peace of mind, and everyday convenience, making the leap into homeownership feel exciting instead of overwhelming. With more than $75,000 in major updates, the heavy lifting has already been handled for you. A replaced roof, completed foundation work, full PVC whole-home repipe, fresh interior paint, and durable LVP flooring create a truly move-in-ready experience where you can focus on living, not fixing - all while still leaving room to make the home your own. Step inside and you’ll find an inviting layout with split bedrooms for added privacy. The kitchen opens to the dining nook and flows into a spacious living area centered around a ceiling-height brick fireplace with a gas starter - a warm, welcoming backdrop for gatherings, movie nights, or quiet evenings at home. With three bedrooms and two full baths, the layout works well for new buyers, downsizers, or even as a long-term investment property. Outside, the property sits on a great lot surrounded by mature trees. The backyard offers plenty of room for pets, play, gardening, or weekend lounging. It’s the kind of outdoor space that adapts to your lifestyle as your needs change. And the location is hard to beat. You’re minutes from Hwy 78 and PGBT, offering easy access to the metroplex. Enjoy close proximity to the Firewheel area - a highly desirable hub for shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, as well as Rowlett Creek and the Dallas County Nature Preserve, perfect for outdoor lovers. Lake Ray Hubbard is also nearby for boating, fishing, or lakeside dining. With major updates complete, a functional floor plan, and a location that blends convenience with lifestyle, this home is a standout opportunity for anyone ready to move beyond renting and start building something of their own. This is a place to settle in, grow, and truly feel at home.
