At the end of a quiet road in Chalk Bluff, stands a lovely home on nearly 4 acres. The Austin stone and brick exterior are the first statement, before you enter to see the recently updated interior. With all new flooring, updated kitchen, a 2020 roof, and a newer tankless water heater and dishwasher, you'll see this home has been consistently maintained and upgraded. HVAC replaced 2024! And all appliances will stay if needed, including washer and dryer! The garage was semi-converted to bonus space; the floor sealed, roll-up door insulated and can easily be re-enabled, and mini-split added, therefore continue to enjoy the additional living square footage or easily convert back to a temperature-controlled garage. Enjoy the ideal split floor plan, with a master suite built to enjoy: a spacious bedroom, two walk-in closets, and a soaking tub separate from the shower that has a window to your lovely acreage. Speaking of enjoying your acreage, the large rear covered porch is a great place to watch the sun rise from behind your wooded land, where deer, turkeys, and rabbits frequent. The chickens have chosen to stay if you'll have them, so say hello as you head out to explore the path toward the wet-weather creek at the rear. Among the trees you'll find a few open spaces where kids and friends have camped, and the land welcomes further adventures. The abundant Brazos Bluffs acreage behind your property is another reason you'll experience what feels like the ultimate privacy deep in the country, but just moments from Homestead Heritage, and 10 minutes to I-35 or the heart of Waco.
