About 40-50 miles north of Fort Worth. It is my sister's home. She is widowed, retired this year and is ready to downsize. All the homes in her little area have 2 acres on the property and she says it is too much now that she is alone.

Very nice! My SO would love that "shed"! And does one of the garage bays have a door that opens to the pool area?

It's a lovely home. It's seems like a great price for so much space.

Yes please and thank you! That lovely home would suit me very well. I'd imagine it will be snapped up.
Loved the couch steps! Are they for a kitty or a pooch?

Nice house, lots of space. Love the closet and the pergola especially. We have even more acreage and I don't know how we will manage it in a few years so I can appreciate her position.

What a beautiful home! It has everything anyone could want. I imagine it will sell fairly quickly. Good luck to your sister as she ventures into her next phase of life.

It's a beautiful home. I hope it sells quickly for her.
After moving recently, all I could think is that is a lot of stuff to deal with, LOL.

It is beautiful! If we were moving to Texas, I’d consider it. However, like lisae, I know I am getting older because I actually thought that I wouldn’t want to worry about pool upkeep and all that mowing. If I were wealthy, however, and could afford pool and yard service workers, I’d be a happy camper. It should sell quickly because of the University, I would think.

It's a beautiful home, but way too big for me.
And you couldn't pay me to live in TX with their crazy governor!
Best of luck to your sister on her move.

Good luck to your sister. It should sell fast.
One question about the listing... why do they not list square foot right in with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms? I didn't see it in the listing, but I saw the acreage numbers. Is that a Texas thing, or did I miss it? Just curious because our listings have it right up front and in the taxes area of the listing, they tell you price per square foot. I guess it is what I usually go to in a listing to see how pricey the place is.

Later on, in the "junk room" I wondered why the agent didn't have her straighten up a bit more in that room.

My guess is because there is acreage with the home. All the agents who list for property in the city give the square footage. The house is 2887 sq ft., if I remember correctly.

The pantry always has me full of envy. Look at photo #6 and you see the door that opens to the pantry. It is a walk in pantry with shelves on 3 sides.

I wouldn’t move to Texas if they were giving the land and house for free. Reason, Greg Abbott. Edited to add Ted Cruz.

It's a beautiful home. I hope it sells quickly for her. After moving recently, all I could think is that is a lot of stuff to deal with, LOL. I thought the very same thing! I am down to just a few areas to pack and need to get it finished ASAP. The current schedule is to have the stagers move in their furnishings August 15th, photographer shoot the house August 16th, and go live August 17th, with an open house that first weekend. My realtor has been getting calls on my house already. I am signed with him, but the house is listed as “on hold” because we were doing some major updating. Then the master shower pan failed and cost me 10 days to get a new one installed, so please God, let those dates hold. The house accidentally went live for a few hours and he got several calls on it so I’m trying to be optimistic that we will get multiple offers during the open house weekend. That is what has typically been happening for his listings since there are very few homes for sale in my area. librarylady, your sister’s home is gorgeous! I can picture sitting out on her back deck after having a nice swim. But as a single woman, I can absolutely see why she needs to downsize. She will be much happier with a smaller place and less to have to manage. Tell her that I would strongly advise her to start packing now and putting the boxes into the “shed” area. I hired packers (at $1,400 per day) and they just shoved things into boxes, not caring whether those things went together or were safely wrapped in paper. I had purchased several huge rolls of moving/packing paper and a giant roll of corrugated paper to keep things safe and they barely used it. I am using those 16 ft pods to store and move my things to Oregon. So far, they have filled 4 pods! If I had packed my own boxes, I would have filled 2 pods. There was so much empty and wasted space in all the boxes. I am afraid to see how many things got broken by the time I buy a new place and get unpacked. I truly thought the “professionals” would do a better job. But I’m on a time crunch and need to just get packed up so they can sell my house. If I knew how they packed, I would have started packing much sooner than I did. At least I have several well-packed boxes that were done prior to the movers showing up and I am determined to finish the house myself. I have 1/2 of my craft room packed but cannot finish it because the realtor wants it shown as a craft room. There are several misc. things to pack up and then the movers will be back to load the final pod with my furniture and craft things. I am sneaking and packing multiple craft things myself that won’t be noticeable to buyers. Has she purchased a new house yet? And will she be moving near you? Moving is so stressful.

Beautiful home and so reasonably priced compared to the cost here! Reminds a lot of the home of friends in Killeen - similar layout and design.

I was surprised they would put photos online without taking 70% of the stuff out of the house. I was very turned off by the stuff and the styles.. seemed very very crowded .. but that is just my taste and the local real estate market stages everything here. I can imagine younger people walking in and walking out..not wanting to buy grandma's house. but the agents know the local market. best of luck with her sale!!

Here they would definitely make you take out all of the personal things for the photos -- even if you have a really nice big house, you will put people off who don't share your decorating style.

I would love it if it could be transported to the Gulf Islands maybe. It’s a lovely home and I would love to own it on one of the islands.
