About this home

Looking for a home in Academy ISD with a little more freedom and a lot more character? This updated ranch-style home offers a refreshing alternative to cookie-cutter living, all within approximately one mile of Academy schools. Mature trees frame the property, while the classic painted-brick exterior gives it a clean, timeless look. Inside, you'll find new luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh neutral finishes and an updated kitchen featuring white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances and a center island. The spacious living area is anchored by a brick fireplace, adding warmth and personality you simply don't find in every home. A flexible space provides options for a home office, playroom, hobby area or additional living space. Major improvements include a new roof and new HVAC, giving the next owner two big-ticket updates already completed. Outside may be where this property really separates itself. Enjoy two covered patio areas, mature shade trees and a backyard with room to make it your own. No HOA means added flexibility, including space to park a boat or RV, and chickens are permitted. Whether you envision backyard gatherings, a garden, a few hens or simply room to spread out, this property offers possibilities that can be hard to find. Conveniently located in Academy ISD with easy access to Temple and major routes toward Austin and Fort Cavazos, this home combines small-town convenience, useful updates and a property with personality. Not cookie-cutter. No HOA. Big-ticket updates already done. And room to live a little differently.
