About this home

Come home to a place where evenings are spent on the back porch, weekends leave room for your favorite projects, and there's space to make country living your own. Situated on 3.71 unrestricted acres in Ben Wheeler, this 3-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath home in Van ISD pairs a welcoming home with an exceptional shop setup. Vaulted ceilings open up the spacious living, dining, and kitchen area, creating an inviting setting for everything from quiet nights at home to lively gatherings. Stained concrete flooring adds character, while granite countertops complement a kitchen that keeps the cook connected to the conversation. Red iron construction and foam insulation round out the home's practical features. The primary suite offers built-in cabinetry, a private ensuite, and a walk-in closet. In the two secondary bedrooms, built-in bed and shelving areas make thoughtful use of the space, while a shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom connects the rooms. Just beyond the home, a two-car porte-cochere leads to the 30x50 shop. Insulated and equipped with electricity, three 12-foot roll-up doors, and a 20x50 awning, it offers ample room for tools, equipment, and projects. The shop's man cave area features a second kitchen and a separate half bath-an ideal gathering spot when the workday turns into an evening with friends. Out back, the covered porch overlooks the neighboring pond, offering a beautiful backdrop for morning coffee or unwinding at sunset. With room to garden, pursue hobbies, and enjoy the outdoors, this East Texas home with acreage brings together the comfort, freedom, and usable space that make country living so appealing.
