Welcome to this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in an established Temple neighborhood, offering a rare combination of character, thoughtful updates, and versatile living spaces. Owned by the same family since its construction in 1968, this home has been well cared for and thoughtfully improved over the years. The completely remodeled kitchen (2025) features updated cabinetry, countertops, and finishes, while maintaining a functional layout separate from the main living areas. Inside, you’ll find a spacious and flexible floor plan designed to fit a variety of lifestyles. A large multi-use room offers the perfect space for a combined living and dining area or an additional gathering space. In addition, a separate room provides endless possibilities ideal for a game room, office, second living area, or hobby space. The main living room showcases beautiful wood-beamed ceilings and a striking fireplace. The mantle is truly one-of-a-kind—crafted from an original floorboard from the historic Scott & White building on Avenue G, adding a meaningful touch of local history. Recent upgrades provide peace of mind, including a new roof (August 2024), all new windows (2021), fresh interior paint, updated garage door, upgraded HVAC filtration system, and a Kohler 20kW whole-home backup generator. The home also features an underground termite prevention system and a Rainbird sprinkler controller, along with newly designed and installed landscaping. The backyard offers plenty of space to enjoy outdoor living, while the garage includes a versatile storeroom. A rare opportunity to own a home with deep roots in Temple history, flexible living options, and modern updates already in place.
