Pool home with a backyard big enough to actually use — in-ground pool, outdoor kitchen with stone bar seating for 4+, covered patio with TV and string lights, and still enough yard left for the dogs to run. That's rare for a pool home in Temple. 4 bed / 3.5 bath / 2,673 sqft single-story on a corner lot at the end of a cul-de-sac in Highland Park Estates. 0.255 acres with three street-facing sides and no through traffic. Dedicated office with built-ins — separate from all four bedrooms. Open layout flows from the kitchen through the living area to the back patio — and when you open those doors, the pool and outdoor kitchen hit you all at once. Kitchen has knotty alder cabinets, granite countertops, center island, stainless steel appliances, and tile backsplash. Living room features a stone fireplace with gas insert and remote — no sourcing wood. Fully-cased windows in the main living area. Primary suite is split from secondary bedrooms — tray ceiling, wood-look tile floors, dual vanity with granite. Office has wood-look tile floors and built-in shelving. Crown molding throughout the main living areas. Double French front doors with sidelights set the tone from the street. The outdoor setup is where this home separates itself. The pool has a natural stone edge with a large checkerboard paver patio — enough room for a full party without anyone falling in the pool. Stone bar seats 4+ with a mounted TV. Covered patio has another TV, ceiling fan, dining space for 6+, and string lights. Full wood privacy fence. At today's construction costs, this outdoor package runs $75K–$100K+ to build from scratch. 10 minutes to Baylor Scott & White Temple. 29 minutes to Fort Hood main gate. Zoned for Academy ISD.
