About This Home

The quiet country feel of this property, tucked away on a dead-end street at the south edge of Allen, makes it the perfect retreat. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers farmhouse charm with many important updates already completed. Inside, you’ll find a large living room featuring an accent wall that also provides a functional space for hanging coats and hats. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of countertop space and abundant cabinetry for storage and organization. The dining room could also serve as a sunroom or cozy reading nook, highlighted by a wall of built-ins with charming accent doors. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms with ducted heat and air, plus window units for extra cooling and white noise. Fiber internet is already run to the home. The electrical was updated by Theel in 2017, and central heat and air were also installed in 2017. Additional major improvements include a new roof in 2021 following a hail storm, along with new siding and new windows installed at that time. The main sewer line was trenched and replaced in 2020, and a cellar wall was braced when the home was purchased in 2016. Outside, a newer patio provides the perfect space to BBQ, enjoy the sunset, or watch the livestock. A 2-car carport stays with the property, along with a charming old outbuilding that was likely once used as a milk barn or hog barn and is currently being used as a chicken coop. One of the most attractive features of this property is the impressive 40x60 shop, complete with a half bath on its own separate sewer line, 3 bays, and a darling covered patio entry. One bay could potentially be converted into an apartment or additional living quarters. The shop also features concrete floors, 220 electric, and one garage door opener on one of the three 10x10 doors. Located within the city of Allen on city lots, the property includes some platted streets and alleys that are not currently in use. In total, the property offers approximately 2.6 acres. The neighbor to the west currently uses a portion of the property for cattle and, in exchange, pays the water bill. The fence can be moved if the buyer prefers. Property lines do not follow the existing fencing on any side and are marked by pink flags. This property truly offers the best of both worlds—small-town living with space, character, and updates already in place—and it is priced to sell.
