About This Home
Tucked away on 1.68 wooded acres in Strayhorn Hills, this one-of-a-kind A-frame offers privacy, character, and plenty of potential.

Inside, you'll find a vaulted living area with fireplace, loft overlooking the main floor, finished basement space, and flexible rooms that can be used for hobbies, a home office, guests, or additional living space.

The home is ready for its next owner to make it their own and is being sold As-Is. Served by a 2-bedroom septic system. Whether you're looking for a renovation project, weekend retreat, or full-time residence with a unique design and private setting, this property offers a chance to create something special.
