Property Description
Enjoy the best of country living with this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home situated on nearly 2 acres within Merkel city limits. The open-concept design features stained concrete floors throughout for a seamless, low-maintenance finish. A cozy fireplace with an insert adds warmth, while the updated primary shower enhances comfort. The converted garage, complete with tile flooring and heating and cooling, offers flexible use as a game room, office, or workshop while still maintaining a functioning garage door.
Step outside to a spacious covered patio ideal for relaxing or entertaining. In August 2025, new drainage was installed, and the yard south of the carport was leveled with fresh sod added, giving the outdoor space an inviting update. For livestock, projects, or storage, the property includes a 40x40 metal barn with stalls and both 30-amp and 50-amp RV plugs on a dedicated service. A chicken coop conveys with the property for those seeking a homestead setup.
Practical improvements continue with energy-efficient windows installed in 2024 to help with utility costs. Several dead trees were removed, and live trees trimmed in March 2025, leaving the yard well-kept and ready to enjoy. The refrigerator, washer, dryer, and mounted living room TV all stay, adding extra value and convenience.
This unique property blends comfort, function, and outdoor living opportunities. Come see the updates in person—schedule your showing today! Enter from Scott Street at the sign.
