Tucked beneath a canopy of majestic oak trees, 1117 S Leggett blends mid-century charm with modern upgrades on just over an acre in one of Abilene’s most established and coveted neighborhoods, Elm Creek.
Built in 1951, this classic single-story home features timeless mid-century exterior styling, a layout built for livability, and meaningful updates throughout. Inside, you'll find 5 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and two oversized living areas, perfect for gatherings, game nights, or everyday unwinding. The family room centers around a cozy fireplace, offering a warm, welcoming anchor to the home.
The kitchen, east-facing for soft morning light, features endless counter space, an eat-in breakfast bar, wine fridge, and ice maker, making it just as suited for entertaining as it is for quiet mornings.
Three of the full bathrooms and the powder room have been tastefully remodeled within the last three years, blending function and style with timeless finishes.
Out back, your own park-like retreat awaits: lush, well-kept grounds, towering trees, and a 25x40 creekside swimming pool create an ideal space for relaxation, entertaining, or simply enjoying the view. The east-facing covered patio is perfectly positioned for sunrise coffee and shaded afternoons.
Extras include a 3-car garage, circle drive, EV plug-in, and an incredibly flexible bonus, a recently remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bath guesthouse ideal for multigenerational living, a home office, or income-producing rental potential.
If you're seeking space, beauty, and a better pace of life, 1117 S Leggett offers a rare combination of timeless style, thoughtful upgrades, and resort-level comfort, all just minutes from the heart of town.
