Mid-century charm meets easy, low-maintenance living in this stylish 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch in the Groesbeck area! Thoughtfully designed for efficient single-level living, this home offers a functional layout with no stairs and no basement to maintain. Clean lines and classic mid-century character give the home plenty of personality, while several recent updates make it move-in ready. Conveniently located near the highway, Frandor shopping Center, Eastwood Town Center and grocery stores. Updates include new kitchen appliances in 2023, a new kitchen sink and faucet in 2024, a new bathroom faucet in 2025, and new flooring in the second bedroom in 2022. All interior doors have also been refreshed with new paint and hardware for a clean, cohesive look.

EV owners will appreciate the existing charger with its own separately metered BWL line dedicated to EV charging, making it easy to take advantage of lower-cost charging outside BWL's weekday peak hours of 1-8 PM. Simple, functional and full of mid-century appeal, this home is a great option for anyone looking for comfortable living without a lot of upkeep.
