Nestled in a quiet pocket of Martindale, this fixer-upper promises a tranquil escape from the rigor of city life. As you approach the home, you are greeted by its charm and the potential it holds within. The current owner has already provided the groundwork for renovations and since December 2021 has replaced both the A/C and water heater, installed vinyl flooring throughout, and enclosed the back porch to serve as a mudroom/laundry room. Additionally, the pier and beam foundation has been leveled and all new skirting placed around the perimeter of the house.
The home sits on .5 acre of level land with a peaceful backyard that overlooks an expansive open pasture. Just imagine sitting outback, coffee in hand, with an unobstructed view of the sunrise each morning. Or if you are more of a night owl, gathering around a bonfire under the starry night sky.
Located away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet just a short drive from essential amenities, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Don't miss your chance to claim this adorable sanctuary and personalize it into the retreat of your dreams.
