What the owner loves about this home
Quiet neighborhood and an up and coming area of East, Texas. Lake Murvaul is one of those hidden gems. Regular sunset boat rides feels like having your own private lake! I love sitting on the deck during a rain and thunderstorm! The rain hitting the tin roof is so comforting. Easy access to both Highway 79 and Highway 59.
