About this home
Custom-Built 5-Bedroom Estate | Dual Master Suites | Lake Marpleton Views Discover this expansive, meticulously maintained custom estate offering privacy, durability, and multi-generational potential. Situated on a high-and-dry 2.19-acre lot with deeded access to Lake Pickett, this one-owner home boasts 3,514 sq. ft. of living space on one-level, and quality construction. The main residence is built entirely of concrete block with brick/stucco finish, premium vinyl gable siding, and deep aluminum soffit overhangs, designed specifically for minimal maintenance and energy efficiency. Interior Highlights: Three Distinct Living Wings: The split floor plan features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Dual Master Suites: Perfect for in-laws or multi-generational living. Suite #1 features a 14x36 layout with screen porch access. Suite #2 (added in 2008) is a private 22x22 retreat with a separate entrance, 9.6’ sunburst windows, and a private garden arbor. Three additional bedrooms share a full bath. Grand Living Areas: Cathedral (14.5’) and Vaulted (13.5’) ceilings soar over the Great Room, Family Room, and "Country Kitchen." Beautiful pecan-stained French doors separate the living spaces, including a sun-filled 30-ft extension room with a wall of “Chicago blend” brick, and double-pane, tinted casement windows between brick columns, overlooking the 65x45 walled courtyard (potential for future pool). Quality Finishes: Solid oak cabinetry throughout, extensive tile flooring, double-sided, floor-to-ceiling "Chicago Blend" brick fireplace with raised hearth and glass-brass fire screen enclosures, customized crown molding and additional trim package throughout. Exterior & Garage: Massive 3-Car Garage: A car enthusiast’s dream. This detached, 1,092 SF, all-brick, all-concrete block structure features oversized bays (18’ and 10’ doors), includes 400+ sq. ft. of ground-level storage and built-in cabinets, plus a plank-floored attic truss system for massive overhead storage with two pull-down access ladders. Outdoor Living: A 16-ft-tall screened porch with knotty-pine ceiling, brick paver floor, and generator hookup, opens to a walled courtyard (approx. 65x 45) with brick column inserts with power/lighting, designed as a garden today, but planned to accommodate a future swimming pool. Land & Zoning: The 2.19-acre lot perimeter is surrounded by Cypress estate fencing with a gated driveway, professional landscape design, two natural treed preserve areas for added privacy and reduced maintenance, and RV/Boat parking pad (65x30 area) behind a large concrete driveway turnaround. Zoning allows for one horse per acre. Systems & Updates: 17 SEER HVAC (2014), Two Deep Water Wells for irrigation and drinking, and a septic system upgraded in 2003 (serviced 2021). Roof Note: The roof is watertight with a high-grade self-adhering membrane (SAM), though the composite shingles are at the end of their cosmetic life. A credit is available off the list price for a full roof replacement. Sold AS-IS. This is a rare opportunity to own a high-quality, low-wear home with incredible bones and limitless potential.
