Charming country retreat on 1.36 acres in Hostyn! Located just south of La Grange, this spacious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home perfectly balances community charm with peaceful privacy. Inside, you will find gorgeous original longleaf pine flooring complemented by authentic horizontal shiplap walls, timeless beadboard accents, and striking planked ceilings with exposed ceiling beams featured throughout the home and bedrooms. The freshly painted interior (2026) also features new kitchen appliances (2026) and brand-new ceiling fans (2026). Tons of quality upgrades give you excellent peace of mind, including a complete foundation revamp to concrete pilings with steel I-beams (2018), a new roof and gutters on both the home and shop (2019), a new downstairs heat pump (2024), and a new upstairs A/C unit (2022). Outside, the generous, tree-shaded yard opens up to scenic views and a serene pond that serves as a beautiful backdrop for morning coffee and local birdwatching. Take in incredible Texas sunrises and sunsets from the porch, featuring brand-new columns and front/back steps (2026). Hobbyists will love the detached shop (built in 2018), which comes pre-wired for a woodshop. Enjoy an ideal location where neighbors are close enough for comfort, yet far enough to protect your peace. Truly a beautiful place to live with endless potential! More photos to come.
