Affordable living never looked this good! This corner-lot charmer sits proudly on a double lot, offering the space, character, and outdoor living that are increasingly hard to find. Original hardwood floors add warmth and timeless appeal, while a thoughtful remodel brings modern function to this classic Denison home. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, under-cabinet lighting, timeless brushed-metal hardware, and contemporary pendant lighting. The hall bath makes a statement with classic black-and-white tile and a beautifully tiled tub surround. The spacious primary suite overlooks the backyard and features its own ensuite bath with a generous vanity, while the split-bedroom layout offers added privacy. Step outside to the covered back patio, where lush Canna lilies frame the space and create a colorful backdrop for morning coffee or dining al fresco. The double lot provides plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, garden, entertain, or simply spread out. Two detached outbuildings offer excellent storage and have plenty of potential with a little TLC. Behind the home, a gravel drive occupies the former carport area and provides an ideal location to add a new carport if desired. The home was extensively remodeled approximately 10 years ago, including updates to the kitchen, plumbing, and electrical. A durable metal roof adds another layer of long-term value and longevity compared to traditional composition roofing. Classic character, practical updates, a double lot, and a backyard made for enjoying the Texas sunshine—this is the kind of Denison home that just feels good.
