Huge price reduction! Step into a home with character you simply don’t find anymore. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, brick residence in Garland blends timeless craftsmanship with a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels straight out of a classic 80s study—think rich wood tones, cozy textures, and spaces made for gathering. The main living area is the heart of the home, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a striking wood-burning fireplace, and custom built-in bookshelves with an integrated bar—perfect for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. Beautiful wood paneling adds depth and charm, while the carpeted living space enhances the comfort and acoustics of the room. The layout offers functional living with all bedrooms thoughtfully positioned, and a convenient half bath for guests. Outside, mature hedges and trees create privacy and curb appeal, while the spacious backyard offers room to relax, garden, or host weekend get-togethers. The rear-facing attached 2-car garage adds both convenience and a clean front elevation. Located in Garland ISD, you’ll enjoy the added benefit of school choice from elementary through high school. Built in 1986 and full of personality, this home is ideal for buyers who appreciate distinctive design, solid construction, and a space that truly feels like home.
