3269 An County Road 153 Welcome to the country life with this inviting, well maintained property south of historic Palestine in East Texas! Enter through the electric gate and follow the drive to this hidden 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home on approximately 23 acres, where a tree-shaded front porch welcomes you inside. The open living, dining, and kitchen areas overlook the private, wooded backyard through a wall of windows spanning the rear of the home. The living area features a brick wood-burning fireplace with built-in cabinetry on each side, while the dining area offers additional built-ins with a serving bar. The spacious kitchen boasts an island with seating, extensive cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a breakfast area surrounded by windows. Both bedrooms include ensuite baths and walk-in closets. Tile floors throughout add ease of care. A two-car garage provides ample storage, and a large private back patio-part open, part covered-overlooks the fenced yard. Additional features include extra blown-in insulation, wide soffits, and an automatic full-house propane generator. The acreage is a haven for deer and wildlife with 2 springs and a creek running across it, plus complete perimeter and cross fencing with game fencing along the south and east sides. Pastures are improved with Bermuda and Bahia grasses. Here is a home for your horses at the barn that offers 6 stalls with concrete walkway, feed room, hay room with concrete floor, tack room, wash rack, sink(needs repair), and water with heater, while a pipe fence surrounds the paddock. A pole barn with electricity, water, wood floor, and exterior stalls adds more versatility. A small shop with bathroom, water heater, washer, and dryer-previously used for pet grooming-could serve as an office or hobby space. It is time for a new phase of life in the peaceful countryside, surrounded by nature.
