LIKE NEW! This 1926 Craftsman is currently undergoing a full down-to-the-studs renovation. The home has been completely gutted to the 2x4s and rebuilt with all-new plumbing, electrical, windows, and expanded square footage. When complete, it will offer a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout with a large open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. The thoughtfully designed addition includes a spacious primary suite and a separate utility room. All cabinetry and finishes are still a work in progress. Planned improvements include a two-car carport and a fenced backyard to create a private outdoor space, with the potential for the buyer to have input on fence placement and carport location depending on timing. Estimated completion is early March, or sooner with a contract in place. Buyers who come in early may have the opportunity to select flooring and fixture options, making this home feel truly custom without the wait of a full ground-up build. Ideally located in a prime area of Merkel, this property is within walking distance to schools and is not located in a flood zone - adding both convenience and peace of mind. Now is the time to get involved and help shape the final details of this beautifully reimagined Craftsman - don't miss the chance to make it your own.
