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.
