Homes usually don't last too long in Willeburn Acres. Located close to schools, Temple and shopping, when homes here are are priced fairly they sell quickly. Although built in the mid-1960's most of these homes have been upgraded over the years. The higher sales prices are usually directly correlated to recent renovations.

This home is lovely. With a steep roof and four gabled windows this home has good curb appeal. The landscaping is well maintained, the exterior tidy and the street reasonably quiet. A purple door leads you into an open hardwood foyer. You immediately notice the lack of clutter and nice paint. The hardwood runs through the entire first level and is in pristine condition. The living room and dining rooms are large and nicely furnished. The galley kitchen is beautifully renovated with cherry cabinets, brushed nickel pulls and granite counters. It was hard to believe that the renovation was 8 years old. Very nicely done.

There is also a full bath and bedroom on the first level. This would be great as an in-law suite or guest bedroom. The family room is bright with great views of the level backyard. I could not wait to see what they had done with the upstairs.

The master bedroom suite is very nice. Walk in closets, ceiling fan and bath all in great shape. The other bedrooms are nice size and share a hall bath that was recently updated. You could move right in to this home without having to worry about renovation or updating the decor.

The basement is finished with a large recreation room and laundry facilities. The carpet looks new and fits the space well. There is plenty of space for a large TV and surround sound.

This home shows beautifully. The colors of paint, the kitchen and the lack of clutter make you feel you could move your stuff in tomorrow. Although the price may be a bit aggressive, I don't think this home will last long. Willeburn is sought after and in this home all the work is already done. This deserves some premium. I see this one selling between $850-860K when the dust settles.

  1. To my knowledge this home never did sell. In my opinion the transition space from the one care garage to the family was awkward. Additionally the family butted up to the kitchen with minimal transition.
