Tucked away on a quiet, private lot in Lexington, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home gives you space and peace while keeping you within reach of the city. Austin is about an hour west and Houston is a little over two hours east, so you can work in either one and still come home to the country. Inside, the open floor plan keeps the living area and kitchen connected. There’s a breakfast area for everyday meals and a formal dining room for holidays and bigger gatherings. The laundry room is large, with room to fold, sort and store. The backyard is built for cooking and company. A covered BBQ cabana with two smokers sits at the center of it, with plenty of room to gather around. It fits right in, since this is the town that’s home to Snow’s BBQ. There’s also a large air-conditioned outbuilding that would work well as an art studio, home gym, workshop or office. The home is zoned to highly rated Lexington ISD, and the property tax rate is low compared with Austin and Houston. You get a small-town pace, solid schools, and two major cities within reach, with the bonus of having cows as next-door neighbors. Zochnet Fiber internet.
