A Little More Room for the Good Life - A little land, a lot of shade, and a home that knows how to make good use of both. Set on just over an acre in Hills of Childress Creek, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home brings together 2,779 square feet of single-story living, mature trees, a circular drive, 3-car garage, and the kind of backyard that might have you canceling your weekend plans. Step inside to warm wood floors, crown molding, and a spacious living room centered around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. A wall of windows keeps the backyard in view, while the open connection to the kitchen makes everyday life and entertaining feel easy. There you'll find granite counters, abundant wood cabinetry, an island, breakfast bar, and plenty of workspace. A separate dining area adds another welcoming place to gather. The primary suite is generously sized with dual vanities, a jetted tub, separate shower, and large walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility, but the real wildcard is the oversized bonus room with a nearby full bath. Game room, media room, music room, guest retreat, home gym, or hobby space, there's room here for life to change without outgrowing the house. Then head outside. A covered patio overlooks the stone waterfall pool and spa, while mature trees wrap the backyard in a natural sense of privacy. Beyond the pool, there's still plenty of yard to enjoy, giving you that hard-to-find combination of shade, space, and a backyard built for long Texas afternoons. Built in 2009, this is a home with space where it counts, character you can see, and an outdoor setting that's hard to recreate. Come for the pool. Stay for everything else.
