The residence blends comfort, accessibility, and durability. Its exterior features stone and Hardie Plank siding, with an asphalt shingle roof installed in 2013. A welcoming east‑facing front porch captures peaceful sunrises, while the 55’ x 10’ covered rear patio with pebbled concrete and a metal roof frames unforgettable Hill Country sunsets.
