Take a look at this delightful home in the historic Highland area. Nestled on the edge of a gentle hill, evening sunsets on the raised front porch are a dream. Mature shade trees and vegetation enrich the brick-pathed landscape, sustained by an automatic irrigation system. With two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two large living areas, the layout can accommodate a wide range of needs. Stepping into the front living room, the vintage fireplace, timeless hardwood floor, and traditional trim work take you back in time as sunlight pours through the windows. The sizable cottage-style kitchen is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling cabinets and has room for a breakfast table or island. One bedroom features a bright and relaxing ensuite bathroom with separate tub and shower and a full walk-in closet. The back living area serves perfectly as a large flexible space, but it could easily accommodate a third bedroom conversion while still leaving room for a dining area or home office. In the pleasantly landscaped backyard, cookouts and conversations are just waiting to be enjoyed. Easy access to the fully enclosed garage provides abundant workshop space, ample storage, and protected parking. While preserving much of its character, this home contains all modern comforts and is well-maintained. Notable features include fiber internet connection and built-in security system. The roof was replaced in 2023, and all exterior trim was repaired and painted this year. Come experience the charm of this special home in a quiet, well-located, and treasured Abilene neighborhood!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
