About this home

Designed by architect Vail Logsdon, this is the kind of property that does not come along often in Bell County. Set on 1.12 beautifully wooded acres, the home is nearly hidden from the street, with a tucked-away, shaded circle drive. It feels remarkably private, yet sits right in the middle of town with easy access to grocery stores, dining, and I-35. Inside the two-bedroom, 2.5-bath main residence, every space reflects the mid-century architecture, with details that reveal themselves at every turn: vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, natural stone, Saltillo tile, custom built-ins, built-in speakers, and walls of glass. The living room centers on a substantial stone fireplace, flanked by walls of glass that frame mature trees and bring the wooded setting into the room. The kitchen features open shelving, a dry bar, and a wall of windows overlooking the in-ground pool. The primary suite uses custom built-ins to define the sleeping, dressing, and bath areas, with a tucked-away office. The oversized secondary bedroom is equally memorable, wrapped in expansive windows and anchored by a custom built-in wall that can be reconfigured for additional bunks. Outside, Saltillo tile continues onto the covered patio overlooking the pool, shaded by a sprawling live oak. A winding garden path moves through mature landscaping and quiet pockets of the property, passing a large fire pit area and creating a backyard that feels more like a private retreat than a typical in-town lot. Beyond the 2,836 sq ft main residence, a detached 1,170 square foot one-bedroom guest house includes a full kitchen, living and flex spaces, laundry, and a full bath, plus its own tucked-away outdoor area. A separate 356 square foot one-bedroom, one-bath pool house overlooks the pool. Rounding out this unique property are a sauna and large workshop. The longer you explore, the more you notice: another detail, another view, another reason this property simply cannot be captured in photos alone.
