About This Home
As of July 2025This Temple home is full of character and ready for a new chapter! Built in the 1950s, it still showcases its original hardwood floors in the main living area—just imagine the warmth they’ll bring once refinished. Two of the bedrooms are connected by a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, perfect for shared spaces or family living. The spacious back living area offers flexibility—it could serve as a second living room, a home office, or even a fourth bedroom. While it does need new carpet and some updating, the possibilities here are endless for a handy homeowner or savvy investor. Out back, you’ll find a large storage shed—ideal for tools, equipment, or turning into your next weekend project space. This is more than just a house—it’s a chance to restore a piece of Temple’s history and make it truly your own. Come take a look and see the potential for yourself!
