Property Details

3/2/2 single-story built in 2017 on 0.225 acres in The Groves at Lakewood Ranch — one of Temple's west-side subdivisions with four-sided brick masonry construction standard. 2,117 sqft open floorplan, single-story layout, with tile throughout the main living areas and carpet in the bedrooms. CONSTRUCTION QUALITY (above entry-level new construction): - Four-sided brick exterior — more durable than the vinyl and lighter exteriors used on most new builds in this price range - Enhanced insulation for year-round comfort and energy efficiency - Built with more substantial materials than typical builder-grade finishes RECENT UPGRADES (~$28,500 already done): - New 2024 roof (~$20K value) - Whole-home water softener and purification system (~$7K value) - New high-powered range hood (~$1,500 value) KITCHEN & INTERIOR: Granite countertops with an oversized island big enough to double as a workspace. Eat-in breakfast area plus a separate formal dining room. Primary suite on the main level with a large walk-in shower. OUTDOOR LIVING (the standout feature): Covered patio with a built-in masonry wood-burning fireplace — not a fire pit, not a gas insert. A real wood-burning fireplace. At under $350K in Temple, that's not standard. Most homes in this range give you a concrete slab and call it a patio. Fully fenced backyard. SCHOOLS — BELTON ISD: Zoned for Lakewood Elementary (top-rated), North Belton Middle, Lake Belton High. Property sits in Temple city limits but falls in the Belton ISD attendance zone. That distinction matters if schools are on your list. LOCATION: 10–12 minutes to BSW Temple Medical Center. 5 minutes to I-35. 20–25 minutes to Fort Hood. Minutes from shopping, restaurants, and Lake Belton.
