hermitage, microforest, minimeadow going on the market

I have loved on this space I call home, I call gift. But I will be going to do my PhD in Lubbock and don't know where I will land at its end so the hermitage in the woods must go. It is located on ten acres two miles from the NW corner of Sam Houston National Forest. A fifteen minute drive from Sam Houston State University and 76 miles from the heart of downtown Houston. It would make a fine weekend place.





Two bedroom, one bath, laundry room, two carport under house, kitchen, den, living room, dining room, firebox. Open concept (no hallways). Split level, laundry room on ground floor.





Freshly renovated since August 2011 over the course of two and a half years: 
entire interior painted, kitchen cabinets paints, new vanity in bathroom and updated exhaust vent, all new sinks and fixtures, all new lights and ceiling fans, Trane Heat Pump HAVAC system, all new duct work, LG washer and dryer front loading stacked, new front door, hot water heater, updated electrical switches, new beautiful to die for deck with planters, new landscaping with drought tolerant plants.

Both bedrooms are 10x11, each with 3 windows.
Both bedrooms are identical
in layout, just mirrored. 

New kitchen sink.
Sink, faucets, lights and vanity updated.

New door to let even more light in.

Great neigbhors.

Am in the process of installing all new flooring (which is why not interior pics yet). I have a few more things to finish to have the fit and finished fully loved on, i.e. handrail onto deck, etc.
