Escape the cookie-cutter subdivisions with this character-filled, custom home, offering the rare freedom of limited restrictions in a growing rural community. More Home. More Yard. Zero Extra Fees. In the heart of Bertram, 551 N Grange Street is the kind of home that doesn’t come along often. Every room tells you someone cared: shiplap and beadboard walls, custom window trim, hand-selected paint colors, built-in shelving, and granite countertops that anchor a kitchen designed to actually be cooked in. The single-level layout puts all three bedrooms on the main floor. Two distinct living areas give this home a flexibility that open-concept builds simply can’t match: use one as your everyday gathering space with its wood-burning fireplace, and claim the second as a home office, media room, playroom, or creative retreat. Step outside and you have room to breathe. The fully fenced almost quarter-acre lot features established shade trees, a productive fig tree, a back yard built for evenings, and a storage shed ready for tools, lawn equipment, or weekend projects. String lights are already hung. The front porch is already there. You just have to show up. The bones are solid: metal roof, wood and stone exterior, slab foundation, dual pane windows, and a full appliance suite that stays with the home including the refrigerator, washer, and dryer. No trips to the appliance store. No surprise move-in costs. And here’s the number that matters most: $0 per month in HOA fees. When comparable new construction nearby carries HOA fees of over $100 every single month, the true cost of ownership here is thousands of dollars less over the life of your loan. Character, craftsmanship, and real savings don’t often come in the same package. No HOA. Just a real home in a real town, ready for the next chapter.
