Located in the rapidly growing Rayford corridor, I was excited to visit the new Signature Kroger’s gas center on the way!  This home is also a short walk away from Fox Spring Park, which has 2 baseball fields, a lake, and park/picnic area.  Super Conroe ISD schools Ford, York, and Oak Ridge High School.

If you are an agent looking for the support and systems of a professional real estate team, we’d love to hear from you!  Must subscribe to the “Realtor for life” philosophy and act as a real estate consultant rather than a salesperson.

If you are looking for a home with a larger lot and a pool, boy do I have a great one for you to see!  This home is located in popular Westwood, with easy access to the new Target Supercenter, FM 1488, I-45, and The Woodlands.  Owners have priced to sell at $188,000.  This is a four bedroom with a second bedroom down with its own full bath.  Square footage is 2215 square feet.  The Master has an adjoining room that now serves as a nursery but would also be a great study.  I love the closet space in this home - also of note are the larger bedroom sizes!

Westwood features homes with lots that are almost half an acre (this home’s lot size is 20,000 square feet).  510 Weisinger has so much to offer with the pool, fenced play area, storage shed, and RV storage - you have easy access through double gates!  I also enjoy the lush landscaping around the pool and the mature trees that shade the yard and the house.

The current owners have converted the garage into a gameroom with French doors and laminate floors.  They will be willing to convert it back into a garage if desired.
