Winnsboro Offers This Peaceful Wilderness for an Affordable Price

Winnsboro is quickly turning from one of Texas’ best-kept secrets into one of the most sought-after places to settle down. Situated in East Texas, this historic town is a haven for the arts, outdoors, and cultural events. Here, an abundance of eastern white pines and enchanted live oaks set the backdrop for breathtaking views. Of course, the area also boasts an abundance of fishing lakes, beaches, and boating areas.

For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we are stoked to show you one Winnsboro lake house you’re sure to fall in love with.

Paul Sanders with Compass RE Texas lists 143 Private Road 8585 for $599,900. This beautiful 2,402 square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom lake house is a dream you just have to discover.

From the outside, the home boasts a classic cottage-inspired feel. With quaint Germanic-style exterior touches, this storybook home could not be any more appealing.

Upon walking in, this home opens up in an awe-inspiring way. You can tell it was designed to maximize outdoors viewing with vast ceilings, an abundance of windows, and an efficient open floor plan.

The living room captures the essence of the traditional lake house aesthetic with beautiful polished hardwoods, a classic stone hearth, and a reading nook with a built-in bookcase.

Then, the living room seamlessly transitions to an elegant open dining area. Entertaining in this open area is a front row seat to nature.

Then, the kitchen lives just off the dining area. Consistent with the open flow, it conveniently transitions over an eat-in bar. Here, stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinetry, and beautiful counters allow for an exceptional chef’s experience.

Then, the primary suite is elegant and cozy with a surprising pop of design and pale earthy green color on the ceiling. Also, this room boasts a spectacular outside view and is the perfect place to wind down after a day on the lake.

Then, the ensuite bathroom features dual vanities, a soaking tub, and walk-in shower. All of these fixtures are modern, updated, and exceptional. It’s only natural that you’d want to stay soaking in that deep tub like a spa retreat.

The home has a huge upstairs loft and a large office space downstairs. The upstairs loft offers tons of extra space, so these areas can be used as bedrooms or converted to offices, game rooms, or entertaining areas.

Finally, the exterior of this home invites adventure, ease, and endless exploration. Situated on over an acre in a gated community, this home not only has spectacular views but also offers access to five fishing lakes, a clubhouse, a firepit, plus a public beach and boathouse.

If ever you dreamed of escaping the city and setting your sights on East Texas, this is your affordable opportunity.
