Summary:
Charming is the best word to describe both this home and the city of Garland. It’s the perfect place to experience all that Texas has to offer. Full of both history and modern attractions, you’ll have a perfectly well-rounded stay. This home is an excellent spot to rest in between your fun-filled days. And the fun doesn’t have to stop, y’all! Keep it going by jumping in your very own pool. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, it’s the ideal accommodation for a family or group of friends.
The Space:
Our home caters to both short term and medium term stays, making it an excellent choice for corporate housing needs. Whether you find yourself temporarily displaced from your home or require accomodations for your team during an extended project in our area, we provide a welcoming and comfortable "home away from home" experience.
Let us introduce you to your home away from home during your stay in Texas. You'll truly be able to relax in the coziness of this superb spacious home. As charming and functional on the outside as the inside, there is a beautiful front lawn and a covered garage that can fit 2 cars. The home features brand new flooring all throughout and a bright, open-concept layout. You’ll have plenty of room to sleep in the 4 bedrooms with lovely furniture and comfy linens. Beautiful tiles cover the 2 full bathrooms, one with a standing shower and one with a tub shower.
The perfect place to gather as a group will be in the large living area by the fireplace. Lounge on the luxurious furniture as you reminisce, make plans, play games, or just chit-chat. The living room opens up to a formal dining area and a gorgeous, bright kitchen with a stunning quartz countertop, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinets to store your snacks. Whether you’re having takeout or cooking up a meal, you’ll have everything you need in the fully loaded kitchen.
Finally, having saved the best for last, let’s talk about that amazing backyard. The large pool will keep you cool and provide hours of fun. The yard has a covered patio area and is completely fenced-in to allow you the utmost privacy. There is also lots of patio seating all around so that you can chill poolside, catch some rays, or cozy up with a book. It’s your trip, do whatever your heart desires!
