3181 Berger Rd
About this property
Modern barndominium living on almost 11 unrestricted acres just outside Temple. This 4 bed / 3 baths custom build pairs the durability of steel construction with finishes you'd expect in a much pricier home. Step through the black five-lite entry doors into a wide-open great room anchored by a stained shiplap tray ceiling and an oversized fan. A floor-to-ceiling black shiplap fireplace wall with a live-edge mantel and mounted TV creates a natural gathering point, while polished concrete floors run seamlessly throughout with no carpet, no upkeep, easy on boots and paws alike. The kitchen is built for people who actually cook. Natural alder shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, a white picket-tile backsplash, gas range with pot filler, vent hood, and a rare pairing of a full-size built-in refrigerator alongside a full-size freezer. Two dishwashers. A generous island with stone top and seating for two opens directly to a dining space that comfortably seats eight under a linear crystal chandelier. Bedrooms are quiet and well-proportioned with ceiling fans, blackout treatments, and the same continuous concrete floors. Black interior doors and crisp white trim carry the palette through the entire home. Outside, a deep covered porch wraps the front for shaded evenings, and an attached open-air pavilion gives you covered parking, equipment storage, or room to entertain. A separate metal shop sits just off the drive that has endless possibilities. Mature trees line the property, an improved gravel drive runs to the county road, and the land opens to pasture and Central Texas sky. Home also has 2 RV Electrical and Septic hook ups. Minutes to I-35, an easy run to Temple, Belton, and Baylor Scott & White — with none of the city on top of you. Schedule your showing today!
