August 20, 2026

This house has loads of potential! Nice acreage with it and the ponds look pretty! The house was built in 1920. It is located on ten acres in Centerville, Texas. The house definitely needs some work, but it looks livable so someone could move in and work room by room. The house features a spacious kitchen wood floors, crown moulding, bead board and baseboards. They are calling the bodies of water, lakes, but they look more like ponds to me. One of the ponds is stocked! Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,300 square feet. $315,000
