Description
This grand two-story southern home in Eagle Lake, Texas, has fallen into disrepair and been abandoned. But that’s the beauty of a fixer-upper—the potential to make it livable again, where a couple can live happily ever after, and their children and grandchildren can run and play on the balconies.
This house just needs a can or two of paint. A few repairs for these Corinthian columns. Imagine summers here in the shade of these beautiful oak trees. Yes, it needs some TLC, but think of the possibilities.
