A Rare Untouched Canvas - Mid-Century Brick Ranch Ready for Your Vision, Just Outside Andrews. Opportunities like this don't come along often. This single-story brick ranch, built in 1961, has been lovingly cared for and remarkably preserved -- and now it's ready for a new owner to blend timeless mid-century bones with the modern conveniences of today. If you've been searching for a home with real character and untapped potential, one that hasn't been stripped of its original charm by decades of remodels, this is it. Step inside and you'll immediately sense the quality of a home built to last. The original cabinetry and hardware remain fully intact, offering a wonderful foundation to restore, refinish, or thoughtfully update to suit your taste -- whether you choose to preserve the authentic mid-century aesthetic or reimagine the space with a fresh, modern palette. The bathrooms retain their delightfully original tile work and period-correct colored sinks and toilets, a rare survival that mid-century enthusiasts will appreciate and that offers a fantastic starting point for a stylish renovation that honors the home's roots. The master bath's standout feature -- a very cool sunken shower/tub -- is a unique architectural detail worth preserving and building a refreshed design around. This home represents that increasingly rare find: a well-maintained original that hasn't been altered, giving you full creative control to update systems, finishes, and fixtures exactly the way you want, rather than paying to undo someone else's dated renovation. Solid brick construction and a functional single-story ranch floor plan mean you're investing in good structure and easy living, with the freedom to modernize room by room, on your own timeline and budget. Outside, the possibilities continue. A large connected garage offers space for vehicles, a workshop, or storage for projects and hobbies. The yard is a true asset -- grassy, well-established, and shaded by mature trees, with a garden shed ready for tools, equipment, or a future she-shed or studio conversion. Set on a generous .66 acres just outside Andrews city limits, you'll enjoy the elbow room and privacy of a larger lot while still benefiting from the convenience of city water and sewer infrastructure -- a combination that's increasingly hard to find and one that simplifies any future renovation plans considerably.
