House For Sale By Owner near Ft. Sill, Oklahoma

The house was completed Oct' '05, and sits on a .67 acre lot on a quite street. It is 1604 sq feet, but a nice open design with 10 ft ceilings, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, a study, fireplace, and a huge walk-in closet in the master bedroom. The master bath has a shower and a whirlpool tub. It has custom wood cabinetry, nice tile and closed loop carpet.

I have added a 6 person storm shelter, a very large RV/ Boat/Trailer parking with a 50 amp 230 volt outlet and hook-ups, a 10 X 20 steel shed with floor, anchored for wind resistance to 100 mph.

The entire lot is seeded with drought resistant Bermuda grass, and I have planted over 20 trees, including apple, cherry, plum, pear, apricot and nectarine. I have two mature rose gardens with patent roses that bloom magnificently, a rough hewn rock path around the back, and timed low-voltage landscape lighting front and rear. Other borders are planted with shrubs, box bush, or juniper. The landscaping is attractive and low maintenance.

The city of Elgin has about 2000 people, and is 13 miles north-east from Ft Sill on I-44. There is a nice grocery store, pharmacy, various restaurants, and a couple discount stores. Schools are within 3 blocks, with a brand new high school due to open in Aug '09. The new BAE factory is expected to open by 2010, and so the area should continue to grow and maintain good real estate value. The house is within city limits, and so has city water and garbage, with the water bill never exceeding $65 during watering months. The house is all-electric, and power bills in summer or winter never exceed $165. Every room is wired for cable, and currently I use Dish Network.
