Tucked at the end of a quiet street, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Odessa retreat sits on 1.51 ACRES with AGRICULTURAL ZONING, giving you the space and freedom to truly make it yours. Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open, airy layout make the home feel welcoming from the moment you step through the door. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and counter space and opens naturally to the dining and living areas, while a wet bar makes hosting friends and family easy. Two bedrooms are conveniently located downstairs, including one with an ensuite cabana bath, creating an ideal setup for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like its own retreat, complete with a balcony overlooking the backyard. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, each with its own private vanity. Outside is where everyday life starts to feel like a vacation. The fully fenced backyard surrounds a HEATED SALTWATER POOL AND SPA, while gorgeous oak trees and mature greenery create a beautiful natural backdrop and added privacy from neighboring homes. There is plenty of room for weekend cookouts, pets, gardening, animals, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of your own little escape.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
