This one-of-a-kind home, built in 2007, offers unmatched peace of mind and thoughtful design. Created in collaboration with the Texas Tech Wind Engineering Department and certified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this home was built to stand strong against severe weather. Featured on Discovery Channel's Tornado Week in 2008, it boasts insulated concrete form (ICF) exterior walls reinforced with rebar, a 3-foot-deep concrete perimeter foundation, and a 6x3 master closet tornado shelter sealed with a vault door. Nearly fully ADA accessible, it offers safety and comfort for all. Set on a double lot just under half an acre, the home sits on a quiet street with only one neighboring property—enjoy privacy with easy access to Loop 289 and the Marsha Sharp Freeway. This home offers smart upgrades and modern conveniences, including surround sound wiring in the living room, a MyQ smart garage opener with newly replaced springs, and upgraded exterior door hardware with Kwikset SmartKey deadbolts. The dishwasher is just one year old, and bathroom faucets were replaced in December. Additional thoughtful features include metal soffit and fascia for low-maintenance durability, rain gutters, and a large fenced backyard perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or play. To help maintain the spacious yards, the seller will also leave a ride-on lawn mower, a push mower, a gas trimmer, and an electric trimmer. This is more than a home—it's a fortress of comfort and security. Don't miss the chance to own something truly special!
