Tucked out of the way beneath vast Texas skies sits this single-storey home that makes for the perfect getaway with friends and family. Set less than a ten-minute drive from downtown Dayton and under forty-five minutes from the cultural melting pot of Houston, there's plenty to explore nearby, despite the off-the-beaten-track location. Step over the threshold of this immaculate home, and you'll immediately be wowed by the welcoming open-plan layout and stylish decor. A consistent black and gold theme runs through the communal areas. Some elements are even carried through to the individually decorated bedrooms, where gold accents and ornate chandeliers lend a luxurious feel to bedtime. Head outside, and you'll find a covered seating area ideal for grilling up gourmet offerings out of the heat of the summer sun, while there's also a fully equipped on-site gym where you can keep up with your usual workout routine – if that's your thing.
