These reasons and more are why rental homes in Harker Heights are in the spotlight for MilitaryByOwner’s homes of the week!
There’s so much to love about this home! The hard to come by features are all there! Wide open living spaces, an abundance of natural light, and a neutral color palette all give way to a renter’s dream. No time consuming cosmetic upgrades needed here, just unpack, kick back, and begin to enjoy Texas living.
Not only does the house offer updates like a new covered patio and luxury laminate flooring, the location in Skipcha Mountain Estates can’t be beat. Local shopping and coveted restaurants are just minutes away. Plus, highly sought after schools are within walking distance, as is plenty of green space to play, yet the property provides plenty of privacy and quiet.
More than 2,500 square feet gives the home a spacious feel. The complete package offers easy to maintain landscaping complete with a lovely shade tree and more than one option for outdoor entertaining.
Writing “a home with a view” doesn’t even begin to serve this property justly. There are multiple gorgeous views to choose from! Still House Lake is within sight through several windows and from a patio perfect for enjoying the scenery. Lakeview at the Ridge is a most fitting neighborhood name.
The property’s elevation provides a bonus not many in the area can claim: a predictable southerly breeze ushering pleasant air streaming from the lake. Enjoy many lakeside amenities without the upkeep of a lake home.
Fifteen minutes seems to be the magic number around here. You can bank on this kind of commute not only to the main gate of Fort Hood, but Texas A&M University Central Texas, and dozens of the shops and food outlets you’d prefer. Tack on five more minutes and you’ll arrive at Scott & White Hospital in Temple. Location indeed!
Four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms allow for plenty of space for a family to spread out and relax. It also means family and friends have a place to call home, but only temporarily! A formal dining room, breakfast area, family room, and a large kitchen outfitted with an island provide plenty of opportunity for family time.
Single floor living has its perks, no doubt. The ease of moving in and out without stairs can’t be beat. For those who prefer a ranch style home that's move-in ready, this one's for you.
The highlights of this home are the entertaining spaces. Let's start with the the back patio. A tiled lanai awaits your family and friends to sit back take in multi-season evenings spent outside. And, a mounted ceiling fan keeps the temps comfortable during long stretches of Texas heat. Approved pets are safe within the fenced back yard.
Inside, a two-sided fireplace provides all the cozy you’ll ever need during the cooler months. The ambiance is perfect for tailgate parties and holiday gatherings. The fireplace pulls double duty providing an eye-catching focal point as well as the separation of two living spaces.
A family-friendly bedroom floor plan keeps parents nearby, perfect for those with young children. In the kitchen, plenty of mornings of served cereal await kids in the breakfast nook. Last, but not least, the whole family will enjoy a short walk to the community park and pool.
If your idea of a perfect home includes an abundance of space and storage, look no more. The square footage of the house is nearly 3,500 sf and includes 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. All of the bedrooms are large with walk-in closets and have adjoining bathrooms. A second living space is upstairs. It's an exceptional solution for housing a playroom or providing a bit of privacy for older kids.
The master suite sits alone downstairs and provides a hidden oasis feel. It's completed by an ample walk-in closet, dual sinks, separate commode, and separate shower and tub.
As for storage, if you need more beyond the walk-in closets and 42” kitchen and laundry room cabinets, then head to the attic above the garage and the space under the stairs. There is plenty of room for all of your treasures. All of these storage solutions are in addition to the two-car garage.
As a bonus, the homeowner has included lawn service in the rent price.
