MilitaryByOwner Listing MBO1454647
For Sale: $297,000
Just three miles from Fort Hood, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom property offers a quick commute to post.
The brick exterior and pretty landscaping make a charming first impression. Inside, you’ll find a few fun additions like the French door entrance to the study, the shiplap half bathroom, and the sliding barn door to the second pantry.
You’ll find multiple separate living spaces: a formal living room when you enter the home, a dining room, and an informal living room down the hallway. This informal living space features a fireplace and connects to the kitchen’s eat-in area offering French door access to the backyard.
The kitchen is complete with a custom ceramic tile floor, an updated backsplash, center island, dining bar, and a new gas oven/stove with convection oven option and vent hood. It also has (drumroll please) a deep double basin sink and a new (quiet) garbage disposal, touch faucet, and a stainless steel dishwasher — it’s so quiet that you might not even know it’s running. You’ll also find not one, but two pantries, a desk area, plenty of storage space, and a skylight.
The large master suite features a bay window, his and hers closets, and a newly remodeled bathroom complete with a garden tub and a walk-in shower.
While the interior offers any number of reasons to commit to this property, perhaps the largest selling point is the in-ground pool out back. This outdoor living space offers the best way to beat the Texas heat!
But looks aren’t everything. There are a couple of key ingredients to this property that make it low maintenance: the wood vinyl flooring throughout, the sprinkler system, energy-efficient A/C unit, and recently installed premium dimensional roof point towards stress-free homeownership.
Bonus: the three-car garage creates space to store extra belongings, create a workspace, or a home gym!
