Description

This is a GREAT investment property!! Huge 8 bd/ 3.5 ba multi-residence home in convenient Harvey location! With two separate units and plenty of room for living, this house is one you won't want to miss. Entering through the mutual foyer and taking a right, you're brought into a single bedroom and bath configuration with a nice, open kitchen. With wood cabinets, black countertops and room for a breakfast nook, the kitchen then flows onward seamlessly to a living area with great natural light. A bonus room is located just off the living area, perfect for a home office. The bedroom and bath are located off the kitchen, completing the cozy apartment. Heading back out into the foyer and across the hall, you can enter the other unit, where you're brought into the open concept kitchen, with a remodeled bathroom with granite vanity and shower/tub combo just off the entryway. The kitchen is equipped with black cabinets, laminate flooring and has plenty of room for a table and chairs for mealtime. The path flows onward to the living area, with the primary bedroom with built-ins right off the main kitchen area.
