About This Home

This spacious and newly-renovated 3 bed / 1.5 bath home combines comfort and convenience. A short walk gets you to Baltimore Ave restaurants/shopping, public transportation or the Cedar Park area. Featuring attractive hardwood floors throughout, the bright open-plan living area flows into a modern kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet space, and sleek countertops. Central air provides year-round climate control and first floor washer and dryer offer added convenience. Each of the three bedrooms boasts natural light and generous closet space. The freshly updated bathroom includes stylish tile flooring and a full bathtub. An additional half bathroom is in the clean and painted basement, which offers extra storage or the perfect space for hobbies and projects. Cats okay, but no dogs (sorry). No cat fees/deposit. Tenant pays all utilities (based on usage).
