Two for the price of one. This is a super cute property with a three bedroom one and a half bath main house that has an oversized two car garage. Detached from the main house is a really large 'casita' (676 sq ft) with a full kitchen, large bedroom and bath. Truly, this place has so many extras it's hard to describe it. You'll love the screened in porch and the landscaping. Both the home and casita have metal roofs, and it's in a quiet location yet close to the expressway in Brownsville. It has been lovingly owned and cared for by the same owners for 57 years. The property is being sold in 'as is' condition. What a great place this would make for a multi-generational family, or the casita could be used as a large office for those who work from home. Both dwellings have handicap accessible bathrooms. All appliances are included. The casita even has its own carport that can be accessed through a separate gate allowing privacy. It's quite the package for $199,000.
