This cozy home is a wonderful opportunity for first-time buyers looking for a comfortable and affordable home, or for UTRGV attendees or investors looking to add a rental property to their portfolio. It is in an established neighborhood of homes with large yards and mature trees near Cenizo Park's shady walking trails, the UTRGV Campus, South Middle School, and HEB on Closner. Original hardwood floors adorn the living area, and have been protected underneath carpet for years, ready to be refinished. Other rooms can be updated with new carpet or flooring. The roomy kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, making it perfect for everyday cooking or entertaining. Appliances convey. Create your dream outdoor space on the oversized lot. It measures 10,000 square feet, has a rear-entry alley and provides ample room to park a boat. A detached garage and tool closet add practical functionality.
