About this rental

This classic 1950 build is tucked away in a corner of Crestview and is walking distance to the Crestview train/bus station, the Crestview Center, and Brentwood Elementary. Owner/ agent spent 2 years stripping it to the studs and rebuilding it, all permited and inspected work with an Architect and Structural engineers help. TWO additions were built- one on the front and one on the back. The house was fully rewired, replumbed including all underground gas lines, reinsulated with highly energy efficient spray foam insulation. The floorplan was reconfigured and the whole roof structure rebuilt to a steeper pitch, skylights added, and the ceilings valuted and beamed. New insulated low E windows, levelor blinds, new sheetrock, recessed lghting EVERYWHERE is all LED, new shed and privacy fence built, high efficiency staged Carrier HVAC system and an energy efficient mini split on the added on home office- which also has a separate entrance. Lovely Minka Air ceiling fans with LED light in every room. There is a garage apartment behind it but the lot is 1/3rd acre so each has a sizable private yard , and electricity is separately metered. Since it was initially rebuilt, the gas stove, dishwasher and washer /dryer ( all LG) were replaced as well as a top of the line Navien gas tankless on demand water heater. Kitchenaid stainless french door fridge with bottom freezer and icemaker. Commercial range hood vented to outside. The interior was just freshly repainted. Beautiful oak hardwood floors through the living room and all 3 bedrooms. In spite of being adjacent to the electric train, you can BARELY hear the train when it passes. Long term tenants in the B house are very nice neighbors. 2 off street parking spaces. Privacy fenced yard with HUGE pecan and sycamore trees , custom built shed for storage. MOVE IN READY . Pets OK with one time non refundable $350 pet fee each.
