About this home

Tucked away near River Place’s scenic nature trails, this elegant single-story retreat brings together refined interiors and a beautiful connection to the outdoors. Abundant natural light create an airy, welcoming atmosphere in the spacious family room, where built-in bookshelves and a gas fireplace lend warmth and character. The open layout invites effortless entertaining, flowing into an exquisitely updated kitchen with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, SS appliances, a center island, and thoughtfully integrated built-ins. Privately positioned within the split-bedroom floor plan, the generous primary suite overlooks the lush backyard and scenic greenbelt. Its spacious bath offers dual vanities, a jetted tub with updated jacuzzi spouts, a separate shower, and a large walk-in closet—a restful setting to begin and end your day. Secondary bedrooms provide flexibility for welcoming overnight guests or creating an inspiring home office. Step outside to your own garden retreat, where lush landscaping softens the patio and updated wrought iron fencing opens the view to the natural beauty beyond. Picture dinner beneath the evening sky, a quiet afternoon with a favorite book, or simply unwinding to the sounds of nature. A new roof (2026) brings added peace of mind, while the HVAC system replaced in 2024 provides year-round comfort. Other notable updates include a refinished primary bath countertop and shower pan, new bedroom window shades, a monitored alarm system, driveway leveling, exterior painting and new garage door openers. With Sun Tree Park, Woodlands Park, scenic hiking trails, and RPCC and golf course nearby, recreation is woven into daily life. River Place Elementary is within walking or biking distance, with zoning to Four Points Middle School and Vandegrift High School. Nearby shopping and dining, along w/ access to Lake Travis, The Domain, & Downtown Austin, complete a lifestyle as connected as it is serene.
