Description

BRAND NEW ROOF! Tucked into a vibrant, nature-filled pocket of the city, this well-maintained home blends thoughtful improvements, energy efficiency, and everyday comfort with a truly special outdoor setting. Since 2019, the owners have completed extensive updates including house-wide electrical improvements (with USB and tamper-resistant outlets), restored HVAC registers, annual HVAC servicing, new blinds and carpet, added insulation and subflooring in the flex space, a new garage door mechanism with keypad, new gutters, fencing, and Google Fiber access for seamless connectivity. Both bathrooms feature matching porcelain and brushed nickel Kohler fixtures, while the primary shower has been beautifully renovated with tile, dual showerheads, a niche, and sliding glass door. The living room offers soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace (with gas service available) alongside regular chimney maintenance. The kitchen is functional and inviting with expanded cabinetry, refreshed paint, and accessible gas connections, while thoughtful additions like under-stair storage, a lofted second floor, and a full two-car garage make the home both practical and flexible. Energy-efficient features including solar panels, tight double-hung windows replaced in 2019, and a strong-performing HVAC system help keep utility costs low year-round. Outdoors, a majestic live oak estimated to be over 100 years old anchors a private backyard retreat where fireflies glow in spring, stars shine brightly at night, and native landscaping creates a peaceful habitat for birds, butterflies, and even screech owls. Located near parks, trail systems, and just a short walk to both Goat Cave Karst Preserve and Whirlpool Cave, plus easy access to the Violet Crown Trail leading to destinations like Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and Barton Springs Pool, this home offers a rare combination of community, convenience, and natural beauty. A light-filled space with character, privacy, and room to grow.
