About This Home

Welcome to the dream home you've been waiting for! This beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath home is located in Austin, where there is a lot of new construction and commercial development happening. This is one of the hottest pockets in the city! Step inside to a welcoming entryway that leads to an open and airy floor plan designed for both comfortable living and entertaining. The 9' ceilings give a grand feel, while the bright and spacious family room features tons of natural light, a feature wall with a built-in fireplace, and LED lighting. The renovated kitchen features white shaker cabinets, crown molding with LED lighting, quartz countertops, and a bold tile backsplash. The first floor offers 1 bedroom and a full bathroom. Head upstairs where you'll find 4 additional bedrooms, a shared full bathroom, and a primary suite with a vaulted ceiling and an attached bathroom. Each bathroom features hand-selected finishes, creating a unique look that is far from your typical cookie-cutter rehab. The home also includes a full unfinished basement, perfect for storage or bringing your own design ideas to life.
