About This Home
Welcome home. 512 Bandera Drive is where a true custom home builder brings his craftsmanship to new construction. Built by Akins Construction Inc, a builder known for primarily custom homes, this property showcases a level of quality, materials, and attention to detail rarely found in typical new builds. The exterior features cement board siding with premium exterior paint, beautifully accented by stonework, architectural rooflines, and a cedar privacy fence. An engineered foundation with soil testing for expansion provides long-term peace of mind, while a full sprinkler system is already in place. The lawn features a thick, premium grass. Inside, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, along with a thoughtfully designed layout that blends function and comfort. The main living area features vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. The open-concept design flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining areas, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A dedicated office with a built-in desk adds flexibility for work or study. Upstairs, you’ll find additional living space, perfect for a game room or second lounge, along with one of the full bathrooms and a bedroom with a walk-in-closet, making it ideal for guests or multi-generational living.. The home is beautifully trimmed throughout with one-of-a-kind crown stops for the transitions in the elevations, adding a custom finish rarely seen in new construction. Additional features include soft-close, stain-grade white hard maple cabinetry in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and coffee nook; custom-built closets; motion-sensor closets; a plumbing manifold system; open-cell spray foam insulation in the roof and exterior walls; and an additional attic sub-panel with room for future expansion. If this home isn’t the perfect fit, Akins Construction Inc offers the ability to build your dream home with the same quality and true craftsmanship showcased here.
