Beneath the canopy of a majestic heritage oak, this Western Trails hidden gem offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and convenience in the heart of South Austin. Just minutes from downtown and the airport, it’s walkable to neighborhood favorites like Central Market, Cork & Brew, and Joslin Neighborhood Park. Inside, the single-story layout offers three bedrooms, two baths, two living areas, and a dedicated office/bonus room. The open main living space combines the family room, dining area, and kitchen into one welcoming hub. Vaulted ceilings, wood-look floors, and the glow of a limestone fireplace anchor the space. A second living room, framed by two sets of French doors, opens to the back deck, a perfect spot for watching the weather roll in or Williamson Creek come alive after the rain. The office is designed to inspire, wrapped in windows that bring the outdoors in, while the primary suite includes its own en suite bath and a walk-in closet generous enough to feel like another room. In 2019, the home underwent significant efficiency upgrades through the Austin Energy Efficiency Program, including a new HVAC system, duct work, insulation, and water heater, providing modern comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Out back, the property feels worlds away from the city thanks to the creek at its edge and the expansive deck shaded by mature trees, a peaceful perch to watch the sun set through the trees or wildlife wander by. With .42 acres, direct creek access, and single-family zoning that preserves the neighborhood’s character, this lot is one of the best in Western Trails. It’s a private, nature-filled retreat with unbeatable convenience to everything Austin has to offer. Buyer to verify all info.
