Property Description


0.25 Acres Lot
Built in 1973
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

$10,000 price drop, updates and a strategic location. This roomy ranch is a find! Major systems have been completely updated—including much plumbing updated, premium HVAC, and a 50-year roof. The expanded kitchen handles everything from weeknight dinners to weekend entertaining with ease. Featuring beautiful butcher block counters, gas range, wine storage, and an oversized pantry/laundry combo that keeps daily essentials organized and out of sight. Once a fourth bedroom, there is a bespoke closet for the primary bedroom with moody, styling dark green paint and stylish custom storage. Can convert to bedroom, office, or whatever your life demands.The generous front room with floor-to-ceiling built-ins provides elegant dining or living space. The private primary suite is positioned away from main living areas with a view to the park-like backyard, complete with spa-like ensuite featuring dual vanities, soaking tub, and luxurious double rainhead shower. The mature tree-shaded backyard offers privacy and room to play—perfect for relaxing as-is or adding your personal touches like raised beds or a pool. This gem of a location means you don’t have to mess with parking and can walk to Q2 Stadium for games. Quick drive to 183, 35, MoPac and the Domain. The best of both worlds: peaceful residential living with quick access to dining, entertainment, and city amenities. This home delivers comfort, convenience, and location without the project list. Note: lights in the living/dining space are not currently dimmable due to inactive wifi service.
