Property Description


0.39 Acres Lot
Built in 1956
Under Contract
Units n/a

This recently reimagined 2,927 sqft MCM ranch sits gracefully on a .386-acre corner lot in beloved Balcones Park where homes are treasured for generations. Here, you don't just buy a house, you join a legacy. The gourmet kitchen, a natural gathering place, spotlights commercial-grade built-in appliances, creamy custom cabinetry, an oversized butcher-block eat-in island, and dreamy seafoam subway tile framing granite countertops. It seamlessly connects the adjacent living spaces. A captivating marble fireplace flanked by built-ins transitions beautifully to tile floors then beyond to European wide plank hardwoods flowing throughout. A distinctive primary suite features two completely separate bathroom areas branching off a versatile bonus room adjoining the primary bedroom - a thoughtful design that honors privacy, personalized routines, and functionality. Dual amenities include separate toilets, walk-in closets, and vanities. One side offers a luxurious walk-in shower; the other features a cultured marble soaking tub and shower. This is everyday luxury! Three additional bedrooms (study can easily be converted to 3rd bedroom), renovated baths, and an expansive secondary light-filled living area and formal dining room make the flow of this home practical and easy. Plantation shutters and custom details honor the home's timeless architectural heritage. Recent smart upgrades include HVAC, water heater, flooring, lighting, secondary bathroom remodels, interior paint, and landscaping - ensuring a turn key move. Two outdoor patios framed by mature landscaping and masonry fencing create peaceful outdoor spaces that nourish the soul. Mere blocks from highly ranked Highland Park Elementary, Mount Bonnell's inspiring views, Mayfield Park, Laguna Gloria, Westwood Country Club, Lake Austin, and so much more. Just minutes to downtown Austin's energy, Q2 stadium and Domain convenience. Come explore this special property! This is where your next chapter begins.
