If you’ve been waiting for a home that turns heads and feels just as good as it looks — this is it. Set on a nearly half-acre corner lot in Southwest Austin, with a cornfield stretching beside you and a park just across the street, the setting alone makes this home special. It’s the kind of place where sunsets feel richer and mornings are a little quieter. The exterior is bold, modern, and completely refreshed with top-of-the-line materials. A new roof (2023), new siding, fascia, soffits, gutters, and exterior recessed lighting (2024), along with fresh landscaping (2025), mean this home doesn’t just show well — it truly stands out. Step inside to 9-foot ceilings and a light-filled, open-concept layout that instantly feels welcoming. Natural light pours into the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a bright, inviting space perfect for everyday living and unforgettable gatherings. Just off the kitchen, you’ll appreciate the seamless flow to the laundry room, half bath, and garage — thoughtfully designed for real life. And the garage? A true standout. With three stalls, abundant storage racks, and an RV parking pad alongside, there’s room for all your toys, tools, and hobbies. The main floor offers three bedrooms, including a relaxing primary suite designed to be your private retreat. Unwind in the jetted tub or refresh in the tiled shower — the perfect way to end the day. Downstairs, the finished basement provides incredible additional living space. A massive family room with oversized egress windows fills the area with natural light, making it ideal for movie nights, game days, and holidays. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer flexibility for guests, teens, or a home office setup. This isn’t just a house — it’s the lifestyle upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
