Completing the first floor is a convenient half bathroom and an oversized laundry area that can double as a mudroom or workspace. Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom with an updated ensuite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and another full bathroom. The upstairs balcony provides the perfect spot to enjoy a warm or cool beverage during Austin's wonderful evenings. The beautifully landscaped backyard is accessible through the dining or laundry area. Here, you'll find a large tree-filled backyard that's perfect for hours of play, complete with respite from the sun. Other previous updates to this home include double pane windows with retractable screens, an A/C unit, a new roof, water heater, and switches wired for home automation. Located in a highly walkable neighborhood, this home is just down the street from St. Edwards, numerous coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, including Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden where you can enjoy live music on the weekends. As a reminder, the buyer should verify all information. Don't miss your chance to make this stunning home yours!
