On one of the widest and most desirable streets in coveted Western Oaks, this custom one-story home was built by developer JW Smith, who proudly installed a name plaque on every home he built. This home features three large bedrooms, an additional private home office, huge family room, separate formal dining/flex room, as well as a large utility room off the main bedroom. Backing to a large greenbelt and protected green space not to be developed, it would be a challenge to find a home with as much privacy and space yet so close to everything you would ever want to enjoy in Austin. It is located conveniently less than 10 miles from Downtown Austin and quite literally around the corner from Costco, Whole Foods, and restaurant heaven. The property also has a long driveway and large garage with lots of storage space as well as a separate cooled shed big enough for a separate office space, craft barn, she-shed, or man cave. The options are endless. With over a third of an acre, the outdoor space is truly special with large oak trees, a spacious backyard perfect for parties or even to install a future custom pool. There is a large covered patio that includes a custom built bar as well as a BBQ/grill landing to enjoy the cooler autumn evenings. This ranch-style home has been meticulously maintained by the same owners for the last 30+ years with a new HVAC installation in 2022 and a durable stone coated metal roof for long-term protection. The grounds have been manicured for years and have lots of native plants and flowers to enjoy for years to come. Sale of home includes landscaping plans to identify all species. This neighborhood is known for its top-tier amenities that include underground utilities, a newly remodeled pool and playground with a party pavilion, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Neighborhood also sponsors a summer swim team for the neighborhood children ages 6-18.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
