Built from the ground up in 2012 (except for the front facade), this home reflects an open floor plan desired in contemporary times. A wall of glass bathes the foyer and provides natural light in the dining room. The living room’s large picture window flanked by two casement windows nourishes both plants and humans with natural light and fresh air. Floating shelves on the opposite wall provide space for treasured objects d’art. At one end of the kitchen is all the nuts and bolts…modern appliances and an extra-large island with pull up seating. At the other end is an area for your imagination…an eat-in kitchen or cushy seating. A room behind a pocket door off the kitchen contains functions for the laundry, pantry with open shelving and a true mud room. The three downstairs bedrooms reside on the back side of the house. The ensuite master boasts a large footprint with casement windows, a walk-in closet and a full bath that utilizes pocket doors to maximize space. Tucked away on the second story, the home was enlarged with an east-facing bedroom, living room and full bath. All guest rooms have walk-in closets. Comfort is controlled by a three-zoned heating/cooling system. Outdoor living is accessed from four locations: a path to a side gate with glass-like windows, a door in the kitchen that steps down under the pergola, an entry from the mudroom and a door in a guest room leading to the screened porch at the back of the home. The private, courtyard-like area in the side yard boasts a generous dining area, a firepit and raised garden beds. PICTURES TELL THE FULL STORY! Home is located near park (1 block) with playscape, pools & sport court. Nature preserve with play ground and trails is within walking distance as is the large fenced dog park. To top it off, the low tax rate does not include Austin city taxes.
