Tucked away in magical Manchaca, just 15 miles from downtown Austin, 1004 Mockingbird Drive is the epitome of Texas Hill Country living in the city. Nestled on over a half acre (with no HOA!), under a canopy of mature Cedar Elm trees, this beautiful ranch style home features original terrazzo floors, tall cathedral ceilings and an inviting open floor plan. Recently updated with a BRAND NEW aerobic septic system (fully permitted - 11/2023), this residence is turn key. Walk through the front door and immediately fall in love with the bright, airy and incredibly spacious living area featuring wood floors, an original stone, wood burning fireplace, and huge picture windows looking out to the lush green yard creating a serene backdrop for the space. Seamlessly flowing from the main living area into the heart of the home, the kitchen has been recently updated with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry providing ample storage, a large undermount farmhouse sink, and granite countertops. The primary bedroom is generously sized and includes an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, large vanity and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms are located on the opposite end of the home and share a full, updated bathroom. Step outside to the expansive backyard and discover a peaceful oasis perfect for outdoor gatherings. Have a seat, stay awhile & listen closely - you'll hear native birds singing you a song or even grant a visit from the local deer. The home is perfectly situated to enjoy a peaceful day from sunrise to sundown - have a cup of coffee as you watch sunrises on the front porch and dinners al fresco watching the sunset on the rear patio. City convenience meets Hill Country charm! Located 1.5 miles from the local hike and bike trail, minutes to local food trucks and right off TX 45 with easy access to Mopac, enjoy the perfect blend of tranquil countryside living and quick drive to the city.
