On a three-quarter acre, park-like lot on the banks of Elm Creek, this traditional, single-story home with an updated ranch-style floorplan is designed for convenience and comfort.  Large formal living room across the front of the home provide ample space for dining and formal entertaining with access to a galley kitchen with breakfast area, white cabinets, six-burner gas range, and stainless appliances. The den serves as the center of the home and both the kitchen and den are oriented to the covered patio and backyard beyond. A second living area is off the kitchen and has generous storage and shelving plus a half bath.  The bedrooms are split into two wings - two share a hall bath off the den, a third bedroom is oriented to the rear of the homes with large ensuite bath, and a fourth bedroom with ensuite bath and double closests off the kitchen would make an ideal in-law suite.  The large, turfed backyard is impressive with two poultry coops, swing set (which stays) and storage building.  A household with multiple vehicles would appreciate the two-car, detached garage and concrete drive on the side with circular driveway in the front. This is a well-built, well-designed home in the Austin Elementary school district.
