Set on 1.27 acres just northwest of Garden Ridge, this phenomenal home offers privacy, thoughtful upgrades, and scenic surroundings with 4 bedrooms plus a dedicated office and 3.5 baths. Backing directly to the Bracken Cave Preserve, the property provides a peaceful backdrop with no rear neighbors.    The home features a functional and well-designed layout with hard flooring throughout the main level, including a combination of tile and hardwood, complemented by an earthy brownish-gray interior palette. Highlights include two spacious family areas, elegant crown molding, and arched interior openings that add architectural character throughout. The main level offers a private office, open-concept living, and a split-bedroom layout with the primary suite positioned for privacy. A side-entry 3-car attached garage adds convenience and enhances curb appeal. Major updates include a brand new class-3 shingle roof installed last year and a Trane HVAC system with heat pumps replaced 6-7 years ago.    The primary suite is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring high ceilings, direct access to the patio, and a luxurious ensuite bath with a garden tub, separate shower, and dual vanity. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, providing an efficient and family-friendly layout, while the remaining bedroom is located on the main level for added flexibility.    Outdoors, enjoy a true backyard retreat with a sparkling in-ground pool, pergola, and jacuzzi, all conveying with the property. The grounds are beautifully maintained with immaculate landscaping, additional stonework, and builder upgrades that enhance both curb appeal and usability. A rare opportunity to own a private, upgraded home on acreage directly abutting one of the area's most unique natural preserves.
