Welcome to this beautifully maintained, lock-and-leave home in a South Austin community nestled among mature shade trees, with charming curb appeal and a two-car garage.

Inside, the desirable floor plan places the primary bedroom downstairs for everyday convenience, with a second living area or loft upstairs that works equally well as a study or playroom.

High ceilings in the family room create an open, airy feel, while fresh interior paint, new carpet, and luxury vinyl plank flooring give the home a fresh, modern look. The kitchen with an island, stainless steel appliances including a new dishwasher, granite counters, and a corner pantry opens to the family room, so it's easy to stay connected to the conversation. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, and the ensuite bath offers a double vanity and an oversized walk-in shower.

Outside, the backyard is expansive and shaded by mature trees with stone-bordered beds, giving it a parklike feel with plenty of room to entertain or simply relax in the shade. Solar panels add energy efficiency and help lower utility bills. Best of all, the low-maintenance lifestyle means no yard work, since HOA fees cover mowing and irrigation.

The location is hard to beat. Sprouts grocery store, Casa Garcia, and other restaurants are just blocks away, and the Menchaca Entertainment District, a growing nightlife and social corridor along South Menchaca Road, is only a few miles south. With easy access to I-35 and Mopac and less than 8 miles to Downtown Austin, this home puts you close to everything.
