At 2701 Covington Place in Round Rock's Behrens Ranch community, the real magic happens in the backyard. This 4,131-square-foot Meritage home sits on a corner lot with mature trees towering over 40 feet tall, creating the kind of established landscape where neighborhood kids naturally congregate. The covered rear porch opens onto a private yard designed for what matters most - grilling season, weekend games, and the kind of gatherings that become family stories.
The outdoor space features a newer privacy fence, automatic sprinkler system, and enough square footage on the 0.24-acre lot to accommodate serious entertaining. Picture the gas cooktop situation here - the kitchen's professional-grade setup with stainless steel appliances and granite counters flows directly to that covered porch, making the grill-to-table setup seamless for anyone who cooks outdoors. The family room's soaring coffered ceilings and travertine flooring mean rain-or-shine entertaining happens naturally inside and out. A swim spa with customizable lighting sits in that manicured landscape - not just a luxury, but the centerpiece for summer afternoons and evening relaxation.
Inside, the home supports the entertaining lifestyle. The game room upstairs handles the competitive crowd. The media room with tiered seating keeps everyone content during off-season months. The main floor office with French doors becomes the beer station during parties, and the kitchen island with breakfast area lets guests sprawl naturally while you manage the grill. Four bedrooms and 3.5 baths mean overnight visitors don't strain the setup.
Location matters for a gathering house. Round Rock ISD serves the property through Cactus Ranch Elementary, Walsh Middle, and Round Rock High School. The Williamson County tax rate sits at 1.7993, keeping more money for what you actually want to spend it on - like hosting. Minutes from Round Rock parks and trail systems, this corner lot on Covington Place puts you near enough to town amenities but far enough back to feel genuinely private when friends are over.
Built in 2002, the home carries a newer roof, updated HVAC controls, and solid construction that means less time troubleshooting and more time using that outdoor space. At $228 per square foot, this is where backyard entertaining stops being a weekend project and becomes your home's primary function.
