This East Austin home just feels good. A few houses down from the entrance to Red Bluff Nature Preserve, you’re steps from hiking trails that wind through the trees and lead to one of the best skyline views in town. And when you're not out exploring, this house makes it easy to settle in. Pull into the oversized driveway—plenty of space for your vehicles, projects, or your rv. A front porch spans the width of the house—perfect for catching the breeze, sipping something cold, or just watching the world go by. Inside, it’s bright and open, with tile and laminate flooring throughout (updated in 2021). The living area is comfortable and easygoing, flowing right into the kitchen, which was completely remodeled in 2021. The custom-built cherrywood countertops and open shelving make the space feel warm and lived-in, and the Clay Imports floor and backsplash tile add just the right amount of personality. This is where everyone gathers—whether it’s for morning coffee, impromptu dance parties, or a late-night snack that turns into a deep conversation. The primary suite is on the main floor, giving you a little space to yourself, complete with an ensuite bath and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, 3 more bedrooms offer flexibility—room for guests, a home office, or hobbies. And since Texas summers aren’t messing around, the entire AC system was replaced in 2024, so you can stay cool without worrying about a thing. Out back, the yard is all native perennials and trees. A flat, shaded area has been a chicken run, a fire pit hangout, and could easily become home to a cowboy pool. It’s the kind of backyard that’s ready for whatever you’ve got planned. And then there’s the neighborhood. A 15-minute walk puts you at Springdale General, where you’ve got coffee, a bar, a pilates studio, and more—basically everything you need within reach. Downtown is a quick drive, but between the nature, the space, and the easygoing vibe, you might just find yourself staying put.
