A 0.2575-acre lot in Northwest Hills is the core value here, and 7604 Chimney Cors puts that land, interior scale, and neighborhood position together in a part of Austin where established streets and larger residential parcels continue to matter. Set in Northwest Hills in 78731, this is a 2,478-square-foot single family residence built in 1979, with four bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, and pricing at $1.22M, or $490 per square foot. After 218 days on market, the opportunity is easy to read: this is a buyer looking at usable square footage, a meaningful lot, and a long-standing central Austin location instead of chasing newer construction at a much higher basis.

The layout supports how many buyers actually live. The main level includes a bright living room with fireplace, recessed lighting, a dedicated home office, and a laundry room with sink and folding station. The kitchen is practical rather than ornamental, with granite countertops, substantial cabinet storage, and a breakfast area that opens directly to the backyard deck and garden. Upstairs, the primary suite adds a second fireplace, walk-in closets, an updated bath with double vanity and walk-in shower, and access to a screened porch with swing. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor, which gives the house real flexibility for family use, guests, or work-from-home needs.

The exterior improvements and infrastructure updates also carry weight. Recent work includes new Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, removal of popcorn ceilings, a new first-floor water heater, replaced ductwork with thicker insulation to improve second-floor air conditioning performance, exterior repairs, touch-up paint, and mailbox updates. Outside, the backyard is more functional than cosmetic, with a vegetable garden, rainwater collection system, and sprinkler plus drip irrigation. A covered front porch, screened porch, and two-car garage with quiet door and epoxy flooring round out the package.

Location remains part of the investment case. The home is described as walkable to Doss Elementary, Murchison Middle, Anderson High, and the Dell JCC, with convenient access to local shops, grocery stores, dining, parks, the Arboretum, the Domain, and Downtown Austin. For a buyer focused on lot size, livable square footage, and long-term hold potential in an established Austin neighborhood, this property is positioned as a practical Northwest Hills asset with room to perform over time.

Northwest Hills is a family neighborhood in 78731, built in the 1960s-80s on wooded half-acre lots between MoPac and Loop 360. Median home price $1.19M. Austin ISD schools — Doss Elementary and Murchison Middle rank among the district's best. 12 minutes to UT campus, 15 to downtown.

The housing stock is predominantly single-story ranch and split-level homes on lots averaging 0.3-0.5 acres with mature live oak and cedar canopy. Most original homes are 1,800-3,000 sq ft. A renovation wave has been updating kitchens and adding square footage without tearing down — the lot sizes accommodate additions well. Active listings typically number 15-25 at any given time.

Daily life revolves around the schools and the outdoors. Bull Creek for weekend wading, Mount Bonnell for sunset hikes (8 minutes from the neighborhood), Northwest District Park for soccer and the playground. Far West corridor handles weeknight dining — Saffron, 5280 Burger, Yamas. The Arboretum and Domain are 10 minutes north for shopping. HEB on Far West is the neighborhood grocery hub.

What makes Northwest Hills the family value play in Central Austin: Doss/Murchison school quality at roughly half the Eanes ISD price point, lot sizes that rival Westlake, and a 15-minute commute that beats the suburbs. The tradeoff is Austin ISD (good but not Eanes) and 1960s-80s housing stock that often needs updating.
