Property description

This Highland Village residence by David Weekley offers something that can be hard to find in Central Austin: newer construction, generous living space and a functional floor plan surrounded by the character of an established neighborhood—without the price tag often attached to brand-new construction nearby. Inside, 10-foot ceilings and rich wood floors set the tone throughout the first floor. A dedicated office at the front of the home, enclosed by glass French doors, creates a defined workspace away from the primary living areas. The kitchen opens naturally to the dining and living spaces and features granite countertops, stainless appliances and a substantial center island. From the kitchen, sightlines extend through the screened patio and into the backyard, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite is tucked downstairs, providing a welcomed separation from the secondary guest bedrooms above. Its spacious bath includes a frameless walk-in shower and soaking tub. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms surround a flexible second living area that works equally well as a kids' retreat, media room or casual hangout. Fresh carpet complements a floor plan that gives everyone a little room to spread out. Outside, the screened patio becomes an extension of the home and overlooks a private backyard and wood playscape. Recent improvements include full-home gutters, garage storage shelving and professional epoxy flooring in the garage. Highland Village puts you close to many of the things that make Central Austin living so convenient, with easy access to Burnet Road, Mopac and The Grove at Shoal Creek for dining, retail, green space and everyday amenities. Newer construction, a downstairs primary, dedicated office, multiple living spaces and a backyard designed to actually be used make this a combination that isn't easy to replicate in Central Austin.
