Recent updates bring crisp white finishes, dark accents and warm wide-plank flooring throughout, with no carpet anywhere. The kitchen’s breakfast bar gives you a place to pull up a stool and keep the cook company, while granite counters, recently replaced SS appliances and gas cooking round out the space. The primary suite includes its own ensuite and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms give you options for guests, a home office or both. The spacious fenced backyard leaves the next move up to you: garden beds, an outdoor dining spot or a place for weekend projects. A mature tree adds shade, and no rear neighbors provide an extra measure of privacy. Popham Elementary is a quick walk away, with easy access to the neighborhood park, playground and basketball court. For a change of scenery, head to the trails and waterfalls at McKinney Falls State Park or the sports fields at Southeast Metropolitan Park, both nearby. Tesla’s Gigafactory and ABIA are just minutes away, while central Austin’s employers, restaurants and nightlife are approximately 20 minutes away, depending on traffic. That location also gives investors a reason to pay attention. Proximity to major employment hubs, ongoing airport expansion and planned retail and dining development add to the appeal of owning in this growing part of the Austin area. Whether you’re looking for a place to call home or a potential rental, this one gives you a fresh interior today and a location worth watching for tomorrow. Buyer to verify all info.
