4 Bedrooms, 2 Bath, 2 Living, 2 Car Garage & 1,962 Sq Ft!
Listed for $174,900 - SOLD!
Located in the Jack's Pond neighborhood tucked just off of North Mopac (Burnet Road) and Bratton Lane in North Austin, this home sits on a greenbelt lot with a nice view from your back patio. The home is finished out in light colors and earth tones and has many upgrades. This home lies within the Round Rock ISD and feeds to Wells Branch Elementary, Chisholm Trail Middle School and McNeil High School.
Details Matter...
Walking up the sidewalk to this home you begin to get a glimpse of what makes this home so special. Yes, you have the standard two trees that the builder plants, but there is also a lush front bed with full, green bushes and plants set off by black mulch providing a wonderful aesthetic.
Walk through the front door and you will find the details do not stop there. The high ceilings and upgraded light fixtures might be the first things you notice. What you don't see is equally impressive. The home has CAT 5 wiring throughout and the walls between the secondary bedrooms have been soundproofed.
Another great thing about this home is that it is not so highly personalized that what you currently have won't fit. The walls, tile and carpet (recently cleaned!) are in shades of white or other subtle earth tones, meaning that no matter what furniture you have, it will probably fit well with the current color scheme. That's what they call 'move in ready'!
Many times when you look at a home you have to start keeping a mental tally of all of the items that you will need to change within a month or so of moving in. But in this home there are no deep red or bright yellow walls that are going to take layers upon layers of paint to cover up if that is not what you like, no pink or green carpet you are going to have to change - essentially you get to start with virtually a clean slate and customize the home to fit you.
The Heart of the Home...
The floorplan for this home is one that is very popular due to its excellent flow and open feel. As you enter the home you will find an open living and dining area to your left. To your right is a flex room with french doors which is currently used as an office but could easily be used as a 4th bedroom as well. Additionally, this isn't one of those homes where you have to turn on all the lights in the middle of the day just to see someone across the room. Natural light is adundant in the home and streams in from the windows, adding brightness to the already open home.
If you continue straight, past the living and dining you will find what could truly be called the heart of this home. The kitchen opens into the breakfast and family room. Natural light floods into the area via a skylight above the kitchen and the wall of windows in the family and breakfast rooms. In essense, it is one large space, not three closed in areas, and it is this openness that allows every person in the home to feel a part of what is going on. This also automatically lends itself as the natural place to gather, whether just with family or with a larger group of friends.
The kitchen is bright and open, with honey colored cabinets and white appliances, including a gas stove with cooktop, venting microwave and new (05/06) dishwasher. Although many homes in this area do not do so, the exhaust for the range actually vents out of the home, which is a great feature, especially if you do any cooking with curry. Additionally, with some counter on all 4 sides of this kitchen, you should never be short on counter space.
Light, Light and More Light...
The family room is bathed in light courtesy of the 3 large windows at the back of the home that look out upon the backyard and greenbelt. There is a fireplace with mantle nestled in the corner and the space in the living room allows for many different furniture layout possibilities.
The master bedroom is a good size room located at the back of the home complete with high ceilings and a decorative ceiling fan to keep you cool on warm summer days. A large picture window looks out upon the backyard and one can imagine a cozy sitting area by the window where you could get comfortable and read a good novel. In the master bathroom you will find wood cabinets, an extended dual vanity, garden tub and a separate shower. The walk-in closet is very large with an extensive amount of shelving and has been reconfigured so to optimize the space.
Down the hall before the kitchen you will find the remaining 2 bedrooms as well as the second full bath. This mother-in-law plan keeps the secondary bedroom at enough of a distance that everyone is not on top of each other, but close enough to access fairly quickly. The second full bath actually leads from the hall back into the office/4th bed, continuing the flow of this home.
Out from the french doors in the breakfast room you will find a world of possibilities for this home. Maybe you would like a pond and water garden? or a deck and arbor? The backyard is large enough that you should be able to make it your own private oasis. The greenbelt behind your home ensures that whatever sanctuary you decide to make in your backyard, it will remain your own private getaway as no neighbors will be peeking over your back fence.
This beautiful home represents a wonderful opportunity to own an upgraded home with a wonderful flow on greenbelt lot in the Jacks Pond neighborhood in North Austin. Neighborhood parks and playgrounds are just a short bike ride or walk away. The location provides convenient access to making a run to the Arboretum area for a dinner at ZTejas and dessert at Amy’s Ice Cream or packing the crew together and jumping on 360 to make a run through the bike trails at Bull Creek. This neighborhood also benefits from short commutes to a slew of major employers and, taking Merrilltown, avoids the new toll road. What an fantastic place to live!
