4 Bedrooms, 2 Bath, 1 Living, 2 Car Garage and 2,274 Sq Ft!
$274,900 - SOLD

Located in the sought-after Windridge neighborhood this beautiful home is extensively updated and renovated. Built in 1984, the home is white stone on all 4 sides and is situated on a generous, wonderfully landscaped lot of nearly 1/3 acre.

The lot is a large, park-like yard of 170x93x147x85 with plenty of room to throw a ball, garden or just sit under the shade of a tree - I counted 16 oak trees in the backyard alone! There is a sprinkler system but the yard is actually xeriscaped, which is the process of using native plants and creative landscaping to reduce the need for watering. The xeriscaping was done in accordance with the City of Austin energy efficiency program which makes this not only a beautiful property but a smart choice.

It’s easy to imagine sitting under the fans of the covered porch in the backyard sipping lemonade and watching the fireflys at dusk or stringing up some paper laterns around the large patio and deck and having a few friends over on a pleasant Austin evening

As you walk up to the front of the home under the covered porch you will certainly notice the lovely beveled glass and mahogany door. Through the door you will find a generous use of wood floors in the house. The “Red Oak” floors are in the Foyer, Living, Dining, Kitchen, Breakfast, Halls and Office/Hobby Room and it completely makes this home stand out from other homes in the area. There is a skylight in the Foyer, and as you stand there upon entering one can’t help but notice how much natural light there is throughout the house. The view from the Foyer also provides you a peak into the sunken Family Room. Off to the left of the Foyer is the Dining Room which is currently being used as a Formal Living area. The space has coffered ceilings and is fairly flexible, so if you chose not to use it for Dining or Living it would be a possibility to add French doors and make the area a wonderful home office.

Unlike many homes of the era, the kitchen has enough space to spread out and be creative. The kitchen features a tiled breakfast bar, which are great places for family and guests to gather and catch-up. The owner has stained the oak cabinets white, a time consuming process which required 7 coats but creates a very unique look. I counted 36 total doors & drawers in the cabinets, as well as a pantry closet, so the kitchen is not short on storage areas. A skylight brings natural light streaming into the kitchen. So many homes from the mid-80s have the boxed drop-down fluorescent lighting which tends to cramp the kitchen, but not this home. There is recessed lighting and spot lighting which keeps the kitchen open and friendly. A built-in self cleaning oven, microwave and stove top are also available to you for all of your culinary creations.

There is a warmth to the family room that is not easily quantifiable. Perhaps it is the “Red Oak” hardwood floors that cover the sunken space. It might be the impressive stone fireplace with oak mantle that rises up to meet the cathedral ceilings. Then again, maybe it is the patio doors and windows that bring in the sunlight and blend the outdoors with the indoors. Whatever it is, it’s not hard to imagine sitting in the room reading the paper on a lazy Saturday morning with the smell of fresh ground coffee and the sounds of Miles Davis filling the room or spending a romantic evening on a cold February day sitting in front of a roaring fire.

The master bedroom is a nice sized room that has coffered ceilings and a ceiling fan. It has its own private patio door so you can conveniently access your backyard oasis whenever you want. The master bath has a dual vanity with recessed lighting over ample counter space in a dressing room area. The shower/tub area has an additional door which could be closed for further privacy.

The 3 secondary bedrooms are all of a good size. Too many times builders make a home with smallish secondary bedrooms but that is certainly not the case for this home. The hall bath also has plenty of room to move around and a dual vanity which means, if you have kids, less fighting for ‘bathroom time’ in the morning.
Tucked away behind the utility room is a room the owners currently use as a home office. It is finished out with hardwood floors, a ceiling fan and a wood and glass door. This room could also be the perfect place to have a hobby room.

This beautiful custom home represents a wonderful opportunity to own an extensively upgraded, customized and functional home on a generous lot in the Windridge neighborhood in Northwest Austin. It is located in the highly desirable Round Rock ISD and feeds to North Oaks Elementary, Canyon Vista Middle School and Westwood High School – all schools that have earned their fair share of acclaim and recognition. Within walking distance of the home is Oak View Park which has walking and biking trails, a playground and tennis courts. North Oaks Elementary adjoins this park and there is a soccer field at the school that anyone can enjoy. 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 620 to head out to Lake Travis for a day on the lake or 360 to make a run through the bike trails at Bull Creek. What an exceptional place to live!
