Classic South Austin ranch-style home with a fresh look, room to gather, and the added confidence of being South Austin Homes Certified Pre-Owned! Pre-inspected by an independent inspector, with over a dozen items addressed during preparation for sale, this home has received thoughtful attention before hitting the market. An afternoon-shaded front porch, contemporary glass-paneled entry door, and crisp exterior palette set the tone, while an open interior and spacious backyard make this home inviting inside and out. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,479 square feet with hard-surface flooring throughout. A charcoal-painted brick fireplace with a curved hearth anchors the spacious living room, while wide openings connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A kitchen skylight brings in natural light above black granite counters, white cabinetry, a glass-and-stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range. Pull up a stool at the breakfast bar, keep the conversation going while you cook, or take dinner outside. The oversized primary suite has room to spread out, with an extra-wide pocket door opening to an updated bathroom with a generous walk-in shower. Crown molding, thick baseboards, recessed lighting, dimmer switches, and coordinated hardware add polish throughout. Energy improvements include radiant barrier attic foil, added attic insulation up to R-25 value, duct sealing, air sealing, plus a Nest thermostat. Even the two-car garage gets the full treatment: finished walls and ceiling and an epoxy flake floor for parking, projects, or a home gym. Out back, a broad patio overlooks a fenced yard with a pomegranate tree, mountain laurel, crape myrtle, and beds ready for your next garden. Conveniently located between South Congress and South First, with access to I-35, MoPac, downtown Austin, and the airport. Feature sheet with a full list of improvements and the property inspection report are available upon request.
