More information about this home

First Impressions: Charming Curb Appeal

As you arrive, you’ll notice the storybook character of the exterior. German schmear brick, traditional blue shutters, and mature oak and pecan trees create a picturesque setting. Because this home sits on a greenbelt corner lot, you get the rare advantage of sweeping views of HOA-maintained green space—almost like having your own private park right outside your door.

Walking up to the front entry, you’ll step onto the spacious covered front porch overlooking the greenbelt, setting the tone for the incredible indoor-outdoor living you’ll find throughout.

The Entryway and Formal Dining

Step inside, and you’re immediately welcomed by soaring ceilings, bright natural light, and the warmth of recently added white oak hardwood floors that flow throughout the main level. To your right, the formal dining room offers an elegant spot for hosting family dinners or holiday gatherings. Its large windows frame views of the tree-lined streets, while custom window coverings add both privacy and style.

The Private Office

Just off the entry, you’ll find a dedicated office. With its quiet setting and plenty of natural light, this space is perfect for working from home, studying, or managing household projects. Sliding French doors give you the ability to close off the space when you need privacy, while still keeping the airy, open feel of the home.

The Heart of the Home: Kitchen and Living Room

Moving forward, you’ll step into the open-concept kitchen and living room. This space is designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen has been recently updated with new cabinets, quartz countertops, and a layout that encourages gathering. Open built-in bookshelves bring a designer touch, perfect for displaying cookbooks, pottery, or décor. All appliances, including the Wolf gas range, are included with the sale, making the kitchen move-in ready from the start.

The living room is anchored by a beautiful fireplace, offering both charm and comfort. Large windows overlooking the backyard keep the space bright and inviting, and French doors lead you out to the backyard patios, extending your living space outdoors.

Downstairs, you’ll also find a guest room with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

Step outside, and you’ll quickly see why this home is special. The backyard has been fully hardscaped, creating multiple levels of usable outdoor space. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee on one of the covered patios, dining al fresco under the shade of the trees, or sipping on wine while catching up with friends, the possibilities are endless.

Each bedroom in the home has private access to an outdoor patio or balcony—a rare feature that truly blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. The home boasts four balconies total, offering the perfect spot for quiet relaxation or lively entertaining.

The Rare Private Casita

Through the backyard and up the stairs is one of the standout features of this property, a private casita. With its own bathroom, kitchenette, and private backyard access, it’s ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or even a private studio or office space. This kind of flexibility is hard to find and adds incredible value to the home.

Upstairs Retreat

Heading up the front staircase—or the hidden back staircase by the garage—you’ll find the private quarters of the home.

The primary suite is located upstairs, which is a rare layout in Texas. The bedroom opens to its own balcony, giving you a peaceful retreat with views of the treetops. The ensuite bathroom is complete with dual vanities, a large jetted tub, and a separate shower. It’s designed for both function and relaxation.

Nearby, the laundry room is also upstairs—another convenience that makes everyday living easier.

Two additional guest rooms, which share a Jack and Jill bathroom, are located on this level, each with private access to a balcony or patio. This detail makes every bedroom feel like a suite, offering a special experience for family or visitors.

Entertainment Spaces

The upstairs level also includes a media room and a game room/playroom. Whether you’re hosting a movie night, setting up a play space for kids, or creating a hobby area, these rooms give you the flexibility to customize the home to your lifestyle.
