FREEDOM AND PEACE - A Home That Offers Both in Abundance This is more than a home-it's a lifestyle. Here, you're free to park your RV and your boat with ease-one in the garage, one inside the gated side yard, or both outside. Just under a mile from the public boat launch on Lake Austin, adventure is always close at hand. Stroll along the peaceful, tree-lined streets or down to the lake, where quiet serenity surrounds you. Relax or garden in the expansive backyard, which features three separate fenced areas and backs to privately owned natural land. With no home owner fees, you'll enjoy financial freedom with a low 2024 tax rate of just 1.72%. Step through the front door into an open-concept living space that combines kitchen, family room, and dining area-perfect for connection and entertaining. The primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a spacious bedroom, a cozy sitting area with a fireplace and views of the side yard, and a luxurious ensuite bath with dual vanities, a spa tub, separate shower, and private commode. From there, the walk-in closet and laundry room flow directly into a personal sauna-your private spa awaits. Upstairs, a huge game room with wet bar and refrigerator opens onto a large balcony-another perfect spot to enjoy the peaceful setting. Off the game room, you'll find a dedicated media room ready for movie nights or gaming marathons, and a private office with its own window and closet-ideal for uninterrupted work-from-home days. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located down the hall, offering space and privacy for family or guests. All of this sits on a beautifully landscaped 0.3-acre lot adorned with ancient oak trees. Zoned to highly regarded Leander schools and located near Quinlan Park (with playgrounds and a boat launch), plus quick access to shopping, major roads, and the beauty of Lake Travis and Central Texas. Come experience the rare blend of serenity and freedom-this is more than a home; it's your sanctuary.
