Property Description
Welcome to The Hilltop Hive, a private retreat on 2.5 acres with minimal restrictions just minutes from the heart of Austin. Luxurious comfort meets wide-open views at this Hill Country haven! This three-level home in bustling Bee Cave has been gorgeously updated and filled with possibilities. The unique layout - primary on main, three guest rooms upstairs and a large suite downstairs - is perfect for short-term rental (STR), multi-generational or live/work situations. Soaring beamed ceilings, wall-to-wall views and expansive decks hint at comfy cabin vibes, while designer finishes elevate the entire space. The main floor features new glass sliding doors in the living, dining and primary bedroom that showcase immaculate sunset views over the hills. The oversize primary suite is an oasis itself, with a custom walk-in shower and seating area bathed in natural light. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms (two with private balconies) and a full bath. Downstairs, a suite with living room, bedroom, full bath and private patio offers dream accommodations for guests. The entire home has been refreshed with new hardwood flooring, tile, paint and fixtures throughout, and the exterior features fresh paint, new decking, new windows and more. A 700-square-foot detached garage with electricity holds endless potential for a workshop, office, studio or storage. Major updates include a new standing-seam metal roof, two new HVAC units and ductwork, new windows and all new kitchen appliances. This property feels secluded while being located less than 10 minutes from HEB and dozens of dining and shopping options at the Hill Country Galleria. All top-rated Lake Travis ISD schools are within four miles, and you can be on the lake in 20 minutes. Convenience, privacy and space to breathe - this outstanding property offers it all!
