Property Description
Some homes in Parten are still waiting to become something; this one is move-in ready. Situated on a private corner lot near amenities, 542 Running Bird Lane offers a thoughtfully arranged living. The kitchen carries its own personality; Modern two-tone cabinetry with stacked glass-door uppers, a built-in wine hutch, and matte black hardware throughout that runs consistently across every door and cabinet in the home. Both the primary suite and a second bedroom sit on the main level alongside a dedicated media room and a proper home office -meaning the spaces that get daily use don't require a staircase. The entire main level is hardwood, with tile in the wet areas - no carpet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms give guests or family members their own wing. The covered patio runs double-height with a tile floor, and a three-car garage rounds out a layout with no meaningful compromises. Parten is a low-density community worth choosing for its own reasons. The streets are tree-lined, wildflower-seeded, and quiet in a way that reads less like a planned development. Every home backs onto green space. This address puts you 4 miles from Dripping Springs ISD's Cypress Springs Elementary, a new high school under construction, minutes from the Famous Salt Lick BBQ and many of the Hill Country's best wineries. 20 miles from downtown Austin when the city calls. Austin Airport and the South Austin tech corridor - AMD, ARM, NXP - is also an easy commute from here. Move-in ready now. Remaining Builder warranties transferable. The new construction math doesn't quite work out the same way once you add it all up. Schedule a tour now!
