Property Description
This versatile, charming ‘50s 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch house sits on the uphill side of iconic Balcones Drive, where the Hill Country begins. In addition to the 3 large bedrooms and 2 baths, it has a large living room with wood fireplace, a large dining room and a bonus room for a den, office or family room with a separate entrance. Pocket doors surround the living room/dining room, letting the homeowners separate those rooms for meetings or other gatherings if desired. The large galley-style kitchen has ample storage. There is a laundry room on the main level. What really sets this house apart is the 600 square foot basement next to the generous 2-car garage under the house. The basement has lots of room for a workshop or studio and has a large, lockable storeroom for on-site storage. Outside there are 2 patios in the backyard; the one right behind the house features a stone barbecue and smoker next to the fenced yard. Walk up the stairs to find another patio up in the woods with views to Mueller and east. The property is full of native plants and trees for a beautiful look and water conservation. This house is built of native white limestone and has granite countertops from nearby Marble Falls - the same granite used in the Texas state Capitol building! Recent additions include a new HVAC system 2020, fresh paint inside and outside 2024 and new chef's range 2024.
