Some remodels stop at the surface. This one changed the entire mood of the house. Set on an oversized lot in Northeast Austin, the single-level home feels open, bright and full of personality. Wide-plank LVP flooring runs throughout with no carpet anywhere, while the kitchen, living and dining areas flow together but still feel like distinct spaces. The stunning kitchen sits right in the middle of it all with Carrara quartz countertops, SS appliances and a center island likely to become the favorite sport for quick snacks, homework or catching up with the cook during dinner prep. Since there’s also room to dine in the kitchen, the formal dining room isn’t locked into one role. Keep it for larger dinners or use it as another living area. The sizable primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and its own ensuite with an oversized glass-enclosed shower and long, quartz-topped dual vanity. With three additional bedrooms, there’s enough flexibility to set aside space for guests, work or fitness, if traditional rooms aren’t needed. An attached two-car garage takes care of parking and additional storage. Sliding doors open the living room directly to a raised stone patio and a yard that is anything but an afterthought. Mature trees bring plenty of shade, while the oversized lawn leaves space to play, garden or transforming the backyard over time. The neighborhood adds even more reasons to head outside. Pecan Springs Elem. and Little Walnut Creek Greenbelt are within a short walk, while Dottie Jordan Park, Morris Williams Golf Course and the Southern Walnut Creek Trail bring even more recreation nearby. Mueller’s restaurants, shops, Lake Park, Thinkery and Sunday farmers market are approximately two miles away, with downtown about 5.5 miles from the neighborhood. The remodel makes staying in tempting, while the oversized yard, nearby trails, Mueller and downtown give you every reason to get out and enjoy where you live.
