This stunning property on a near acre in West Oaks offers all the privacy and flexibility of country living yet within 15 minutes of downtown Austin in the city’s ETJ. LOW TAXES, and reduced restrictions and regulations not found within the City. Minutes to the Waldorf School and Regents School of Austin, this home was taken down to the studs in 2015 with the main house offering 4,407 sf of conditioned space + an attached oversized 2 car garage w/workspace and ample room to add additional living space on the second floor. The main living/dining area offers a spacious open floor plan with stain-grade cabinetry, a wood burning fireplace, and a coffee/cocktail bar with an ice maker, sink, and beverage fridge. The gourmet kitchen offers stainless GE Monogram built-in appliances and a Butler’s pantry. The first-floor primary suite with a double vanity and double walk-in closets, opens to the expansive private backyard. The main level of the home offers a dedicated office with a built-in workspace and separate exterior entrance, an oversized mudroom, and a cheery laundry room with built-ins. The second level of the home offers 3 spacious (one en suite) bedrooms each with oversized walk-in closets and a 2nd living area that's adjacent to the creative art/craft room with a built-in workspace and storage. Taking advantage of the natural and peaceful setting, the property offers multiple outdoor entertaining areas: a wood patio off the kitchen/dining areas, a beautiful pool and spa (2019) surrounded by a limestone patio, a built in fire pit sitting area, and a concrete sport court. The detached 1,300 square foot ADU/barn offers open concept living/dining/kitchen, a separate bedroom, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, and a stackable W/D. Ideal for multigenerational living or an office, the ADU has provided consistent income as an STR since 2016. Survey/OSSF available.
