Conveniently located at the front of Steiner Ranch and backing to peaceful green space, this beautifully maintained home offers the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and access to nature. With a gate that opens directly onto miles of hiking trails, it feels like a treehouse retreat—yet it's just minutes from highly-rated schools, parks, and neighborhood favorites like Summer Moon Coffee and Steiner Ranch Steakhouse.

The living and dining areas are warm and inviting, with a fireplace in the dining room and a passthrough wet bar connecting the kitchen to the living area—perfect for entertaining or your morning coffee setup. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a wood island, and a sunny breakfast nook—ideal for curling up with a book and coffee while looking out into the trees.

The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a wall of windows that bring the outdoors in. The ensuite bath features a dual vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with a tub/shower combo.

Fresh interior paint and no carpet throughout the home make for a clean, move-in ready feel. Major updates include a new roof and chimney in Dec. 2024 & a new hot water heater installed in 2022.

Step outside to a generous deck overlooking the lush greenbelt and enjoy a large fenced yard—ideal for dining al fresco, relaxing in the shade, or letting pets roam. A two-car garage and thoughtful updates throughout add to the home’s everyday functionality & charm.

Residents of Steiner Ranch enjoy premier amenities, including multiple pools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and the private Lake Club on Lake Austin. With its unbeatable location, natural setting, and inviting interior, this home offers the very best of Hill Country living in one of Austin’s most desirable communities.
