Five bedrooms. One story. Every big-ticket update already checked off. Homes like this rarely come up in Shady Hollow, where mature oaks shade quiet streets. This 2,636 sq ft brick home has two living areas, an open floor plan, and not a single step inside. The kitchen is the heart of the house. A skylight pours natural light over the granite counters, the center island and the breakfast bar, and there's a gas range for serious cooking and a pantry with room to stock up. It opens to the family room, where a gas fireplace sets the mood on cool evenings. A second living area offers space to spread out, whether as a playroom, a movie room, or a quiet corner for reading. The primary suite is a true retreat, with two walk-in closets, a double vanity, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The fifth bedroom is currently a home office with custom built-in desks and cabinetry. Keep it as a workspace, or the seller will remove the built-ins before closing and return it to a bedroom. The choice is yours. The expensive, disruptive work is behind you: an impact-resistant roof and gutters (April 2024), fresh exterior paint and an 8-foot privacy fence (November 2024), and popcorn ceilings removed (September 2026). All that's left is making it yours. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard with a large patio and towering shade trees, private enough for morning coffee and big enough for weekend gatherings. Just down the street, Shady Hollow offers a community pool, park, playground, tennis courts, and walking trails, all for a modest $560 a year. The home is zoned to Austin ISD's Baranoff, Bailey, and Bowie, and it's minutes from Brodie Lane, Menchaca Road, and FM 1626.
