Dreaming of your own private wilderness retreat--right in the heart of the city? Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after 78745, this lovingly updated gem offers the best of both worlds: nature, space + serenity, just minutes from all the food, fun + conveniences of South Austin. Set on a rare 1/3-acre lot, this home feels like a hidden sanctuary. A long driveway offers plenty of parking + leads to a two-car garage with bonus storage. Out front, gorgeous stonework + a brand-new boardwalk invite you in. Step inside + you're welcomed by vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, shiplap accents + solar tubes that flood the home with natural light. The open-concept living, kitchen + dining area flows beautifully--perfect for gatherings or peaceful nights in. The kitchen is fully updated with thick high-end granite countertops, all stainless steel appliances (including a new oven and vent hood), a large basin sink with a gooseneck faucet + freshly painted cabinets with modern hardware. No carpet here--only real hardwood, tile + luxury vinyl plank floors throughout. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a walk-in closet + an en suite bath, while both bathrooms feature granite counters, stylish plumbing fixtures, freshly painted cabinets + updated lighting. Every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded--from new windows (2020) + blinds to recent interior paint + a brand new fence. But the real magic? The backyard. Wild, raw + massive--with endless potential for gardening, entertaining, or kid-led exploration under a canopy of mature trees. This is the kind of space that's nearly impossible to find this close to the city. You're just 2 min to Longview Park + Stevenson Nature Preserve + within 5-8 min of South Manchaca's vibrant adult playground, top-tier dining, coffee shops + groceries (including HEB and Randalls). Easy access to Mopac, SoCo + nearby private schools/daycares seals the deal. A true urban retreat at an incredible value! Come see it today!
