This two-story layout separates your social life downstairs from your private space upstairs, and includes a garage and a private yard. It is the ideal setup without the price tag usually found in this part of South Austin! Inside, the recent overhaul is immediate. The owners removed the popcorn ceilings and updated the entire interior with fresh paint and new light fixtures. On the main floor, new luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through the living area, where a fireplace adds a warm ambiance. A wall of windows across the back keeps the living room bright and connected to the outdoors. The galley-style kitchen was updated with quartz counters, espresso cabinetry, and stainless appliances, all of which convey, including the stainless steel refrigerator. Heading upstairs, you’ll find new carpet throughout both bedrooms. The bathroom setup is a "Jack and Jill" design; each bedroom has its own private vanity and sink, but shares the area with the shower and tub. Both toilets have been upgraded. The washer and dryer are also included, both of which are less than 2 years old, making this home truly move-in ready. The backyard is fully fenced and features brand-new xeriscaped landscaping for easy upkeep, along with a wood deck that was just recently repaired, painted, and is ready for a grill and some chairs.
