Nestled beneath a mature oak on an East Austin hillside, this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home from Dwell Best Construction stands alone with its own street address, private driveway, and private storage. Legally a condominium, it functions as a single family home with no shared walls and no HOA fee. Ensuite bathrooms in each bedroom, a garage with 12-foot ceilings, and modern architecture come together on one hillside lot. You enter directly into the living area, where an open floor plan leads to a large screened porch, which has previously served as an outdoor dining room. However, its exterior walls already carry full insulation (according to the builder) if you wanted to enclose it. Buyers should confirm permit requirements. Kitchen finishes include custom cabinetry, white quartz counters, and subway tile, with a small pantry built into the space under the stairs. Designer lighting and oversized windows carry through the home. Upstairs, two bedrooms each have vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and ensuite bathrooms, so either one can serve as your primary suite. An upper private balcony extend the living space outdoors, and a gas line runs to the patio to make grilling a breeze. A full size garage holds vehicles, storage, or a home gym. An enclosed yard and additional exterior storage behind the home complete the grounds. A new roof and garage door were installed in 2024. A builder warranty transfers to the next owner, and a foundation warranty backs it. A scale prevention water system protects the appliances, and smart blinds, locks, thermostat, and doorbell come installed. Mueller, Downtown, and the University of Texas are all nearby, and Austin Bergstrom Airport is under 15 minutes by car. Nixta, Birdie's, and Cork & Screw anchor the nearby dining, with Sa-ten, Uroku, and Stargazer a short drive south. This detached home offers you a personal address, private driveway, no HOA fee, and plenty of storage. Schedule your showing.
