Overview

Property Description

Tucked into the highly desirable Courtyard community is this unpolished gem. First time on market in 36 years. If you love the 90s, this is your house; if you love bringing the 90s to the twenty-first century, this is also your house. “Upside down” plan with living, dining, kitchen and master bedroom suite upstairs—the better to enjoy view of the steeply sloped and heavily wooded back yard. The backyard is truly magical where mature trees and the adjoining private greenbelt park create privacy and tranquility rarely found this close to the city. 1300 sqft of decks and balconies overlook the backyard. Downstairs you'll find two bedrooms, study, and jack and jill, plus half bath. Generous three car garage. The Courtyard offers an exceptional collection of amenities, including a gated lakefront park on Bull Creek with Lake Austin swimming access, paddleboard and kayak storage, a playground, picnic areas, and fishing opportunities. Memberships to the Courtyard Tennis and Swim Club area are available for an additional fee.
