Walking distance to restaurants, library, and exemplary Highland Park Elementary and park. The house sits on a quiet street between 45th and Hancock that rarely sees cut-through traffic unless a marathon blocks off Bull Creek. The front of the house is open and bright, but is set back enough to afford privacy. An oversized hall closet can accept guests coats on those months in Austin that require warmer clothing. To the left the living room extends to a dining area at the front of the house. To the back is a comfortable family room and breakfast area off the galley kitchen. The kitchen leads to the laundry room and walk in pantry. A sliding door opens to a large private patio and fenced back yard. From the entry you can walk straight in to two more hall closets and turn right to the three bedrooms. The front and side bedrooms share a hall bath and each has a medium closet with bifold doors. The primary bedroom at the back has an ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The neighborhood has a mix of ages and family types. Many neighbors have young children and a number walk or bike with their kids over the Hancock bridge to Highland Park Elementary School, the park by the school, or Russels for a cookie or slice of cake. Other neighbors are working age without children or are retired. Residents can easily walk to a nearby nursery, French bistro, convenience store, and Fonda San Miguel. The Yarborough Library is nearby and offers story time for littles and books a plenty for any age. Mopac is convenient, but does not cause additional traffic. 45th and Shoal Creek provide convenient avenues to avoid Mopac if you so choose. The major appliances are in great working order. The air conditioner and ductwork were replaced in 2022 and the water heater is new as of 2023. The Kitchen includes a gourmet KitchenAid double oven/microwave combination, a glass cooktop, and a Bosch dishwasher. Countertops are granite with a deep stainless sink and food disposer.
