About this home
Tucked into the natural landscape of West Oak Hill, this updated 1971 home offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, and long-term potential on 1.86 acres. The front portion of the property unfolds as a wild meadow that blooms with Bluebonnets each spring, creating a sense of arrival that feels distinctly Texan while preserving privacy from the street.
Inside, the home spans 2,397 square feet across four bedrooms plus a flex room that works equally well as a fifth bedroom or home office. The main living area centers around a fireplace with skylights bringing in natural light, and the kitchen features black granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that connects to the living and dining areas. A detached garage adds flexibility for a workshop, vehicle storage, or recreational equipment, with Lake Travis just a short drive away.
Recent upgrades include a new roof, fresh exterior paint, extended gutters, a new dishwasher, and landscaping work that removed roughly 25 chinaberry trees while preserving mature live oaks and adding irrigation. Located within Austin's ETJ, the property offers flexibility for future customization or expansion.
Infrastructure improvements at the Highway 71/290 Y have meaningfully improved access to Downtown, just two stoplights away before an open highway drive. Space, privacy, and city access, all in one property....
