About This Home
As of August 2025Set on 1.54 acres in Saratoga Hills, this rare single-story home with an attached casita feels like a private Hill Country estate. Tucked back from the street with great curb appeal, it’s full of natural light, character, and open space. You’ll love the high ceilings, gorgeous white oak hardwood floors, and wall-to-wall windows that line the back of the house, perfectly framing views of the backyard and pool. The main house includes 3 BD, 3 BA, a formal dining, an office, and an open-concept living area bringing together the kitchen, living room, and breakfast nook. The kitchen is a standout—anchored by a huge center island, loaded with cabinetry, and complemented by a butler’s pantry. The impressive primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, expansive Hill Country views, and an equally impressive ensuite. Attached to the main home is a charming casita with its own entrance, kitchenette, separate bedroom, and full bath—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. But the real magic is out back. The oversized screened-in patio with wood-burning fireplace sets the tone for chill evenings. Then there’s the pool area—this isn’t just a pool area, this is an outdoor experience. The massive stone-paved area includes a pool, pergola-covered lounging, a raised deck that sits level with the water’s edge and a stone fire pit that draws you in for evening hangs. Steps away, shaded beneath mature oaks, is a an outdoor kitchen and a 2nd firepit gathering space with built-in stone seating. Every corner of the backyard invites you to relax, entertain, and take in the peaceful surroundings. And despite all these amenities, there’s still plenty of open space to make your own. The neighborhood itself offers even more: a state-of-the-art fitness center, scenic walking trails, and a tight-knit community that hosts regular events and get-togethers. It’s a peaceful Hill Country setting that feels like a true retreat—but with easy access to Austin’s best shopping, dining, and entertainment.
