LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION…. Well meticulously maintained turn key home. Over $95,000 in upgrades and improvements. Above grade sq. footage is 1388 and below grade is approx 1148 which spans the footprint of the home. Beautiful landscaped yard. Two large decks and most windows have direct view of Eastside Lake with no lake side property taxes. Due to most windows and (2) decks facing west , you will be able to watch picturesque looking sunsets , over the lake. This is one of few homes that get to see the sunsets over the lake. Added bonus, you can watch Austin 4th of July fireworks from inside of the home or on the decks as well. Less than one block from lake. Imagine right out your door walking on a paved trail right next to the lake that wraps ½ way around the lake. Gorgeous ornamental trees encompass the park along with year round vegetation and several different species of wildlife. Witness flocks of geese gathering before migrating south. Many activities can be appreciated by young and old alike, from fishing, biking, kayaking to boating to name just a few. Only one direct neighbor. All this within city limits. Close to everything and easy access to Hwy 90. Three generously sized bedrooms that all have awesome views of the lake, 1 ½ bath and first floor laundry just added. Very reliable and quiet LG stackable washer and dryer around 3 years old that comes with extended transferable service warranty contract. No more dangerous basement steps to climb with a laundry basket in tow. 6 oak panel doors, all trim, and kitchen cabinets are all spray painted in modern white. No more drab stained outdated woodwork. Kitchen and living room are open concept approx. 19' x 25' with newly added 9/16” engineered hand honed hardwood flooring in a two tone finish. Both Bathrooms were completely gutted and redone with Main having his and hers inlaid dual white sinks inc. a neutral tone gray quartz countertop finishes the look around the sinks. Cabinet cottage door faces off white. A spa like experience with the pastel blue walls and gray accents of the quartz top and tile surrounds. All new bathroom fixtures, lights, tub, toilet, and tile shower. Added pink panther insulation with new modern vinyl siding on outer perimeter and add'l blown attic insulation for a toasty winters haven. Can you say man cave. New 200 amp service panel in main house, new sub panel in over sized 24' x 28' garage. Plenty of power now for future hot tub, welders, air compressors, electric car charging etc. Plus more room for all your toys.
