Austin, TX 78727
$495,000
3 Bed 2 Bath 2,046 sqft $242/sqft Built 1979 0.23 acres 2-Car Garage Pool Northwood Iv

Northwood is a neighborhood built to last, and this home reflects that same enduring character. Established in the mid-1970s to mid-1980s, Northwood is known for mature trees, sidewalk-lined streets, and the absence of a mandatory HOA; all qualities that have made it a quietly desirable address in Northwest Austin for decades.

Built in 1979, this three-bedroom, two-bath home offers just over 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully proportioned living space, including the beamed ceilings, fire place, and classic floor plan characteristic of homes from this era. An added large covered patio is a space for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors. The bedrooms are spacious. With no rear neighbors, your backyard provides ultimate privacy and a peaceful view of green space and wildlife.

The location offers considerable convenience. The home sits minutes from Apple's campus, Amazon, and the broader employment corridor along Parmer Lane, with easy access to The Domain for shopping and dining. Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park is nearby for those who enjoy walking trails and green space, and both MoPac and Highway 183 provide straightforward access to the rest of Austin.

The home is zoned to Summitt Elementary, Murchison Middle School — Austin ISD's only International Baccalaureate middle school — and Anderson High School (buyer to verify).

This is a home defined not by trends, but by quality, and a setting that has proven its appeal over nearly fifty years.

At $242/sqft, this home is 38% below the Austin active market average of $390/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
