Significant price improvement! This 1,848-square-foot home in Buda is move-in ready and has been recently refreshed with new paint and carpet, giving buyers the chance to move right in without waiting on construction. Qualified buyers may also be eligible for lender financing incentives, subject to lender approval and program guidelines.

The home sits in one of Buda’s most popular master-planned communities and offers a comfortable open-concept layout that connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The space feels bright and welcoming, with a floor plan that works just as well for everyday living as it does for entertaining.

The kitchen is a standout feature, with a large center island that gives you extra prep space, seating, and a natural place to gather. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, plenty of cabinet space, and a walk-in pantry make the kitchen practical and easy to use. The refrigerator is included with the sale.

There are four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, giving you flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or hobby space. The primary bedroom offers a private retreat, while the secondary bedrooms are nicely sized and can be used in a number of ways depending on your needs.

The washer and dryer are also included, which adds even more convenience for the next owner. Outside, the covered patio gives you a nice place to relax, enjoy your morning coffee, or spend time outdoors. The sprinkler system helps make yard maintenance easier.

Living here also means enjoying all the neighborhood amenities. Residents have access to resort-style pools, lazy river features, splash areas, walking trails, and other recreational spaces that make the community feel like more than just a neighborhood.

The location is another big plus, with convenient access to shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways leading toward Austin and surrounding Central Texas communities.

At $162/sqft, this home is 14% below the Buda active market average of $188/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
