3 Bed 3 Bath 2,319 sqft $377/sqft Built 1999 0.08 acres 2-Car Garage Pool Courtyard At Gaines Ranch

Live among the treetops in the exclusive gated community of Gaines Ranch! Showcasing one of the neighborhood's most coveted floor plans, this exceptional home is perched on a premier corner cul-de-sac lot and offers the rare feeling of a private treehouse, surrounded by mature oaks with no neighboring home to one side-just direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt trail system. Walls of windows frame lush greenery from nearly every room! You'll feel immersed in nature while remaining just minutes from Central Market, Barton Creek Square, the shopping and dining of Sunset Valley, Zilker Park, and downtown Austin. Designed around a charming paver courtyard for year-round outdoor living, the thoughtfully planned layout features two spacious living areas, creating the perfect spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The oversized primary retreat includes a private sitting room or office, a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and two generous walk-in closets. Thoughtfully refreshed with numerous recent improvements, the home shines with all-new interior paint, freshly painted interior trim, updated lighting and designer light fixtures, a beautifully upgraded kitchen with freshly painted cabinetry, enhanced landscaping, and much more-creating a move-in-ready home! Upstairs, an expansive secondary living area provides flexibility for a game room, media room, home office, or family gathering space. Enjoy the ease of a true lock-and-leave lifestyle with HOA-maintained front and backyard lawn care, beautifully maintained common areas, and a sparkling community pool just steps away. With direct access to scenic hiking trails, exceptional privacy, and Southwest Austin's most desirable location, this home offers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find...immersed in nature without sacrificing proximity to everything Austin has to offer!

At $377/sqft, this home is 4% below the Austin active market average of $393/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
