There’s something special about homes in Western Trails - mature trees, generous lots, and architecture with personality. Beautiful Austin Stone home set on a spacious corner lot with beautiful native foliage, this updated home captures everything people love about this established South Austin neighborhood. Mature trees, lush landscaping (thriving for years even in extreme heat), and a large private backyard including ready to plant garden beds create a peaceful setting that’s increasingly hard to find, while the expansive patio offers plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet evening.

Inside, rich hardwood floors, abundant natural light from newer black-framed windows, and a cozy wood burning fireplace create warm, inviting living spaces. The renovated kitchen and bathrooms strike the perfect balance between classic style and modern functionality, making the home feel both current and comfortable.

One of the home’s standout features is its unique layout. Two oversized bedrooms anchor opposite ends of the home, each with direct access to a full bath. One as a true primary suite and the other connected through a shared hall bath offering exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or anyone looking for added privacy.

Rest easy knowing the home conveys with Fridge, Washer, Dryer (2021) and has a newer HVAC (2023), Water Heater (2024), Dishwasher (2023).

Just as compelling as the home itself is the location. You’ll enjoy the charm of an established community known for its mature trees, distinctive homes, and welcoming feel—without sacrificing convenience. Central Market, Sunset Valley shopping and dining, local coffee shops, parks, walking trails, easy access to Garrison Pool and everyday essentials are all just minutes away, with quick access to MoPac, Highway 290/71, and Downtown Austin for an easy commute or night out.

At $379/sqft, this home is 3% below the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
