Turnkey South Austin Masterpiece with Premium Upgrades & Backyard Oasis

Welcome home to 8406 Washita Drive, a stunning single-family retreat nestled in the highly sought-after Maple Run community. Offering 1,468 square feet of thoughtfully upgraded living space, this home is completely turnkey. It features durable Hardie siding, all-new energy efficient windows installed throughout in 2024, alongside a complete top-to-bottom interior remodel in late 2025.

Enter into a light-filled layout showcasing all-new, beautiful engineered hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the entire home—completely carpet-free! The welcoming living space is anchored by a show-stopping custom herringbone tile fireplace, ideal for serving as a stylish backdrop for entertaining. The heart of the home is the brand-new, fully reimagined kitchen, boasting custom cabinetry and high-end GE Profile appliances, and stunning quartz countertops, making it a dream for home chefs. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer private, peaceful sanctuaries separate from the main living areas.

The luxury extends outdoors to your private, fenced backyard, where you can entertain in style on a gorgeous custom flagstone patio—the perfect spot for evening dining or morning coffee under the Texas sky.

This property delivers the ultimate South Austin lifestyle. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being just minutes away from the stunning Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and the Veloway, a premier 3-mile paved loop dedicated entirely to cyclists and rollerbladers. Your day-to-day routine is effortless, too; situated just off Brodie Lane and minutes from MoPac, you are a stone’s throw from the Shops at Arbor Trails (Whole Foods, Costco, H-E-B, and local eateries).

With its established, tree-lined neighborhood vibe, 8406 Washita Drive is a rare, energy-efficient, turn-key find. Don't miss the chance to make it yours!
