FREEDOM and PEACE – the home that abundantly provides both. Here you are free to park your RV and your boat, one in the garage and one inside the side gate. You are free to hit the water of Lake Austin from the public boat launch a half mile away. You are free to wander the tree-filled streets and down to the lake for incredibly peace and quiet. You are free to garden in the huge backyard or sit and relax in 3 separate fenced areas and take in the peace of natural land behind you. You are also free from any HOAs, their dues, or rules, and free from high taxes with the rate being 1.72% in 2024. Through the front door, there is open living including the kitchen, family room and dining. Then there is the most amazing primary suite. It includes a large bedroom with a closet, a private sitting area with a fireplace overlooking the side yard, a primary bath with dual counters, a spa tub, separate shower, and private commode area. Then there is the combination laundry room/primary closet that leads into the sauna room. No need to ever leave home. The stairs lead up to a huge game room with a wet bar and refrigerator. This room connects to a huge upstairs balcony, another place to peacefully sit and chill. Just off the game room is a designated media room ready for your movie night or gaming matches. Also off the game room is a small room with a closet and window that is the designated office. Now, you are free to work uninterrupted from home if you wish. Down the hall are 2 bedrooms and a full bath. Leander schools await the youngsters in this area as well as nearby Quinlan Park with its play area and boat launch. Shopping is nearby as well as major roads to Austin, Lake Travis, and central Texas. Come experience the incredible peace of this home and live free.
