About this property
Creekside Cool on Shoal Creek โ Mid-Century Soul Meets Modern Utility >>> Tucked away on nearly half an acre (.47) along the high side banks of Shoal Creek, this 1952 ranch stuns with timeless charm and thoughtful updates. With 2,226 sq ft of living space, 4 bed, 2.5 bath, plus a detached 168 sq ft studio casita/office and a 2.5-car garage, this home is a rare creekside gem in Central Austin.
The heart of the home is warm and inviting, with natural light pouring across brand-new hardwood floors and into a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The expanded primary suite includes a show-stopping copper/nickel cowboy tubโyour personal soak sanctuary.
The pro-style kitchen is ready to impress: a $14,000 DCS dual-fuel 6-burner convection range with proofing oven and 500โ17,500 BTU performance w/flattop griddle, topped with a commercial-grade vent hood. Hosting is effortless hereโindoors and out.
Step onto a 1,000 sq ft deck built for al fresco everything: grilling with an XL Big Green Egg or Sabor LP grill, lounging, dining. The deck and outdoor kitchen overlook the lush backyard, year-round creek, and shaded by two towering 200-year-old Heritage oaks. The detached studio is nestled under the treesโideal for work, guests, or creative retreat.
Backs to a year-round creek (never floodedโeven pre-abatement!) and certified as a wildlife habitat, this property is equal parts peaceful and practical.
