The owners renovated this Northwood home with thoughtful attention to detail. It wasn’t about making everything look new as quickly as possible. The house was taken down to the studs, the layout was thoughtfully reworked.

The result is a 1,420-square-foot jewel box under the live oaks in Northwood: small enough to feel cozy, but open, bright, and incredibly well used.

The main living space has vaulted ceilings, a warm wood beam, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and French doors opening onto the covered back patio and yard. The kitchen was redesigned with architect and engineer plans, with custom cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz counters, a large island, walk-in pantry, farmhouse sink, gas cooktop, double ovens, and built-in-style refrigerator.

The primary suite has another beamed ceiling, a walk-in closets, and a beautiful primary bath with herringbone marble floors, brass fixtures, glass walk-in shower, and double vanity.

But this renovation isn’t just pretty. There’s new HVAC and ductwork, upgraded electrical service and wiring, updated plumbing, new windows, new insulation and drywall where needed, new flooring, doors, trim and lighting, plus extensive exterior work, fencing and landscaping. You will be the first to enjoy the renovations, everything untouched.

And then there’s the location. Northwood is quiet, established, family-friendly, and full of mature trees, while still feeling connected to Austin. Coffee, pizza, and some seriously good sushi are right nearby. The MoPac Express entrance is minutes away, making the downtown commute surprisingly straightforward.

This isn’t a giant house trying to be everything. It’s a really good home, done really well.
