Single-story living in Shady Hollow, with the big-ticket work already done. This brick home offers 2,636 sq ft on one level, two living areas, an open floor plan, and not a single step inside.

The kitchen is where everyone ends up. A skylight brightens the granite counters, full-height backsplash, painted white cabinetry, center island, and breakfast bar, with stainless appliances including a gas range, plus a pantry. It opens to the main living area, where a gas fireplace anchors the room and French doors lead out to the patio. A second living area at the front of the home works as a media room, reading room, or anything in between.

The primary suite has high ceilings, a bay window overlooking the backyard, two walk-in closets, a double vanity, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Three more bedrooms and a full hall bath round out the plan. The fifth bedroom is set up as a dual home office with built-in desks and cabinetry. Keep it as is, or the seller will remove the built-ins before closing to return it to a bedroom.

The expensive work is behind you: impact-resistant roof and gutters (April 2024), exterior paint and an 8-foot privacy fence (November 2024), and popcorn ceiling removal and interior paint touch-ups (September 2026). That leaves your budget for the finishes you’d want to pick yourself.

Out back, the fenced yard has a patio, large shade trees, and an in-ground sprinkler system. There’s also a 2-car attached garage and a laundry room with a utility sink. Shady Hollow amenities include a pool, clubhouse, park, playground, tennis and sport courts, and walking trails, for an HOA of $560 a year. Zoned to Austin ISD’s Baranoff Elementary, Bailey Middle, and Bowie High. Minutes from Brodie Lane, Menchaca Road, and FM 1626.
