This charming Austin stone cottage offers a masterclass in purposeful design, blending original character with high-quality modern updates. The exterior sets the tone with fresh fascia and new black-frame windows that pop against the classic stone. Inside, the home feels warm and cohesive. The original hardwood floors have been beautifully refinished, and the kitchen has been modernized with new cabinetry, stone countertops, and a clean tile backsplash. The standout is the bathroom, which was stripped to the studs and rebuilt with custom white oak cabinets, designer tile, and premium Kohler fixtures, including a rainfall shower. The backyard was redone with entertaining in mind, featuring extensive new hardscape and concrete work and gardens. Relax in the cowboy pool, host friends on the gravel patio, or utilize the extra concrete pad for flexible outdoor living. With a new fence and convenient alley access, the layout offers rare versatility for the neighborhood. The location is exceptionally walkable, putting Sprouts, 24 Hour Fitness, and Chipotle just a stroll away, with a new Starbucks opening this summer. This is a move-in-ready gem where city living meet your peaceful oasis.
