Agent Description

There's a moment that happens every evening at 5406 Buffalo Pass. The city hums just beyond the tree line, but back here — where the yard opens to an expansive green space with no rooftops, no fences, no neighbors — it goes quiet. You pour something cold, step outside, and wonder how something this private exists in the middle of 78745. That feeling didn't happen by accident. It was designed. This architecturally reimagined Mid-Century Stunner is a ground-up transformation — a sleek full-stucco exterior, a new lifelong standing-seam metal roof, stained 1x6 V-Groove soffits for architectural depth, new plumbing, new electrical, new HVAC, new windows — every system replaced, every detail intentional, every permit pulled. Walk in, and you feel it immediately. Ten-and-a-half-inch white oak floors. Level 5 museum-quality walls. Artisan-built Crittall doors and windows that fill the home with natural light. Black aluminum casement windows throughout. Luxury kitchen: rift-sawn white oak cabinetry, a 36" six-burner Forno gas range with pot filler, quartzite counters, and a beverage cooler that's ready before your guests are. The primary suite is the hotel you never check out of. Zero-threshold spa shower with thermostatic controls, body jets, and LED mood lighting. A 60" freestanding soaking tub. Built-in closet system. Spray foam envelope. Tankless water heater with instant hot water recirculation. EV-ready garage. Smart irrigation. New Driveway. The studio apartment with a full bath flexes for whatever life throws at you — in-laws, a nanny, or rental income. And when you venture out, Central Market, Captain Quack's, and Radio Coffee are a bike ride away. Barton Creek is minutes out. Brodie Oaks redevelopment is around the corner. Downtown is 7 miles. The airport is 10. But you'll come home. Because somewhere between the city and the country, between the skyline and the tree line, this backyard found a pocket of peace that most people spend a lifetime searching for.
