Property Overview

This 1801 Sun Lake residence in Round Rock sits on an exceptional 27,442-square-foot lot—a rare find in the Austin area where spacious, tree-lined properties command premium value. The home's most compelling asset is its setting: mature shade trees, spring-fed ponds, and the established character of Tonkawa Springs, where thoughtful land stewardship defines the neighborhood's appeal. The 3,292 square feet of living space has been sensitively updated to honor the home's 1983 bones while introducing modern comfort, including triple-pane vinyl windows, acacia wood flooring, and a chef-caliber kitchen anchored by a Fratelli Onofri double gas range and built-in wall oven.

Four generously proportioned bedrooms plus two flex rooms create exceptional flexibility for growing families, remote professionals, or those seeking dedicated hobby spaces. The gameroom features a distinctive focal point: reclaimed wood salvaged from Camp Mabry, adding authentic character often absent from standard renovations. Throughout the home, thoughtful storage solutions and well-proportioned rooms reflect an owner who prioritized livability over square footage alone.

The backyard realizes the primary asset: a sprawling outdoor canvas with room for pools, gardens, gathering spaces, and genuine privacy. At $251 per square foot, this represents accessible pricing for Round Rock's current market while the property's land value and distinctive neighborhood setting distinguish it from typical suburban offerings.

Agent Description

In a world of cookie-cutter subdivisions and tiny backyards, Tonkawa Springs offers something increasingly rare: room to spread out, mature trees, spring-fed ponds, and a neighborhood where nature and community still take center stage. Set beneath mature shade trees on a spacious lot, this thoughtfully updated home features four bedrooms plus two additional flex rooms that can easily serve as guest rooms, home offices, a gym, craft room, playroom, or homeschool space. Every bedroom is generously sized, and abundant storage throughout helps keep daily life organized. Recent improvements blend comfort and character, including triple-pane vinyl windows, beautiful acacia wood flooring, and a chef-inspired kitchen equipped with a Fratelli Onofri double gas range, built-in wall oven, and microwave. The gameroom showcases reclaimed wood from Camp Mabry, creating a one-of-a-kind focal point. The backyard was designed for gathering. Whether you're hosting pool parties, roasting marshmallows around the firepit, watching the game from the cabana bar, or enjoying a quiet evening beneath the heritage oak, there is room here to create memories for years to come. A large composite deck expands the entertaining space, while the magnificent heritage oak provides shade, beauty, and plenty of room for backyard adventures. For buyers seeking additional backyard privacy, landscaping or 6-foot wood privacy fencing would allow you to customize the outdoor space to your preferences. (But you may find you WANT to get to know the neighbors-they are pretty great!) Tonkawa Springs remains one of Round Rock's most distinctive neighborhoods, known for its spring-fed ponds, abundant wildlife, mature trees, oversized homesites, and strong sense of community—all just minutes from top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and major employers. Opportunities in this neighborhood don't come up very often, so don't miss your chance!
