Property Overview

This 1972 home on Monarch Drive in Shady Hollow underwent a comprehensive transformation in 2021, emerging as a distinctive single-story residence where soaring vaulted ceilings define every major living space. The architectural feature extends through the primary suite and both secondary bedrooms, creating an uncommon sense of openness and volume that amplifies natural light throughout the home. The primary retreat benefits from abundant windows beneath those same dramatic ceilings, while the secondary bedrooms showcase custom built-in lofts that provide flexible bonus space perfect for storage, a creative studio, or guest accommodations. The chef's kitchen anchors the home with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a designer arabesque tile backsplash, and a gas range.

All major systems have been recently updated: a new HVAC system installed in July 2021, a new roof in December 2021, and a tankless water heater in March 2022. Sitting on just under 13,700 square feet in the well-maintained Shady Hollow community, the home benefits from proximity to the golf course, pools, tennis facilities, and excellent schools. At $589,000, this updated residence represents a distinctive offering in one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods with proven infrastructure and amenities.
