Agent Description

This move-in-ready mid-century home preserves its original charm while offering extensive, thoughtful updates for today’s lifestyle. The home features a smart, efficient layout that lives comfortably and flows beautifully. The light-filled space is anchored by large front windows in the living room and primary bedroom, with luxury vinyl plank flooring downstairs and restored original pine hardwood floors upstairs, uncovered and refinished after the current owners’ purchase in 2021. A fully permitted primary bathroom addition was also completed after the current owners' purchase in 2021 and creates a true retreat featuring dual vanities and a large walk-in shower with dual shower-heads. Smart custom storage is integrated throughout, including a redesigned under-stair area with a pantry, deep coat and storage closet, and custom pull-out shoe racks, as well as custom Elfa closet systems and custom built-in bookshelves in the upstairs bedrooms. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including replacement of the original cast iron plumbing with PVC and replacement of the windows by the prior owners, replacement of the roof by the current owners, and a newer HVAC system installed around 2020/2021 that has been serviced and maintained. Energy-efficient upgrades include mini-split A/C units upstairs, added insulation, radiant barrier, and an attic fan. The home has also been pre-inspected, offering buyers added confidence in its condition. Outside, the private backyard offers a covered patio, newer fencing, and thoughtful landscaping, along with a rare sense of space with only one direct neighbor. The neighborhood itself is a standout - friendly, active, and community-oriented, with neighbors often out walking their dogs or kids and a strong sense of connection fostered through regular neighborhood events. All of this is set in a friendly, community-oriented neighborhood just minutes from downtown Austin, UT, Q2 Stadium, parks, restaurants, and coffee shops.
