Property Overview

This modern farmhouse on Ridgeway Drive offers a rare blend of urban convenience and private retreat, sitting just minutes from downtown Austin while wrapped in bamboo screening that creates a secluded sanctuary. The 1,724-square-foot home features soaring 10-foot ceilings and polished concrete floors throughout the open-concept main level, where oversized windows flood the space with natural light. The kitchen showcases dark stained cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances anchored by a generous island, flowing seamlessly into dining and living areas designed for modern living.

The three-bedroom, three-bath floor plan upstairs maximizes versatility with hardwood flooring and a dedicated flex space, while the primary suite provides a peaceful retreat. What truly sets 1158 Ridgeway Dr apart is the exceptional outdoor living space: an insulated Cowboy pool, Trex decking, and string-lit bamboo privacy screening transform the backyard into an extension of the home that feels worlds away from the city. Owned and meticulously maintained by the original owner, this 2014-built residence underwent roof replacement in 2023 and sits on a nearly half-acre lot within the established Ridgeway Condo community, with excellent Austin ISD school access and an affordable $450 annual HOA fee.

Agent Description

Tucked behind a bamboo-lined privacy fence just minutes from downtown, this modern farmhouse blends clean architectural lines with warm, inviting interiors across 1,724 square feet. One owner, owner-occupied (not a rental), and thoughtfully maintained — including a roof replacement in 2023 — this home is ready for its next chapter. Entering the home, you're welcomed by 10' ceilings, oversized windows, and polished concrete floors which combine to create a bright, open-concept living space. The kitchen anchors the main level with dark stained cabinetry, granite countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island with seating. French doors lead to a private backyard oasis complete with an insulated Cowboy pool, string-lit bamboo privacy screening, and durable Trex decking — a rare outdoor escape this close to the city center. Upstairs, hardwood floors run through a versatile floor plan which boasts 3 bedrooms plus an additional flex living space, ideal for those that work from home. Each bedroom features vaulted ceilings, adding to the home's airy and open feeling. Additional highlights include a 1-car garage plus additional reserved parking spot, low-maintenance landscaping, and new fencing. This home puts you close to East Austin's best restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife while still offering a quiet, private retreat at the end of the day. Zoned to nearby Oak Springs Elementary School, which is currently undergoing a $47 million upgrade and will reopen in 2028 as boon for the community. Next door is the Ostillo Art Foundation, a space for contemporary art exhibitions and cultural programs.
