Property Overview

Situated on a generous corner lot in Shady Hollow's sought-after Ford Oaks Annex, 2505 Riddle Rd presents a rare opportunity to own a secluded retreat within minutes of Austin's vibrant urban core. This updated 1969 home spans 912 square feet across two bedrooms and one bath, anchored by mature trees exceeding forty feet that create a private canopy over the 0.37-acre property. The interior layout flows naturally from living to dining areas, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace and enhanced by energy-efficient windows and recent upgrades throughout.

The floor plan prioritizes functionality with both bedrooms on the main level, main-level laundry, and a welcoming deck overlooking the heavily treed yard. Central heating and cooling, along with improved insulation, keep this modest home comfortable year-round. Shady Hollow's amenities—including golf course access, pools, tennis courts, and highly-rated Austin ISD schools—combine with the property's North-facing orientation and peaceful setting to create an ideal balance of country quietness and suburban convenience.

Just moments from the Manchaca Entertainment District's restaurants and shopping, plus direct access to I-35 and MoPac, 2505 Riddle Rd offers the space and serenity that Austin buyers increasingly seek. This corner-lot property in a neighborhood known for maintenance and stability represents genuine value for those prioritizing privacy and community simultaneously.
