This adorable single-story home offers two bedrooms, one updated full bathroom, and a 192 sq. ft. detached backhouse/office (included in the main home’s square footage). Built in 2019, the detached unit features oak flooring, abundant natural light, and a mini-split system for heating and cooling—perfect for an office, studio, or guest space. Don't miss the incredible fenced backyard that includes an attached screened on porch that is the perfect place for evening dinners or watching your favorite sports game and a Cowboy Pool.

Take one question to the showing
Which of these projects shares an entrance, street or daily route with this home? Verify the site boundary and current case status before treating it as relevant.
Project counts use source-reported ZIPs and exclude registrations identifying counties outside Travis, Williamson and Hays. Missing county and remaining address/ZIP mismatches require verification; this is not a spatial boundary audit.
