With stunning views of downtown Austin, this lock-and-leave retreat offers the best of both worlds: serene canyon and city views with effortless access to the Austin lifestyle in the gated community of Hillside. Designed for low-maintenance living, the home blends warm textures, thoughtful details, and open, light-filled spaces to create a true haven. The living room is expansive, with vaulted ceilings and walls of windows framing the greenbelt and downtown views. A dramatic tiled wall flanks the gas fireplace, complemented by built-in cabinetry and a sleek bar for entertaining. Every angle invites you to pause and take in the view. Engineered wood floors lead into an inviting kitchen with espresso cabinets and granite countertops. A suite of premium Dacor appliances, stainless vent hood, and patterned backsplash set the stage for cooking, while three pendant lights cast a welcoming glow. The dining area overlooks rolling hills, with a private balcony perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with tall ceilings and its own balcony overlooking the landscaped surroundings. The spa-inspired bath features a glass-enclosed shower with soaking tub, granite counters, double sinks, and a large walk-in closet. The secondary bedroom boasts high ceilings, plush carpet, and its own balcony to enjoy the sounds of nature. A desk nook with granite countertop offers a quiet workspace, while additional flex spaces allow for study, storage, or extra sleeping. A large two-car garage completes the property. Outside, the community pool sits just two doors down for easy access. Within minutes, Austin’s most popular hiking trails and lakefront dining at Ski Shores offer endless opportunities for exploration. Whether heading out for a hike or taking in the skyline from your balcony, life here moves at your pace—peaceful, effortless, and connected.
