Property Overview

This East Side Dr residence in the Sherwood Oaks neighborhood showcases a thoughtfully renovated one-story floor plan with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms across 1,993 square feet. A recent gut renovation addressed essential systems—plumbing, roof, HVAC, and electrical—while preserving the home's 1960 brick-veneer charm. The interior flows seamlessly with an open living design anchored by a kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a center island, and Corian counters that opens directly to the gathering spaces where natural light pours through skylights and double-pane windows.

Two primary suites provide flexibility for extended family, guests, or a home office setup, with the main bedroom boasting a spa-like ensuite and walk-in closet. The no-step main-level layout works equally well for multigenerational living or accessibility needs. Outside, expansive sliding glass doors frame a generous backyard with mature crepe myrtles offering dappled shade, while the covered patio creates an inviting extension for dining and entertaining. At $499 per square foot, this Austin ISD property priced at $995,000 delivers significant updates and space on an over-acre lot in a mature, established neighborhood.
