Property Overview
This 1972 home on Monarch Drive in the Shady Hollow neighborhood of Austin, TX has been thoughtfully reimagined with a 2021 renovation that prioritizes architectural character. Soaring vaulted ceilings flow through the three bedrooms and two bathrooms, creating an unexpected sense of spaciousness across the entire 1,772 square foot layout. The primary suite functions as a true retreat beneath these dramatic ceilings, while both secondary bedrooms feature custom built-in lofts that adapt to whatever your family needs—extra storage, play space, or quiet hideaway.
The chef's kitchen anchors the home with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a designer arabesque tile backsplash, and a gas range that invites both everyday cooking and entertaining. Major systems have all been replaced with new HVAC (2021), roof (2021), and tankless water heater (2022), meaning this home is built for reliable living without surprise expenses. The nearly 1.4-acre lot offers room to breathe in a community known for its pools, tennis courts, golf course access, and strong schools.
