Charming home in Cardinal Hills on over a quarter acre nestled in nature, yet minutes from Lakeway amenities. Between its easy access to Lake Travis and Lake Austin and its backyard accented by splendid oak trees and an especially quiet sense of privacy afforded by its placement, directly backed to a serene view of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, this home is the perfect natural retreat.  Imagine enjoying your morning coffee while watching the sun rise over the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve! This beautifully well-maintained home welcomes you in with a living room that features soaring ceilings, an inviting wood-burning fireplace nestled in a floor-to-ceiling stone hearth, and oversized windows which invite natural light into both ends of the main living area, featuring a generally eastern exposure. Pleasant touches, including the white exterior stonework and a partially xeriscaped front yard with Texas native plants give this home its charm. The lovely owner’s suite features a spacious ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a large soaking tub. Low-maintenance, stained concrete floors offer a natural, understated appeal that brightens the home throughout. Enjoy a spacious 0.28 acre lot that features an expansive backyard lawn- one just large enough to include several splendid, manicured oak trees, plenty of space to run and play, and room for an RV and/or boat. Plenty of parks, restaurants, and shopping in the area. Located in the Lake Travis Independent School District with no HOA.
