Total area: 4,813 sq. feet.  The home sits 100 feet back on the gently front-sloping, 1.08 acre lot in the hills of northwest Austin.  The lot front and sides are split-rail fenced.

The 10x78 ft. front porch is wood-columned, wood-railed and ceramic-tiled.  The 20x27 foot family room has a raised hearth/log-burning fireplace, built-in bookshelves with lower cabinets, vaulted ceiling and a wall of atrium french doors opening to the 11x39 foot sunroom.  The 17x25 foot master bedroom suite adjoins the 12x16 master bathroom with two walk-in closets.  The large kitchen has white, ceramic-tiled counter tops and back-splashes, serving bar, island, glass-front cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, built-in desk with bookshelves above, walk-in pantry and adjoining breakfast area.  Hardwood floors in the entryway, family room, kitchen, breakfast area and hallways. Carpeted floors in the bedrooms, dining room and closets. Tile floors in the bathrooms, utility room and sunroom.  Windows are double-pane, white aluminum.  A covered breezeway connects the house and matching limestone-exterior, two-car garage. Front, circular driveway.

In front is a clear view of the nature preserve mountainside.  In back are open meadows, high-trimmed cedar trees, persimmon trees and a big oak tree with a tree house.  A well-shaded dry-creek bed angles across the lot from the back and off one side.  The entire lot is walkable.

The location is much like living in the country, yet it is only about 12 minutes from Lake Travis, 15 minutes from The University of Texas, 20 minutes from downtown Austin and 30 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

It is located in the highly-regarded Leander Independent School District.  About 10 minutes away are River Place Elementary School, Four Points Middle School (new) and Vandergrift High School (new).
