THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

There’s something special about homes in Western Trails - mature trees, generous lots, and architecture with personality. Beautiful Austin Stone home set on a spacious corner lot with beautiful native foliage, this updated home captures everything people love about this established South Austin neighborhood. Mature trees, lush landscaping (thriving for years even in extreme heat), and a large private backyard including ready to plant garden beds create a peaceful setting that’s increasingly hard to find, while the expansive patio offers plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet evening.

Inside, rich hardwood floors, abundant natural light from newer black-framed windows, and a cozy wood burning fireplace create warm, inviting living spaces. The renovated kitchen and bathrooms strike the perfect balance between classic style and modern functionality, making the home feel both current and comfortable.

One of the home’s standout features is its unique layout. Two oversized bedrooms anchor opposite ends of the home, each with direct access to a full bath. One as a true primary suite and the other connected through a shared hall bath offering exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or anyone looking for added privacy.

Rest easy knowing the home conveys with Fridge, Washer, Dryer (2021) and has a newer HVAC (2023), Water Heater (2024), Dishwasher (2023).

Just as compelling as the home itself is the location. You’ll enjoy the charm of an established community known for its mature trees, distinctive homes, and welcoming feel—without sacrificing convenience. Central Market, Sunset Valley shopping and dining, local coffee shops, parks, walking trails, easy access to Garrison Pool and everyday essentials are all just minutes away, with quick access to MoPac, Highway 290/71, and Downtown Austin for an easy commute or night out.

How this scenario is calculated

Annual operating income is rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA and other operating costs, before financing and capital reserves. Cap rate divides annual operating income by purchase price. Estimated monthly cash flow assumes an all-cash purchase: rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, other operating costs and capital reserves. No mortgage payment is deducted. The mortgage calculator is separate; loan payments would reduce cash flow for a financed purchase. One-time acquisition costs, renovations, income taxes, depreciation and appreciation are excluded.

Mortgage assumptions

20% down and 7% interest are illustrative starting values.

Estimated monthly principal & interestLoan payment only. Excludes property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues.

About this payment estimate

Based on a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with monthly payments and the price, down payment, interest rate and term you select. The interest rate is an example, not a current rate offer or APR; APR includes certain loan costs. This is an illustration, not a Loan Estimate, approval, offer of credit or commitment to lend.

Your actual payment, rate and eligibility depend on your lender, credit, loan program and property. Closing costs, points, prepaid expenses and lender fees are not included. Taxes and insurance may change, and mortgage insurance may be required, particularly with a down payment below 20%. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate and a complete monthly payment including applicable taxes, insurance and fees.

Dollar results are rounded to the nearest cent; calculations retain precision until display. A cash purchase has no loan payment but still has ownership costs. Understand your total home payment (CFPB).
