At the quieter, north end of Duval, the location is just a few minutes walk from Home Slice, Foreign & Domestic, Drink Well, and the many other shops, bars and eateries on North Loop; with easy bike access to all things Hyde Park/Central Austin has to offer. This contemporary home feels both luxurious and cozy as you enter with a gas insert fireplace, high ceilings and recessed lighting. The thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen is open to your living and dining space, creating a welcoming space to entertain. Showcasing granite coutertops, custom cabinets, a vented range hood, and a center island that can serve as dining area, the kitchen is beautiful. The oversize front window flanked by an elegant gas fireplace exudes an inviting, luminous and charming place to gather and spend time. A wall of windows in the first floor hall illuminates the office niche and entry to the guest bedroom and full bath. Completing the spaces downstairs is a small foyer and a large laundry room that doubles as a pantry. The secluded owner's retreat on the second floor boasts a bright, peaceful bath suite, including stylish fixtures, marble counters, dual vanities and a rain shower head in the spacious walk-in shower. The two large walk-in closets afford additional space for the owners. As well as two additional bedrooms and a shared full bath, the upstairs includes a secondary living space, perfect for games, media or workout space, and a lovely balcony. The layout and placement of the windows suffuses the home with an abundance of natural light, letting the outdoor living spaces feel as part of the house. There is both a spacious, covered side deck, that allows you to enjoy all the Austin weather, and a small, private backyard that includes a hot tub and a cowboy pool. Attached garage and carport are located behind the home with alley access.
