Description
As unique as its namesake, the Pennybacker floorplan bridges the gorge between boredom and ordinary, delivering natural greenbelt views paired with unbeatable central convenience in Austin’s University Hills neighborhood. This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is located just six minutes from H-E-B (Mueller), The Home Depot, and Dell Children's Medical Center, placing everyday essentials right at your fingertips. Inside, a spacious loft offers the perfect setting for a home office or secondary living area, with the easy option to convert it into a fourth bedroom upon request. The living room showcases a stunning retractable glass door system that opens to a large patio and private greenbelt-facing backyard—no rear neighbors, just peaceful views. A full two-car garage with epoxy floors adds style and function, while the kitchen impresses with a gorgeous island that comfortably seats four, ceiling-height cabinetry for abundant storage, and a French drawer refrigerator, with an optional washer and dryer package available. The first-floor primary suite overlooks the greenbelt and features vaulted ceilings, a double vanity, a frameless glass walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. Built by Thurman Homes, Austin’s Green Builder of the Year, this home includes 100% foam insulation, a state-of-the-art variable speed AC system, and is solar ready—all with no HOA fees and no deed restrictions.
