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 lovely garden window and reading bench, 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 countertops, custom cabinets, a vented range hood, and a center island that can serve as dining area, the kitchen is beautiful. 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, serving also 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 offer plenty of space for clothes and a separate dressing/vanity room. 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 overlooking your private side yard. The layout and placement of the windows suffuses the home with an abundance of natural light. There is both a spacious, covered side deck and yard 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.
