About this property

On a rare flat lot in beloved Rolling Hills West, this limestone single-story ranch style house offers the opportunity for homeowners to dream big in every way. Built in 1980 and cared for by the current owner since 1996, the home is 2,649 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths—and because the home is set in the middle of the large usable lot, it’s the perfect footprint for a new owner to build up or build out with a low 1.4% property tax rate and Travis County restrictions for remodeling or rebuilding. In addition to the beauty of the lot, the conveniences it provides are highly sought after in the Westlake community. It is in very close proximity to award-winning schools Cedar Creek Elementary, Hill Country Middle School, and Westlake High School. It is also within walking distance to the Westbank Community Library and beloved shops and restaurants like Texas Honey Ham, Trianon Coffee, Breed & Co., and Barton Springs Nursery. Although these community treasures are just a stone’s throw away, the home’s location also provides the chance at private luxury at a desired address. The home is plumbed for gas, and although currently on septic, a city sewer line has been run and the house can easily be connected with a permit and payment of a tap fee to the city of Austin A new HVAC and furnace were installed in 2021, along with new Hardi-board and paint along the rear, and the septic was inspected and repaired. A termite inspection was performed last year, and no issues were found. This property is a rare find and will easily be transformed into a legacy property in the heart of Westlake.
