5503 Basswood Lane, Austin
MLS® # 2420504
From the start, it’s clear this home has a personality all its own. It sits among the rolling streets and mature trees of University Hills, where the architecture changes from one house to the next. White cabinetry and floating shelves keep the kitchen bright, while butcher-block counters add warmth and a wide peninsula gives friends a place to pull up a stool and stay in the conversation. The adjoining dining area leads into a vaulted living room defined by exposed wood beams and a stone accent wall framing the fireplace, details that take the room well beyond basic. French doors open directly to the covered back deck, carrying the gathering space beyond the living room. All three bedrooms and both full baths are arranged on one level, while a laundry room gives household supplies and overflow a place of their own. Out back, the covered deck has enough room for a full dining table, grill and multiple seating areas without anyone balancing a plate on their lap. Beyond the railing, the fenced yard sits beneath mature trees, including a broad-canopied oak that brings plenty of shade. The detached shed has electricity, heat and AC, opening up possibilities well beyond storage. Use it as a workshop, art studio, home gym or a separate place to work without giving up a bedroom. Dottie Jordan Park is just a two-minute walk away, putting its public pool and shaded grounds practically around the corner. Mueller’s farmers market, restaurants and Alamo Drafthouse are about five minutes away, with downtown, the airport, The Domain and COTA all within easy reach. With big trees overhead, a deck built for company and a park-and-pool routine just down the street, life here comes with a rhythm all its own. *Pre-inspection completed for buyer confidence*
