$425,000

Own a piece of south-central Austin for under $425K — no yard work included. This 3-bedroom, 2-story home in Searight Village delivers the location, layout, and lifestyle that first-time buyers are hunting for, at a price point that's increasingly hard to find this close to downtown. The main floor is built for real life — an open kitchen with granite counters, a center island, pendant lighting, and rich cabinets with partial glass fronts flows naturally into the family room. High ceilings and oversized tile flooring make the whole space feel bigger than the square footage suggests. The primary bedroom is conveniently located downstairs with a walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, two generously sized secondary bedrooms and an oversized game room with soaring ceilings give everyone room to spread out — whether that's a home office, media setup, or guest space. The part that surprises most buyers: this single-family home comes with its own private fenced backyard, but the HOA handles all exterior landscaping and irrigation — front and back. You get the yard without the weekend obligation. A dog park in the community is a bonus if you've got a four-legged roommate. Minutes from ABIA, Tesla, shopping, dining, and downtown Austin. Two-car garage. Storage throughout. Current tenants are in place and would love to stay — making this an equally strong option for investors or buyers who aren't in a rush to move in.
