Your private escape in the heart of Round Rock

Have you thought about moving, need more space but just weren't sure with interest rates having risen to the 8's? Well, take a look at this beauty in the highly coveted Round Rock community of  Forest Ridge on a nice, peaceful cul-de-sac street. Interest rates have come down into the low 7's and most lenders are offering zero lender fees when you refinance once rates stabilize more. Not to mention, and in most cases, it makes more sense for a buyer to ask for a seller credit to buy the rate down and offset that with a a corresponding increase in offer price. Buying down the rate can save you several hundreds of dollars on your monthly payments the first year or two (depending on how you structure a rate buydown) vs. saving much less per month with a lower price. The logic is to save the money using the buydown and then refinance before your payments level off at the non-discounted rate (if rates go down more in the next 24 months, which very logical minds are predicting).

 

Back to 3013 Blue Sky Place.....this beautiful, one-story home is literally around the corner from the community park & pool. It is nestled off of Forest Ridge, a few blocks west of Forest Creek and feeds into the very popular Forest Creek Elementary School. AND with winter coming, this property is located in what has been a very reliable power grid.

 

Walking up to the front porch, you and your guests will love the lush green lawn. The hard work has been done establishing this beautiful lawn with it's mature trees. The covered front porch leads to the gorgeous beveled glass & wrought iron inlaid door that opens up to a dramatic foyer complete with classic chandelier and inlaid tile accent in the floor - and of course an art niche for you to show off artwork, family portrait....  The home has just under 2900SF, with 4 bedrooms plus a study, roomy formal and informal dining areas, two living areas and so much storage throughout!

 

Conveniently located off the entry hall is, bathroom #2 - a show-stopper with it's stylish geometric accent tile wall in the shower, the black & white accents coordinate with the modern vessel sink, and the light fixture ties all of the updates together very chicly.

 

Besides the aesthetics, the beauty of this home is all of the space, with the two dining areas AND study and two living areas, you have lots of options as far as how you use every room. For instance, the 2nd living area is huge and allows a ton of natural light into the room with two walls of windows and two skylights - this would be a perfect room for an art studio, crafting, homeschooling, exercise.... being in this room with it's off-white paneled walls and so much natural light will brighten any mood and invigorate the spirit! This large, flexible  room would also work great for a multi-gen, roommate or nanny situation - as this room has it's own entrance from the backyard and has a door directly into Bedroom #2. The french doors separating this large space from the main living area were removed, but if a privacy door is needed, it is framed and ready to go!

 

Many people no longer want or need a formal dining room, when there is an ample informal dining area right off the kitchen. This formal area is just off the entrance, across the foyer from the office with it's french doors. This space would make a great playroom, exercise room, library/reading room to curl up with a good book! It could also be a 2nd office space-there are many potential uses for this room!

 

Moving on to the roomy, remodeled kitchen with its trendy black cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel applicances. Tis the season to bake and there is plenty of counter space to lay that cookie dough out to cut and decorate!

 

Be sure to check out the centerpiece of the living room - the fireplace with it's beautiful travertine tile surround and inlaid tile hearth. The accents on the fireplace mantel add to the casual elegance of the room. 

 

The master bedroom is roomy enough for a full suite of furniture, and the bathing suite has been very nicely upgraded with the vessel sinks, seamless shower with river rock accents, and don't forget to check out the master closet - fully lined in cedar! 

 

All closets are walk-in and have the ELFA closet system installed, giving you the flexibility to rearrange, add or remove rods or shelves to suit your needs! The bedrooms all include ceiling fans, and other designer accents. The lilac walls you see in BR #3 photos have been painted to neutral to match the bottom half and give you a canvas to personalize as you wish.

 

I haven't even mentioned the wonderfully shaded, peaceful backyard with it's gazebo...this property needs to be seen in person to really feel the warmth and ambience and experience the serenity of the location.

 

When you do need to leave the house, it is very conveniently located near 3 HEB's (two pluses and the closest store at the corner of Red Bud & Gattis), restaurants including the variety at Kalahari; the Dell Diamond with the Salt Lick, the Play for All Abilities Park and Old Settlers Park and ball fields; SH130 & SH45 aren't far and will take you to the airport, downtown Austin, UT and East to Cedar Park, out to the lake or up IH35 to historic Georgetown. Sam's & Costco are 10-15 minutes; medical facilities all along University - you really have just about everything you need within a 5-15 minute drive!

 

So there you have it, an overview of a wonderful property that is waiting for it's new owner...if that could be you, let's talk!
