Let's Start With the Unglamorous Stuff -- Because It Matters

Before the fireplace and the greenbelt views, let's talk about the things that actually protect your investment. This home has a recently replaced roof, water heater, and HVAC system. Those three items alone can run $20,000 to $35,000 when they need replacing, and here they are already done.

It may not make for a dramatic listing photo, but it absolutely matters when you are deciding where to put your money.

A Room-by-Room Look

  • Entryway

    A true foyer -- not just a door that opens into the living room. There is shelving and a clear sense of arrival when you walk in. It sounds like a small detail, but it changes the whole feel of the home.

  • Secondary Bedrooms (x2)

    Two spacious bedrooms on the right side of the home, served by a full hall bath between them. One features hardwood flooring and a large closet with views of a beautiful oak tree out the window. The other has Berber carpet and an organized closet -- a natural guest room or kids' room setup.

  • Third Bedroom / Study

    Currently staged as a home office but totally flexible -- use it as a bedroom, a playroom, or a creative space. Bright, light, and well-proportioned with its own closet.

  • Primary Suite

    Large and private, with the same wood-look tile that runs through the main living areas. Tall ceilings, a super spacious closet, and an updated bath featuring quartz countertops and a subway tile shower. The upgrades throughout this room are noticeable.

  • Living Room

    Spacious and open, anchored by a shiplap fireplace with a gorgeous mantle. The layout flows naturally into both dining areas and the kitchen, making this a home that works for everyday life and for entertaining.

  • Dining Areas

    Two distinct dining spaces -- a breakfast nook positioned to look directly out at the greenbelt, and a larger formal-ish dining area that could just as easily serve as a play space or a second work-from-home setup.

  • Kitchen

    Bright, light cabinetry paired with stainless steel appliances and updated countertops. It is the kind of kitchen that does not need a renovation -- just your groceries.

  • The Backyard

    This is the icing on the cake. The Stone Oak Preserve sits directly behind the home -- a true greenbelt that will not be developed. The current owners intentionally left the back fence open because they enjoy the wildlife, including the occasional deer. That is an easy fix if you want the fence closed, but the nature is yours to keep either way.

The Stone Oak Preserve is a protected natural area -- which means the views and the privacy you see today are not going anywhere. You are not looking at a future construction site. You are looking at trees, wildlife, and quiet, and that is what you will be looking at for as long as you own this home.

What Makes This Property Stand Out

Backs directly to the Stone Oak Preserve. Protected natural space with no future development.

Four bedrooms on a single level. Great for families, multigenerational living, or aging in place.

Flexible Floor Plan

Updated Throughout

Wood-look tile, shiplap fireplace, quartz baths, fresh kitchen -- cosmetic work already handled.

Low HOA

Just $39/month in Preserve at Stone Oak. Neighborhood amenities without a heavy monthly bill.

Two of Round Rock's Most Sought-After Schools

School zoning at this address is genuinely one of the strongest selling points. Chandler Oaks Elementary and Walsh Ranch Middle School are consistently among the most in-demand campuses in Round Rock ISD -- and this home feeds directly into both.

10/10
Chandler Oaks Elementary
Round Rock ISD  |  Elementary
9/10
Walsh Ranch Middle School
Round Rock ISD  |  Middle School

For families with school-age children, this zoning combination is hard to beat in the price range. It is one of the reasons homes in this pocket of Round Rock tend to move quickly when they hit the market.

A Note from Jessica

I love showing this home. At just under 1,700 square feet, it does not feel small -- the layout is smart, everything flows, and nothing feels like wasted space. But what really sets it apart is the backyard. When you step out and see the Stone Oak Preserve stretching out behind you, it clicks. That is the kind of thing you do not find in this price range very often.

Add in the school zoning, the recently replaced major systems, and the cosmetic upgrades that are already done -- this is a home you can move into with confidence. If you have been looking and coming up short, I genuinely think this one is worth a walk-through.
