Overview
Description
Backing directly to a large, private ranch with no neighbors on three sides, this corner-lot Cascades at Onion Creek single-family home offers rare Texas privacy where native deer and turkeys roam right past your back fence. This two-story layout features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, positioned to maximize the open views. The exterior features beautiful front landscaping and a built-in Teex in-wall pest control system.
The east-facing backyard receives full afternoon shade and a constant breeze, complete with a covered patio, a natural gas direct hookup for outdoor grilling, 5 newly planted trees, and a custom raised garden bed across an oversized yard providing over 1,000 square feet of extra space compared to standard area lots. Inside, an upgraded stair railing opens up the main floor living room directly to the upper level, highlighting the two-story high ceilings, a corner fireplace, and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. The open layout transitions into a kitchen packed with over $20,000 in custom upgrades, featuring a chef's gas range, dedicated pot and pan drawers, a built-in trash pull-out, granite countertops, a center island, tile backsplash, shaker cabinetry and a refrigerator equipped with three ice options, including regular, pebble, and craft.
The main level also holds a quiet dedicated home office with built-in cabinets. Upstairs, a flexible central loft sits at the top of the landing. All three bedrooms are located on this second level, each outfitted with upgraded ceiling fans.
The spacious primary suite features a wall of windows looking out over the private ranch acreage, opening into an ensuite bathroom with a dual vanity, a step-in shower, and a large walk-in closet. Situated in the high-demand 78747 zip code, Cascades at Onion Creek combines quiet living with exceptional connectivity. The property sits just two blocks from the community pool, playground, and park, all managed under a low monthly HOA.
