Why buy new only to start upgrading it? Set on a desirable corner lot in Easton Park, this nearly new home has already moved well beyond the builder basics, without a construction wait or a post-closing project list. White picket fencing, covered front and side porches and upgraded flower beds give the home a quaint first impression.

Inside, the main level is arranged around one connected kitchen, living and dining space. The kitchen features granite countertops, SS appliances, generous cabinetry and a center island with seating, keeping the cook part of the conversation during dinner prep. Upstairs, upgraded carpet runs through all three bedrooms, each finished with upgraded fan and light fixtures.

The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and its own ensuite, while two secondary bedrooms can shift between guest space, an office or hobbies as needed. Updated bathroom lighting, a new half-bath vanity, oil-rubbed bronze plumbing fixtures, upgraded door hardware and an upgraded primary shower door take care of details buyers often end up changing later. Outside, the private fenced yard trades constant mowing for turf, stepping stones and established flower beds.

Even the two-car garage received attention, with epoxy flooring, overhead storage and an EV charging outlet already in place. Easton Park adds another dimension entirely. The Union earns its name by bringing together a resort-style pool, full fitness center, game room, coworking and conference spaces.

Parks, playgrounds, dog-friendly spaces and a planned 13.1-mile trail system extend throughout the community. Newton Collins Elementary is within walking distance, McKinney Falls State Park is nearby and downtown Austin is approximately 12 miles away. This home is already several steps ahead of the nearby new builds, the upgrades are finished, the yard is done and the best of Easton Park is right outside the door.

Why start with builder basics when you can skip straight to the good part?
