Set on a spacious lot in the highly sought-after Cat Mountain Villas community, this thoughtfully designed split-level home blends architectural character with a serene, tree-filled backdrop. A dramatic entry welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings in the living and dining areas, where a striking wall of windows frames peaceful backyard views and the expansive wraparound deck seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living while filling the home with natural light. The kitchen continues the airy feel with its own vaulted ceiling, generous counter space, and an inviting breakfast nook perfect for everyday meals or casual gatherings. A main-level bedroom and full bath offer exceptional flexibility for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. Downstairs, the private primary suite serves as a quiet retreat, featuring French doors that open to the lower patio and two walk-in closets for abundant storage.

Recent updates include double-pane windows, HVAC replaced approximately four years ago, removal of popcorn ceilings, and fresh interior paint throughout offering buyers a solid foundation to customize and add value. With cosmetic updates such as flooring, lighting, and kitchen finishes, this home presents a compelling opportunity in one of Northwest Austins most established hillside communities. Multiple outdoor living areas, mature trees, and a distinctive layout that balances openness with privacy make this Cat Mountain property a rare opportunity in a prime 78731 location.
