Some homes you walk into and just feel it. This is one of those. Tucked into The Fairways, a quiet 50-home enclave along the OMNI Fazio Course, the Pinehurst plan delivers nearly 3,800 square feet that somehow feels both expansive and easy all at once. The secret is in the layout. A beautiful primary suite sits on the main floor, so when it's just you, the home wraps around you on one level—no stairs, no fuss. But when the house fills up with family or friends, a second primary suite downstairs gives everyone room to breathe. It's the kind of flexibility you don't find often, and once you have it, you wonder how you ever lived without it. The kitchen is the heart of the place, and it's been done right. Quartzite counters, a broad island that pulls people in, a gas range, and pro-grade appliances—this is a kitchen made for actual cooking, not just looking at. It spills into the living area where a gas-log fireplace sets the tone and those big windows frame the first fairway like a piece of art. Brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring ties it all together. The upgrades go deeper than what you see. Programmable HVAC, smart home features, Smart Glass privacy windows, and spa-like baths with bidets—the owners thought through the details so you don't have to. Outside, two covered terraces give you space to take in the view, whether you're easing into the morning or toasting the end of a long day. Two-car attached garage, plus a separate bay for the golf cart. And yes, you'll use it—The Fairways is one of only two OMNI communities where you can drive your own cart straight to the course. A transferable Barton Creek Country Club social membership, the Greenbelt, St. Michael's, and downtown Austin about 20 minutes out. The PGA Tour's 2026 Good Good Championship is coming to this course. You'll be watching from your terrace.

Two complete residences at one Bouldin Creek address. Built in 2020, 702 W Elizabeth pairs a light-filled, three-story main house (3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2,818 SF) with a fully independent casita (2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1,010 SF) with its own entrance, full kitchen, and living space. It's flexibility a single-family home can't offer: room for extended family with real privacy, a dedicated studio or office, or a long-term rental just steps from your back door. Inside, the main house opens around 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and an easy open plan built for everyday living and entertaining alike. Both homes are appointed with Wolf appliances and Sub-Zero refrigeration, with gas ranges in each. In the main kitchen the range anchors the island, backed by a convection oven/microwave, a second oven, and a second freezer. Full Toto bidets, instant-hot water taps, and whole-house Aquasana filtration mean even the tap water is a quiet luxury. The third floor is the showpiece: a full wet bar and sweeping views of the downtown Austin skyline, a panorama framed by a neighborhood already built out around it. Morning coffee, evening cocktails, fireworks over the city. This is the room guests won't leave. Every system is quietly intelligent: Lutron lighting, motorized shades in both homes, Nest climate, and a heated pool and spa managed remotely, swimmable year-round. A gas outdoor fireplace completes the backyard, plus a wood-burning fire pit at the casita, wrapped in landscaped, irrigated grounds. EV charging in both garages, an air-conditioned front garage that doubles as a gym, studio, or game room, a package slot built into the front gate, and an elevator-ready shaft with wiring and hookups in place for single-level living down the road. All of it sits blocks from South Congress and minutes to downtown and Lady Bird Lake, with no HOA. 3,828 SF of total living space on a 5,746 SF lot. Two homes, one address, in the neighborhood everyone wants to walk to.
