About this home

Extensive upgrades include a new roof, windows, gutters, and interior and exterior paint in 2026, plus a Lennox two-stage HVAC system installed in 2022. They don't build them like this anymore. Four sides of stone, majestic oak trees, 1.5 acres, and substantial improvements by the original owners distinguish this single-story Driftwood home. Set well back from the road, the property enjoys open skies, apple trees, and greenspace beyond the backyard. The quality of construction is matched by years of attentive ownership and investment in the property. Inside, rich wood floors, generous room sizes, and large windows give the home a sense of warmth and substance. The floor plan includes formal dining, an inviting family room with a gas fireplace, and a kitchen designed for serious cooking. Shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island, and abundant storage are joined by a Monogram six-burner gas range, built-in oven, and warming drawer. The adjoining breakfast area opens directly to the covered back porch and outdoor kitchen. Outdoor living is a major part of this property. Deep covered porches with tongue-and-groove ceilings overlook the grounds, while the outdoor kitchen features a built-in grill, granite counters, and refrigerator. A new pergola and 2026 Hot Springs spa add another destination outdoors. Wrought iron fencing, an 18-zone irrigation system, and a storage shed are already in place. The primary suite includes an adjoining flex room with possibilities for an office, nursery, exercise room, or sitting area. The primary bath features glass block windows, dual vanities, a garden tub, separate walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet. A side-entry three-car garage preserves the home's attractive approach and adds valuable storage and parking. Just minutes from HEB, Belterra Village, Kyle Marketplace, and Hays CISD schools, this is a property with the land, construction quality, and extensive updates that are increasingly difficult to replicate.
