Small town living puts everything in walking distance, in this spacious and well maintained home on a level, fenced .44 acre lot, studded with pecan and live oak trees! There's a drive-through gate into the backyard for your convenience, and a recent 10' X 20' shed. A large attic with lots of plywood decking provides additional storage space. You are never more than a quick bike ride from any of the schools, parks, restaurants and shops in this quaint town on the Blanco River, just a one hour drive away from Austin and San Antonio! Set near the end of a dead end street in the middle of town, the only "noise" you will hear is the sound of sports being played at nearby Panther Stadium. Hill Country getaways to Fredericksburg and beyond are easy. The original home was built in 1973 and has been well-maintained, featuring original hardwood floors (NOT vinyl plank) and lots of large windows, which provide a sweet sunlight ambience. The large, beamed, sunken living room features a full wall built of limestone, with a wood burning fireplace with raised hearth. The kitchen includes recent appliances including an LG French door fridge with icemaker and bottom freezer, a 1-year-old stove, dishwasher, and microwave. The deep freezer (in the walk-in pantry) and washer/dryer set (located in a dedicated laundry room) can also convey. Access to the crawl space under the original house couldn't be easier (see the bulkhead doors in the photos). A fully permitted and inspected addition built in 2023 includes double-pane, Low-E windows and glass french doors. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 3 living rooms, with 2500 square feet in all, and heated and cooled by 2 separate heat pump systems. Roof with ridge vent installed in 2023. This comfortable home offers a LOT of space, both interior and in the yard. A separately fenced section of the lot is ideal for pets, gardening. Previous owner had LLAMAS in there! Lots of BANG FOR THE BUCK!

🚧 The world's largest short-term rental marketplace is betting millions on housing in one of Texas' biggest cities.

Airbnb pledged $6.4 million in support of the St. John redevelopment in Austin—a long-planned affordable housing initiative at the northeast corner of St. Johns Avenue and Interstate 35. The site was formerly a Home Depot and a Chrysler Dealership.

🎄 Austin’s 155-Foot Zilker Holiday Tree Is Already Up

📄 Comment “REPORT” for my FREE Austin Guide featuring local favorites, hidden gems, and stories worth knowing!

It’s not even Halloween yet, but one of Austin’s biggest holiday traditions is already standing over Zilker Park.

Austin Energy crews have finished installing the Zilker Holiday Tree for its 60th holiday season.

🎄 Here’s how massive it is:
• 155 feet tall
• 39 strings of multicolored LED lights
• 81 bulbs on each string
• 3,309 lights across the streamers
• 380-foot circumference
• 10-foot double star with 150 bulbs

And it’s not actually a traditional tree.

The lights are suspended around a historic Austin Moonlight Tower — part of the city’s original urban lighting system dating back to 1895.

📅 Lighting Ceremony: Nov. 29
🎶 Pre-event music: 5:15 PM
💡 Ceremony: 6 PM
📍 Zilker Park • 2100 Barton Springs Rd.
🎟️ Free

After the ceremony, the tree is scheduled to glow nightly from 6–10 PM through Jan. 1.

⭐ Quick Take: Halloween hasn’t even arrived, but Austin is already preparing for the holidays — and this 155-foot landmark is officially back for its 60th season.

💬 Too early for holiday lights, or are you ready for Christmas in Austin?

Billie Eilish has helped support a woodland restoration project at Zilker Park through a $20,000 donation facilitated by environmental nonprofit REVERB. 🌱🌳

Known as the "Billie Eilish Grove", the project has established 140 native trees to help expand the park’s tree canopy, reduce stormwater runoff, and protect the Barton Springs watershed.

According to Zilker 351, the project has also reported an 85% tree survival rate.

A meaningful contribution that extends beyond music and supports environmental conservation. 🖤🌿
