Georgetown, Texas Real Estate Blog Your Host: Edward Lui

Don’t worry, I’m not talking about this Big Lots,

I’m talking about THIS:

That’s right, .25 acres of beautiful irrigated grass that backs up to a panoramic view of the woods. It’s hard to find a lot like this in Georgetown Village. The lot has a nice slope towards the back of it, which would be ideal for building an in-ground pool with a negative edge that gently slips off into the horizon. You can best get this view from the back patio, living room and kitchen:

The kitchen is connected to the living room through a space that’s perfect for a large breakfast table and all of the counters and art niches have granite counters. Wood floors are in the kitchen, great room, study, dining room and hallways and the owners have used top quality plantation shutters, honeycomb shades and blinds in all of the windows. There are also granite countertops in the hallway “Tech center.”

One of the unique features of this home is that it is over 2400 SF and has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The owners designed the floorplan to give this home two master suites so that you can have maximum flexibility:

There are also many great energy saving features in this home: Radiant barrier paint in the attic, Low-E windows, ceiling fans and a very efficient 13 seer air conditioning unit. The home also has 10 foot ceilings, an oversized garage and a front and rear covered porch. If you’ve been wishing homes had bigger yards in this neighborhood, you can stop wishing and check this home out for yourself. The price is $269,900 and it is also available for a lease or lease purchase for $1600/month for the first year.

Tempting buy in venerable neighborhood: Time-honored custom home on a 1 acre lot thriving with trees. Priced at only $249,500

The Greenest feature in the home: You may have heard industry-talk of “R-values” in relation to a home’s insulation and how that helps you save on your energy bills. Well, nothing is better than the T-value. Yes, that “T” stands for TREEES. There are over 50 mature trees speckled on this 1 acre lot that provide shade to this home from every direction. If the sun rarely hits your home, it would naturally make sense that it would require much less energy to cool it in the summer. The front porch and the rear covered patio also provide additional overhang over the windows to prevent direct sunlight from shining into the home. Despite this great energy-saving feature, the interior of the home gets plenty of natural light due to recent window renovations.

Living in Serenada: Among many Georgetown residents, this neighborhood is considered a desireable place to live for three good reasons. First, it’s located close to Williams Drive which gives you quick access to major roads. Second, it’s one of the original custom home neighborhoods in Georgetown so you won’t find many “cookie-cutter homes” here and availability of homes is more scarce. Case in point, at the time of this writing there is only half the amount of supply (3 months) in this neighborhood compared to all of Georgetown. Lastly, you can still find wooded acreage homes here without spending twice as much and driving twice as far. This home has a desireable location, with easy access to major roads and sits on one wooded acre. With over 2500 SF and 4 bedrooms and a custom built workshiop it just might be one of the best values left in this market.

If you’re familiar with Georgetown Texas real estate, you’ll notice that lots like these are selling for $150,000 just down the road. Here’s your chance to own a custom home on a one-of-a-kind lot for under $250,000. Would you like a private showing? Contact Edward at 512-554-9594 or Nancy at 512-818-4892

Other Features:

Two Bonus Rooms
If you’re like most families, you typically need another room for a study, playroom or library. This flexible floorplan has a large room towards the front of the home that is perfect for that extra space. Need another living space? There is also a second, smaller bonus room located off the garage.

Large Living Room
The first thing you will notice when you walk into the room are the thick wood beams lined across the ceiling. The space is saturated with natural light and is larger then most modern living rooms. It is located adjacent to the kitchen for a nice, open floorplan perfect for entertaining.

419 Keenland Drive - $219,900 with $5000 to be paid towards the BUYER’S closing costs! - 4 Bedrooms, Study, Gameroom and a Private Yard with Trees - located in Stonehedge neighborhood of Georgetown, Texas

Green Home Au Natural: You hear a lot about the energy-saving benefits of green building these days. Some of it is hype, but if you want a sure-fire way to lower the electricity bill: Buy a home that has trees large enough to give it some shade.

Situated on a large shady lot with mature trees that have stood the test of time. This home has a recently installed water heater, water softener & roof. Located near the SH130 toll road with quick access to the Innerloop and I35. Perfect gas saving location!

Floorplan designed for functionality: Sometimes a floorplan can be too open and as a result the rooms lose their sense of coziness and individuality. All of the rooms in this home are separated enough so that you can use all of them at once without feeling you’re in the middle of 3 different conversations. For example, you can have an intimate gathering of friends in the kitchen busily preparing a meal together and have a larger group of sports fans cheering on their favorite football team in the living room. The older children can be playing catch in the backyard on a cool, breezy day, while the toddlers are in the gameroom with big sister.

Since the living room and gameroom are high traffic areas, the builder had enough foresight to design the home so that they are on two different levels of the home. There is also a private study and formal dining room with bamboo flooring located towards the front of the home. The warm colors and quality flooring materials keep this 3000+ SF home feeling warm and inviting. But there’s only one way to find out for yourself…

If you’re tired of looking at large homes without any personality this home may be just what you’re looking for. With large amounts of livable space, and smart use of square footage, you might just find yourself having Aunt Suzie over more often. Unless, ofcourse, she lives right down the road. If you’re ready to see this home for yourself contact Edward at 512-554-9594.

123 Village Park Drive: Classic David Weekly with acres of wooded parkland for a front yard…maintenance-free.

A Georgetown Village Classic: Ideally located in the heart of the neighborhood. You don’t have to cross one major street to get to a wooded park, an exemplary Village elementary school or the Village playscape and pool. If one or all of those amenities appeal to you, this ideal location will give you the peace of mind and convenience most homeowners only dream of.

The home’s all-brick construction with a front porch, dormer windows and an alley-accessed garage bring out the charm in this David Weekly home. The classic design and architecture makes this home stand apart from your typical box-shaped two story and, like Mary Poppin’s bag, you will be amazed at how well 2900+ SF will fit in here.

If you have ever visited a park and wished you could just take your home and stick it right in the middle of it, this is probably as close as it gets. Imagine drinking your morning coffee on the front porch and listening to the sound of chirping birds and rustling leaves of giant oak trees.

Located within this park is an enormous playscape underneath a canopy of trees with nearby picnic tables and built-in grilling stations. There is also an in-ground heated pool that is a stone’s throw away from the playscape. If you’re looking for a more intimate setting, the backyard on this home is just perfect for a small dinner party with friends or neighbors. All of the cutting, trimming and edging on this home is maintained through the HOA. Go ahead, sell your lawn equipment on Craigslist. You won’t need it anymore, and if you’re like most Texans, you could probably use more space in your garage anyways. The time you save maintaining the yard, can now be spent enjoying it. Enjoy the large park in front of you too, because all of that is meticulously maintained by the city.

There are 4 bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs. This allows the next owner the flexibility of having a guest room or in-law suite on the first floor. There is also a bonus room on the first floor that you can convert into a gym, home office or media room. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms that are adjacent to an over-sized game room.

The great thing about this home is that there is 2900+ SF and no wasted space here.  Even the laundry area  is refined to a closet so that you can just wash clothes, dry them and put them away.  Instead of having a place to accumulate “stuff” it’s in a closet to help keep your life simple.  Another example of great space-saving design is the attic space.  The gameroom has several doors that lead into some very useful attic storage. While you’re checking out the attic storage, don’t forget to look at the roof, there’s a radiant barrier there that helps to keep the inside of the home cooler so you’re not paying those outrageous Texas air-conditioning bills.

There’s a tricky balance between being close to daily conveniences and being too close! I mean who wants to live behind a CVS Pharmacy? This home achieves the perfect harmony: Located on one of the quietest streets with the best views and still walking distance to everything. Interested in viewing this home?

………………….
Designed with the Family in mind. Much of the appeal of this home lies in the fact that you will never feel cramped for space. This home was built and designed by Morrison Homes, recently rated by industry expert John Woodland as among the top 5% of all homebuilders in the nation for customer satisfaction. The reason they’re so good: They listen to their customers. As a result, this floorplan is unique, yet remarkably usable and truly reflects family life. For example the Study is at the front of the home, reducing the amount of noise from conversations in the kitchen or children playing in the living room, which are both located towards the back.
