5206 Emerald Forest Dr, Austin, TX 78745
What This House Offers
Tucked beneath mature shade trees in one of South Austin's most connected neighborhoods, 5206 Emerald Forest Dr delivers the kind of move-in ready, fully... updated home that's genuinely hard to find at this price. Four bedrooms, two renovated baths, and 1,250+ sqft of thoughtfully upgraded living space — all on a generous, fenced .155-acre lot. The renovated kitchen anchors the home with ample counter space, a built in gas range, stainless appliances, and a sliding glass door that floods the dining area with natural light and opens to a large, tree-shaded backyard. The primary suite features an en suite bath, dressing area, and walk-in closet. The flexible 4th bedroom — a fully finished, climate-controlled garage conversion — works equally well as a guest room, home office, or gym. Built-in storage throughout, dedicated laundry/mudroom, and luxury vinyl plank floors (no carpet) round out a home that's as functional as it is comfortable. Major systems updated 2022: roof, low-e double-paned windows. Washer, dryer, and refrigerator all convey. Minutes to St. Elmo, Radio Coffee, El Chilito, St. David's South, and Downtown Austin.
