12316 Carlsbad DR Austin, TX 78738

If you lived here...you could start your morning walking to the nearby Lake Pointe Elementary - one of Austin's top-rated schools and the kind of neighborhood anchor that shapes the whole community around it - while sipping coffee with neighbors doing the same. Weekends mean bicycles, fishing at Carlsbad Pond or a quick run to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's for whatever the backyard BBQ still needs.

That's Lake Pointe. The Hill Country is out one door, the city is out another and the lake is at the end of your trail.

At 3,353 square feet across four bedrooms and three baths, the home gives that life plenty of room. The main level keeps the primary suite tucked away from the action while the updated kitchen anchors it all. Upstairs, a game room connects three bedrooms and two full baths - a floor that works as hard or as quietly as the moment calls for.

Out back, the east-facing patio earns its keep year-round: sunny in the morning, shaded by afternoon, with a flat low-maintenance backyard already laid out for a pool. Miles of walking paths wind past the Hill Country Galleria and down to the private Lake Pointe dock on Lake Austin. Three routes to downtown mean you're never stuck.

12316 Carlsbad is where the life you want and the neighborhood you need finally show up at the same address.
