Meticulously maintained by its original owner, this 2-story condo in Gabardine Gardens at Shady Hollow offers gated, lock-and-leave living in a South Austin enclave of fewer than 100 homes. Set back on a quiet cul-de-sac with no shared walls, it lives like a single-family residence while the HOA maintains the exterior and common areas. At approximately 2,000 square feet, the home offers 3 bedrooms plus bonus space off the primary suite (ideal as an office, nursery, or sitting room), 2.5 baths, and a 2-car attached garage with extra storage shelving and nearby guest parking. The open-concept layout is filled with natural light and features high ceilings, engineered wood flooring, brand new carpet, plantation shutters, and custom top-down/bottom-up privacy blinds throughout. The kitchen offers granite countertops, abundant cabinetry with pull-out drawers, a step-in pantry, dedicated workspace, stainless steel appliances, and a brand new freestanding gas range with double ovens. Refrigerator, washer, and dryer convey. The primary bathroom includes a sit-down vanity, and a spacious utility room provides additional storage. A private backyard sets this home apart, offering room to garden, entertain, relax, or simply enjoy time outdoors. Gabardine Gardens offers a sense of community that's hard to match - mature trees shade the streets, and neighbors gather for community events, creating the kind of camaraderie that makes this feel like home. Amenities include gated entry, a pool, walking trails, and landscaped green spaces, adding exceptional value to this low-maintenance lifestyle. Enjoy a convenient South Austin location near South Menchaca dining, coffee shops, breweries, and services, with easy access to Brodie Lane, MoPac, and SH 45. Zoned to Baranoff Elementary, Bailey Middle, and Bowie High.
