At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Cat Mountain, this updated contemporary home sits on a heavily wooded half-acre lot with Hill Country views and glimpses of Lake Austin. Where in central Austin can a home still offer a half acre of mature trees and long views? In Cat Mountain, just off RM 2222 near Mount Bonnell, where hillside lots and dense canopy create real privacy while nearby MoPac and Loop 360 connect to downtown Austin and The Domain. Inside, approximately 3,299 square feet across three levels holds four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, three living areas and two dining spaces. About $150,000 in improvements include a redesigned kitchen, updated flooring, a renovated primary bath and a renovated powder room. Soaring ceilings in the family room and reading room fill the home with natural light, and an interior crow's nest offers its own vantage point toward the lake. The primary suite takes advantage of the elevated setting, with sweeping views from the renovated primary bath. Just off the kitchen, a screened porch opens to the trees for dining and relaxing year-round, joined by multiple decks set into the canopy. The lot offers space to consider a future pool, and a dedicated storage room, generous storage throughout and a two-car garage add everyday function. Cat Mountain Villas HOA amenities include a community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse and trails, with Mount Bonnell, Bull Creek District Park and the Far West H-E-B close by. Zoned to Highland Park Elementary, Lamar Middle School and McCallum High School in Austin ISD (buyer to verify), this 78731 home pairs a central location with the quiet and natural setting that set Cat Mountain apart.
