Living in the Cottages at Northwoods means your weekends actually belong to you. This gated community is a favorite for anyone looking for a "lock and leave" lifestyle, where the HOA takes care of the front and back landscaping. Even though it's a condo community, this home sits on a large corner lot and lives entirely like a single-family residence, with no shared walls. The main floor was designed for people who love a bright, open atmosphere. The living room is impressive, with high ceilings and a wall of windows that keeps the whole level glowing with natural light. The layout is incredibly practical: the dining area is positioned right between the kitchen and the living room, so whether you're hosting a dinner or just hanging out, the conversation flows easily. The kitchen has quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless appliances. The island breakfast bar is where everyone ends up, making it a great spot for a quick meal or a comfortable place to work from home. The primary suite is tucked away for privacy on the main level and features beautiful light and an ensuite bath with a dual vanity, a huge walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, the loft at the top of the landing is a flexible space, perfect for a game room or a secondary lounge. Both upstairs guest rooms are spacious, giving everyone their own corner. The backyard is a private setup you don't always find in low-maintenance communities. There's a covered back porch that opens onto an extended deck and a grassy area that's just the right size for pets. If you have an electric vehicle, the one-car garage already has an EV charging outlet ready to go. On the weekends, head over to the Northwoods amenity center for a swim or take the dog to the neighborhood playground, just a few minutes away. The Cottages at Northwoods puts you right where you need to be. You're minutes from Target and Lakeline Mall. For commuters, the easy access to 183 and 45 makes getting around North Austin a breeze.
