Sophisticated craftsman-style home in quiet, gated Gabardine Gardens at Shady Hollow. This community offers a lock-and-leave lifestyle flanked by 13 acres of lush greenbelt, trails, ponds, and amenities. Sitting in the back corner of the neighborhood, this home is particularly special. Because it's an end unit, there is only a neighbor on one side and greenbelt behind. Relax on the back patio and watch deer, squirrels, armadillos, and birds - right within the Austin city limits! From the back yard, there is a side gate that opens to the community garden, where families garden together. Go past that, and you'll be on a trail through the greenbelt.
