Dream bungalow living with a true backyard oasis in the heart of picturesque Taylor, Texas! Set on nearly half an acre just over a mile from Taylor’s historic Main Street, this beautifully remastered 1930s bungalow pairs original character with tasteful modern updates and a backyard retreat that makes everyday feel like a vacation. Some homes are updated. This one was reimagined without erasing what made it special. The breezy covered porch, mature shade trees, original hardwood floors and crown molding keep the home rooted in its era, while bold design choices and thoughtful upgrades give it a fresh, unmistakably modern edge. The front parlor is bright, inviting and anything but ordinary, opening to a standout island kitchen with GE Cafe appliances, designer hood, farmhouse sink, custom tile backsplash, Shaker cabinetry and a Pottery Barn island made for gathering. Updated high efficiency double thermal pane windows keep your heating and cooling inside and help reduce your energy bills! The family room and dining area look out to the backyard, where the real magic happens. Added in 2024, the inground pool and spa is the centerpiece of a private oasis, complete with LED lighting and app-controlled heating and cooling. There’s even a refurbished storage shed with exciting potential for a creative studio, guest space or something entirely your own. Three sunny bedrooms feature wood floors, including a primary suite with direct back-porch access and a beautifully updated ensuite bath. Murphy Park is an easy stroll away, putting green space and small-town Taylor within reach while Austin remains close enough for an easy day trip. Picture summer afternoons in the pool, evenings on the porch and an easy stroll into town. This is Taylor living at its best – come take your tour today!
