Updated ranch home beckons in Far North Austin

There are many reasons to live in Far North Austin, not the least of which is convenience to Apple and other large employers in the area, as well as the Domain community and other mixed-use developments with plenty of amenities. Another is that if you’re looking for an old-school suburban lifestyle, with a capacious but not overblown home and a good-sized lot, you have a good chance of scoring something like this updated 1971 ranch-style home.

Located in the Angus Valley, subdivision, the 2,484-square-foot home is on lot measuring over half an acre, dotted with tall shade trees as well as the mature landscaping that surrounds its backyard pool and deck. The house has four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms and features updates as well as original features of its era, such as Saltillo tile floors and a living room with a vaulted ceiling and a stacked-stone fireplace. There’s also a large, screened-in porch. The home at 5202 Maverick Drive is listed by Nanette Labastida with Compass.
