About 5114 Emerald Forest Drive

Experience the best of South Austin living in this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the heart of 78745. Set on a .198-acre corner lot with a spacious, private fenced backyard, this property blends modern upgrades with the charm and convenience that define the Emerald Forest neighborhood. Architect-owned and carefully remodeled, the home balances modern functionality with timeless appeal. Significant recent improvements provide both style and peace of mind. The kitchen received all-new cabinetry in May 2026, complemented by granite countertops, upgraded lighting, and refreshed fixtures throughout. Interior spaces were fully repainted in May 2026, creating a clean, cohesive aesthetic. Both bathrooms were comprehensively renovated in June 2025, offering a modern, move-in-ready feel. Additional major infrastructure upgrades include a new water heater (April 2025), sewer line replacement to the street (2019), and a durable metal roof. The interior layout is both functional and inviting, highlighted by wood flooring, abundant natural light, and a seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece, with updated finishes and ample storage—ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a covered patio overlooking a generous backyard. Mature landscaping offers privacy and flexibility for recreation, pets, or future enhancements. Situated on a large corner lot, the property offers outstanding potential for future development, including the possibility to add an additional housing unit or expanded addition. Enjoy quick access to local favorites like Leroy and Lewis Barbecue, Radio Coffee & Beer, and The Little Darlin', along with nearby green spaces such as Joslin Neighborhood Park and Garrison Park. With convenient connectivity to Downtown Austin, major transit corridors, and the airport, this location offers a high-quality lifestyle and a home that represents exceptional value.
