457 Santaluz Ln, Austin, TX 78732

Description

Greenbelt wraps three sides of this Santaluz home in Steiner Ranch, and from the covered patio the view runs out across the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve to the hills beyond.

Freshly updated and set at a great price for the gated Santaluz neighborhood, this 2011-built home sits on 0.573 acres with 5,185 square feet across two levels turned toward that view.

Hand-scraped hardwood floors lead from the foyer into a double-height living room, where a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors one wall and tall windows frame the hill country. Off the foyer, a private study lined with built-in bookshelves keeps early mornings quiet. The kitchen pairs quartzite counters and backsplash with commercial-grade appliances, a gas range, custom cabinetry, and a center island, with a sunlit breakfast nook and a wet bar with built-in wine storage steps away.

The main-level primary suite sits apart, with floor-to-ceiling bay windows and a bath where a deep soaking tub rests beneath large windows between dual vanities. A second main-level bedroom keeps guests close but separate. Upstairs, three bedroom suites, a dedicated media room, a flexible loft, and a flex room with wide windows framing long-distance views complete the plan.

Covered patios and multiple balconies open to the backyard, with an outdoor dining area under the ceiling fans and the greenbelt as the backdrop. The yard also leaves room to plan a future pool, with an AI-generated rendering in the photos showing one way it could take shape. Past the gate, Steiner Ranch adds parks, community pools, scenic trails, and lakeside amenities, with Lake Austin and the UT Golf Club a short drive away, all within Leander ISD. A morning can start on a Steiner Ranch trail, slow down over coffee in the breakfast nook, and end back on the covered patio as evening light settles over the preserve.
