Tucked beneath a stately oak tree on a quiet, low-traffic street in the heart of 78745, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home delivers high-end design, functional upgrades, and space to expand—all in one of South Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods. Thoughtfully reimagined in collaboration with a professional interior designer, the home features an open-concept layout perfect for modern living. The kitchen is anchored by a large quartz island that offers ample prep and gathering space, while a picture window above the sink fills the room with natural light. A bold designer accent wall in the dining area adds a stylish focal point, and the spacious living room offers the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance finish. The primary suite is a serene retreat with a walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite bath, while the secondary bathroom showcases custom tilework, sleek cabinetry, and high-end finishes. Out back, step onto a custom-built wood deck overlooking a large, private yard—ideal for hosting, gardening, or building out your vision. With ample space and alley access, the lot offers exciting potential to add a detached ADU or guest house, making this property a smart long-term investment. Enjoy peace of mind with a new roof, new HVAC, updated plumbing, and a tankless water heater—all completed to ensure efficiency and comfort for years to come. Located minutes from South Congress, St. Elmo, and Downtown, and surrounded by local cafes, parks, and conveniences, 813 Cardiff Dr offers a rare mix of charm, style, and future potential—right in the middle of it all.
