3003 Glen Rae St

Living among the mature oaks in this Rosewood single-family home feels exactly like staying in a private, elevated treehouse, offering a distinct East Austin lifestyle just minutes from the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail. This two-story, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence sits on a heavily tree-covered lot, welcoming you with a wide front porch that is practically begging for a couple of rocking chairs and a cold drink. The main floor layout keeps everything open and connected. At the front of the home, the living room features a large window looking out at the front yard greenery, keeping the space bright alongside neutral walls, vinyl plank flooring, and a modern ceiling fan. This area flows directly into the central kitchen, which serves up a breakfast bar perfect for casual morning breakfast, complete with wood cabinetry and a gas range. The dining area sits at the back of the main level, soaked in natural light with sliding glass doors that open to the outdoor deck. A convenient half-bath wraps up the lower level. Upstairs houses all four bedrooms, essentially putting the sleeping quarters right in the middle of the property's mature tree canopy. The large primary suite really plays up the treehouse vibe with a large window that frames the leaves, plus an attached ensuite bath and a large walk-in closet. The other three bedrooms share a full hallway bath, each getting its own quiet view of the branches outside. Outside, the back deck feels completely hidden away, surrounded by mature trees, for true backyard privacy. Location-wise, this Rosewood spot puts you within walking distance of the running trails along Boggy Creek and the ACC Eastview Campus. You are a quick bike ride or drive from the food and coffee scenes in Mueller, the paths along Lady Bird Lake, and a remarkably short, easy commute straight into Downtown Austin.
