Nestled in the desirable Deer Ridge subdivision of Woodway, TX, near the serene waters of Lake Waco, this stunning modern ranch-style home offers a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and nature. Situated on a generous 0.50-acre lot, the property boasts impressive brick and stone architecture, soaring ceilings, and rich dark engineered hand-scraped wood flooring that enhances both style and ease of maintenance. The front yard is a picturesque retreat with mature crepe myrtle trees, lush landscaping, and a charming Butterfly Garden featuring vibrant Zinnias, Morning Glories, Mint, and Nasturtium, welcoming you to the home. Inside, the entryway leads to a versatile front room that can serve as a formal dining area, office, or second living space—currently a delightful play area for kids. The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen, where custom dark wood cabinetry offers ample storage, complemented by sleek stainless steel appliances. A countertop bar provides casual seating, making meal prep a social experience. Flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas, the space is anchored by an Austin stone wood-burning fireplace with a hearth for additional seating and a wood mantel for display. Expansive windows across the back of the home provide breathtaking views of the vast backyard, which is a true outdoor oasis. An extended concrete patio, featuring both an open pergola and covered seating areas, creates a dream setting for entertaining and relaxation. The isolated primary bedroom is a private retreat, painted in a striking midnight blue with dark brass fixtures, offering a spa-like en-suite bath complete with a luxurious soaking tub. On the opposite side of the home, three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath. Step outside to discover the “WOW FACTOR” — a sprawling, fully fenced backyard perfect for soccer games, football, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature. An above-ground swimming pool in the side yard conveys with the property, while numerous native Texas trees, including Red Maple, Bald Cypress, Pine, Cedar Elm, Mexican Plum, Peach, and Mexican Buckeye, have been thoughtfully planted to provide shade and natural beauty for years to come. Gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the raised garden beds along the side of the home, already thriving with Blackberries, Blueberries, Tomatoes, Potatoes, and a variety of herbs. This peaceful and secluded neighborhood, designed as a large horseshoe-shaped street, sees very little traffic, making it ideal for quiet living. With an incredibly low HOA fee of just $150 annually for the care of the beautifully maintained entrance, this Deer Ridge gem offers an unparalleled combination of modern comfort, thoughtful landscaping, and a true connection to nature.
