Single-Story Retreat Backing to Greenbelt in Knollwood on the Colorado River

Tucked into Knollwood on the Colorado River, 7104 Bay City Bend pairs an easy single-story layout with one of the neighborhood's best backyards. The fully fenced yard backs directly to greenbelt with mature trees, giving the deck a level of privacy that's hard to find this close to town. A gate off the yard leads straight onto the trails behind the home, so there's no driving to a trailhead required. Recently added turf, custom decking, a private patio, and a hot tub round out the outdoor space. Inside, polished concrete floors run throughout an open floor plan that connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas under high ceilings with recessed lighting. The kitchen features a quartz island, breakfast bar, and gas range. All three bedrooms and both baths sit on one level with no interior steps, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and dual vanities. Knollwood on the Colorado River is a 249-home community less than five miles east of downtown, with shaded mailbox clusters, two parks, and a private, gated 12-acre riverfront park featuring a mowed hike and bike trail, a picnic area with Adirondack chairs, kids' tree swings, and a canoe and kayak launch. There's always something going on, from holiday parties to impromptu neighborhood get-togethers. The community is recently zoned to Kealing Middle School, with kids able to bike there via the Walnut Creek Trail, which also connects to Govalle Park, downtown, the YMCA, Harvey Penick Golf Campus, and Austin Tennis Center, with easy access to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Circuit of the Americas, and Mueller for shopping and dining. The HOA is well-run and reasonable, keeping the community looking great without the hassle.
