824 Shelly Drive, Canyon Lake, Texas

Description

2.90 acres, NO HOA dues, single story, and two finished 1,200 SF metal buildings — one with a complete guest apartment, and lg. workshop. The other w/2 sections for storage or ?? and attached covered parking 30x52. Designed by the owners, built to their specifications in 2010 and upgraded steadily ever since.

Inside: three bedrooms, two baths and a true office behind reeded glass French doors. Granite throughout the house, stone-faced island seating five, five-burner gas cooktop, built-in oven, walk-in pantry, opening through a stone arch to a beamed and vaulted living room. Primary bedroom with tray ceiling and barn door to the bath, a pull down-seat shower behind a frameless slider. Drop-zone mudroom, coffee bar.

Off the kitchen, a flex room runs the back of the house: stone wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, stained concrete floors, tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, vaulted, windows on three sides, and its own ductless mini-split heat pump. Not included in the square footage above.

Built heavy and kept that way: 2x6 exterior walls, insulation added to R-60, 14kW Generac on a maintenance agreement, 5-ton 19-SEER Trane, new furnace, condenser and plenum, water filtration, owned propane.

Accessibility was built in, not added on: level step-free entry, four-foot plus halls, a six-foot turning radius drawn on the builder's plan, and a powered door from the garage with a permanent ramp. Garage has a professional epoxy floor.

Attached garage, carport, covered porches front and back, two permitted septic systems. Stock tank pool, flagstone walkways, a bridge over the dry creek, rock wall, wrought iron fencing, quarter-acre dog yard, and an insulated log cabin playhouse with a loft.
