Some houses check boxes. This one makes you want to stay. 7012 Halesboro Drive Austin TX 78736 is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with 2,261 square feet in the Enclave at Covered Bridge. It was built in 2018 and has been lived in with real intention. The layout works. The finishes are elevated. The screened porch is the kind you’ll actually use every weekend. On top of that, the location puts you in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of Southwest Austin without giving anything up in terms of access.
What Makes 7012 Halesboro Drive Austin Stand Out
A 2018 build in Southwest Austin is already interesting. Add designer lighting, a tiki-inspired screened porch, epoxy garage floors with built-in cabinetry, an upstairs loft with a projector and screen, and motion-sensor smart features — and that’s a different conversation entirely.
The Enclave at Covered Bridge earns its reputation quietly. Wide streets, mature trees, and well-kept homes give it a calm that’s surprisingly rare this close to everything. Furthermore, this particular lot backs to green space. As a result, the backyard has a level of privacy you won’t find in newer developments where homes are packed tightly together.
Layout and Living
The floor plan is one of this home’s biggest selling points. The primary suite sits on the main level. That’s genuinely useful whether you’re working from home, hosting guests upstairs, or simply prefer not to climb stairs every night. In addition, there’s a dedicated office on the main level with French doors and built-in shelving. It works as a home office, a study, or a formal sitting room.
Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms flank a loft that functions as a game room. A ceiling-mounted projector and pull-down screen are already set up and ready to go. Movie nights, video games, a guest hangout — it earns its square footage. Moreover, both upstairs bedrooms include built-in storage, so nothing gets crammed into a closet.
Kitchen and Main Living Spaces
The kitchen earns its place as the center of this home. Espresso cabinetry, granite countertops, a herringbone tile backsplash, stainless gas appliances, and a large island make it easy to cook and easy to gather. There’s also a butler’s pantry with glass-front upper cabinets. That kind of feature is easy to overlook in photos. In person, however, you immediately understand why it matters when you’re trying to keep your counters clear.
The dining nook has large windows on two walls and a woven pendant chandelier above. Natural light fills the space without turning it into an oven — a real consideration in Austin. Meanwhile, the living room connects directly to the dining area and opens out to the screened porch. The whole main level flows in a way that makes entertaining feel easy rather than effortful.
Outdoor Living
The screened porch is the feature that closes the deal. It’s private, covered, and fitted with bamboo shade screens and treetop views. It feels like a separate outdoor room. In Austin, extending outdoor living past summer without fighting the heat or mosquitoes is genuinely difficult. Because of that, a screened porch like this is a real quality-of-life upgrade — not a decorative afterthought.
Behind the porch, the backyard is fully fenced with wood privacy fencing. The lot backs to mature trees along the green space perimeter. Additionally, the irrigation system covers front and back, so the lawn stays manageable without becoming a second job in the summer heat.
Thoughtful Updates and Features
The level of care in this home shows up in the details. The primary bathroom has a frameless glass walk-in shower with mosaic tile surround and pebble tile floor. The vanity is dual-sink with quartz countertops. A window above brings in natural light. The laundry room, similarly, has butcher block countertops and blue tile backsplash. Those are the kind of finishes that signal real attention to the whole house — not just the rooms buyers typically notice first.
The garage deserves its own callout. Epoxy-coated floors, an overhead storage rack system, ceiling-mounted lighting, and a full wall of built-in white cabinetry with pegboard storage. If you’ve ever moved into a home where the garage is just an empty concrete box, you’ll know immediately why this matters.
Other features worth noting: double-pane windows, high ceilings throughout the main level, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and the home sits outside the FEMA flood plain.
