Welcome to 5206 Backtrail Dr, a peaceful haven nestled in the scenic and highly sought-after neighborhood of North Cat Mountain. Thoughtful landscaping, mature trees, and a stunning wraparound upper porch offer standout curb appeal before you even step inside. Soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of windows fill the living space with natural light, centering around a striking floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace that anchors the room with warmth and character.
The heart of the home is a bright, functional kitchen with generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a large panel-less window that perfectly frames views of the private, tree-filled backyard. Two secondary bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, along with thoughtful storage throughout including a closet under the stairs, a finished-out attic walk-in closet, and an extra-large, temperature-controlled garage.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like a retreat, offering high ceilings, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the expansive wraparound porch where you can take in sweeping views of the Northwest Hills, and even catch Fourth of July fireworks. The en-suite bath features dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub, creating a spa-like setting to unwind. A flexible bonus room upstairs currently serves as an office but could easily become a nursery, yoga space, or custom dressing room.
The backyard is where this home truly shines with nearly a third of an acre of lush tranquility, multiple decks for lounging and dining, a grassy area for pets or play, newer 8-foot fencing for privacy, and outdoor lighting that brings the space to life after dark.
Located just minutes from shopping and dining along Far West and 2222, with quick access to Mopac and Loop 360, 5206 Backtrail Dr offers the perfect balance of tucked-away hill country serenity and everyday convenience. You're zoned to highly rated AISD schools including Doss Elementary, Murchison Middle School and Anderson High School and surrounded by nature trails, neighborhood parks, and the best of Northwest Austin living.
