3 Bed | 2.5 Bath | 2,296 sq ft | Mueller, ATX

If you've been waiting for a Mueller single-family home that checks all the boxes - great layout, beautiful finishes, outdoor living, and a location that puts Austin's best amenities within walking distance - 4512 Ruiz Street just hit the market, and it's one you don't want to miss.

I've been selling homes in Mueller for years, and this one genuinely has it all. Whether you're a buyer looking to plant roots in one of Austin's most walkable and community-driven neighborhoods, or an investor eyeing long-term value, this home delivers.

Take the virtual tour:

A Home Designed for Real Life

From the moment you walk in, this two-story residence feels intentional. The flex space at the front of the home gives you options - set it up as a home office, a formal dining room, or a sitting room. It's one of those details that makes a home adapt to you, not the other way around.

The heart of the home is the open-concept main living area. Hardwood floors anchor the generous living room, and a wall of windows looks out toward the private rear yard - bringing in natural light while keeping you connected to the outdoors.

The kitchen is where this home really shines for entertaining. A 9-foot granite center island serves as the social hub of the first floor, flanked by stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. Because the layout is open, the kitchen flows directly into the dining area and living space - exactly the kind of setup today's buyers are looking for.

Upstairs: Bedrooms Built for Comfort

All bedrooms are on the second floor, keeping living and sleeping spaces nicely separated. The two guest bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom off the hallway - a smart, functional design for families, guests, or roommates.

The primary suite is the retreat you'd expect: double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. And then there's the bonus feature that really sets this home apart - a second-floor balcony overlooking the Mueller streetscape and mature trees. Morning coffee just got a serious upgrade.

Outdoor Living Done Right

The rear of the property has been thoughtfully designed for year-round enjoyment. A rear patio with misting fans keeps you comfortable even in the Texas heat, while a pergola with a custom built-in grill makes outdoor entertaining effortless. The professionally maintained landscaping ties it all together.

For the sustainability-minded buyer, this home also comes equipped with solar panels and an EV charger in the garage - two features that are increasingly in demand in Austin and add real long-term value.

Location: Mueller's Sweet Spot

Location in Mueller is everything, and 4512 Ruiz is positioned perfectly. You're a 5-minute walk from the Mueller Sunday Farmers' Market, the Thinkery, and the Alamo Drafthouse. Girard Kinney Lake Park (formerly Mueller Lake Park) - all 30 acres of it - is right there with its hike and bike trails, playgrounds, and community events.

For commuters, you're less than 5 miles from Downtown Austin and about 8 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. That's the kind of access that's hard to find at any price point in Austin.

Upgrades That Matter

The plumbing and electrical fixtures have been updated throughout - the kind of behind-the-scenes investment that gives you peace of mind. Combined with the solar panels, EV charger, and outdoor living upgrades, this home has been maintained and improved with intention.
