The transaction has changed phases
802 Crestone is under contract.
An accepted offer is a milestone, not autopilot. Inspection, repairs, appraisal, financing, title and contractual deadlines can all create new decisions before closing.
Diana's Under Contract guide explains the next phase from both the buyer and seller perspective, including what happens when the inspection finds something, the seller says no, the appraisal becomes an issue or the question crosses from negotiation into legal advice.
A Note from Diana
What I love about Crestone.
I'm a big fan of contemporary homes: the clean lines, the bright spaces and the way one room flows into the next. This one has a lovely and extremely functional kitchen, a large living room, and a pool and outdoor living space that are truly spectacular.
Because the home backs to the greenbelt, there's a level of privacy here that's rare in a neighborhood setting. It's one of the most compelling things about this house.

Your Version of 802 Crestone
What matters most to you?
Every buyer can look at the same home and care about something different. Choose the lens that matches the decision you are actually making.
Choose what matters most to you and explore 802 Crestone from that perspective.
The Whole Picture
Start with the combination.
802 Crestone is not trying to win on one feature. Its strength is how many useful pieces fit together: one-level living, a private pool facing the greenbelt, a real office, guest rooms, a three-car garage and quick access to Lakeway, Bee Cave and Highway 71.
Moving to Austin
First understand the house. Then understand where it sits.
Serene Hills sits between Lakeway and Bee Cave, with Highway 71 connecting the neighborhood to a fast-changing part of West Austin.
Pool + Outdoors
Your backyard does not stop at the fence.
The pool is the obvious photograph. The more important detail is what sits beyond it: trees and greenbelt instead of another backyard.
Value + Alternatives
Compare the home. Then compare the tradeoffs.
Crestone's value is not a price-per-square-foot shortcut. The real comparison includes one-level living, a private pool against the greenbelt, an office, a three-car garage, more than $123,000 in documented improvements and what a buyer would give up elsewhere.
Diana's Walk-Through
Walk 802 Crestone with Diana.
See how 802 Crestone actually lives. Follow Diana from the main living spaces to the covered patio, the pool and the greenbelt beyond. How these spaces connect is much easier to understand in motion than in a gallery of separate photographs.
The kitchen, breakfast area and family room read as one connected everyday living space.
The covered patio and pool extend the living area rather than feeling detached from it.
The walk ends with trees and greenbelt, something a room-by-room gallery can easily undersell.
01 / The Home
Square footage that actually gets used.
One level, an open central living core, real separation for bedrooms and work, and outdoor living that functions like another room.
02 / The Floor Plan
One level. Very little wasted motion.
The plan may be one of 802 Crestone's strongest advantages. All four bedrooms are on the main level, there are no interior steps, the office is genuinely separate, and the central living spaces open toward the patio, the pool and the greenbelt.

04 / The Third Bay
A three-car garage is not just one more space.
The attached three-car garage has epoxy flooring and enough flexibility to let the third bay become something more useful, or more fun, than overflow storage.
Give the projects a room of their own.
Workbench, tools, bike repair or detailing supplies, without taking over the kitchen island or the guest room.
The shortest commute in the house.
Weights, a bike, a yoga mat, mirrors and a speaker, kept separate from the bedrooms and main living spaces.
A proper home for the neighborhood runabout.
Keep the golf cart protected without squeezing it beside two daily drivers.
For the car that does not go to H-E-B in the rain.
Two bays for the daily drivers. The third for the car that only comes out on Sunday morning.
The practical point: three bays preserve options. Whether the third one holds a passion, a project or an actual third car, that flexibility is hard to add later.
05 / Pool + Privacy
Privacy, built into the backyard.
The pool, the covered patio and the rear-facing rooms look toward the trees of the greenbelt rather than another home behind the property. That separation gives the whole back of the house a noticeably more private setting.
Privacy you can feel.
The trees create real visual separation behind the pool, so swimming, entertaining and quiet afternoons feel removed from the homes around you.
The outlook carries inside.
The covered patio and rear-facing living spaces also look toward trees and open space, so the greenbelt is part of everyday life indoors.
Hard to recreate later.
Finishes can be remodeled and equipment replaced. A homesite that already pairs a private pool with a greenbelt position is much harder to add.
Behind the Backyard
Greenbelt behind. Space around you.
The home backs to an 18-acre greenbelt with access to about 3.6 miles of neighborhood trails. The trees are the view from the pool, the patio and the rooms that face them.
06 / Location
Serene Hills, at the hinge of Highway 71.
Serene Hills sits between Lakeway and Bee Cave, built out and threaded with greenbelts and trails. Highway 71 connects it to a corridor of healthcare, shopping, conservation land and new destination development. Here is how the neighborhood compares, and what daily life around it looks like.
Why Serene Hills
A very specific West Austin choice.
It is smaller and more residential than the large master-planned communities, less club-dependent than gated golf communities. It is built out, threaded with trails and greenbelts, and sits at the hinge between Lakeway and Highway 71.
A large, lake-oriented master plan with extensive amenities. Serene Hills offers a smaller residential scale and a more direct relationship to Highway 71.
Newer master-planned living with strong amenity and builder presence. Serene Hills is built out, with mature resale character and established greenbelts.
Gated private-club luxury with a different ownership and social proposition. Serene Hills offers substantial homes and privacy without a private-club lifestyle.
Mature golf, lake and residential streets with a broader age and housing mix. Serene Hills is newer, more cohesive and reaches Highway 71 without starting on Ranch Road 620.
Westlake and Central West Austin trade more on proximity and established prestige. Serene Hills offers more space, a setting in the hills west of Austin and Lake Travis nearby.

07 / Diana's Valuation Lens
Square footage is a data point. Not the pricing method.
Diana is a Texas Certified General Appraiser. Square footage matters, but it is only one part of a valuation. You cannot simply multiply a home's square footage by an average price per square foot and call that the value. For higher-end homes, see Diana's approach to luxury home appraisal.
One-story utility
Nearly 3,000 square feet on one level lives differently from the same size spread across multiple floors.
Pool + greenbelt together
The pool is more compelling because of what surrounds it: covered outdoor living in front and greenbelt privacy behind.
Condition + documented updates
Remodeled bathrooms, refreshed kitchen elements, engineered hardwood and maintained systems narrow the gap between move-in ready and project.
Buyer alternatives
The real competition may be another Serene Hills home, Rough Hollow, Spanish Oaks, established Lakeway or Westlake. Value is reconciled against that decision set.
