culdesac: SOLD! 🏡✨ 2403 Dartford Bend | Twin Creeks - 08/10/26 02:21 PM

Some real estate transactions are special because of the home. Others are special because of the people.
2403 Dartford Bend is definitely one of those special stories for me.
I first had the privilege of helping these wonderful clients purchase this home in 2021. Four years later, when it was time for them to sell, they called me again and trusted me to help them navigate their next chapter. Being invited back to represent clients a second time is one of the greatest compliments a REALTOR® can receive, and I am truly grateful.

culdesac: A Great Home Is More Than Beautiful It's Designed for the Way You Live - 06/21/26 10:41 AM
One of the things I've learned after years of helping buyers is this:
It's easy to fall in love with a beautiful kitchen or stunning curb appeal. But the homes that bring the greatest satisfaction months and years later are the ones that truly fit the way you live.
Does the floor plan work for your family?
Is there space to gather and space to retreat?
Will it adapt as your life changes?
That's what caught my attention about my newest listing in Twin Creeks at 2403 Dartford Bend, Cedar Park TX 78613.
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully maintained 3,336-square-foot home was thoughtfully designed with … (6 comments)

culdesac: TOO LATE ~ SOLD ~ 10305 Nutwood Cove ~ Canyon Creek ~ Austin TX - 08/26/21 05:31 AM
Eleven years ago my sellers fell in love with this home when I had it listed! They knew the extra room and cul-de-sac lot was going to work perfectly for them! I listed and sold their home in Oak Forest and they closed on Nutwood Cove in Canyon Creek.
Today was bittersweet as they closed with relocating buyers and now will be renting as their Sitterle Home, I’m representing them on in Liberty Hill, is being built. They know it will be a process with the challenging “cycle time” with new construction from start to finish.  With no home to worry about … (7 comments)
