Go big or go home.
Or maybe do both.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 800 Austin Lane in Lavon is not only a former model home, it’s a perfect place to hang out with friends, throw a party, or just live.
There’s easy access to State Highways 78 and 190, and the home is just minutes from Firewheel Town Center in Garland.
With a monthly rental rate of $2,350 and those four big bedrooms, it could also easily work as a temporary spot for a family waiting on home construction or looking for a permanent place.in the area. The 1.5-story property features a game room, bedroom, and bathroom in the upstairs area.
All the perks
Coast up the driveway to the brick and stone front home with two-car garage – and you’ll soon forget this home is a rental.
Fans of the television series “Arrested Development,” in which Jason Bateman’s character lives in a model home with his son George Michael, will also enjoy telling stories about the history of the property.
“This home is unique because it’s a former model home – never lived in,” said broker Rafael Carrasco with Carrasco Real Estate Co. “And it’s right across from the amenity center.”
The 2,514-square-foot home has the best of both worlds. That nearby amenity center boasts a pool with water slides, exercise room and video games for the young renter. There are outdoor grills, a private backyard with covered patio, walk-in closet and private driveway for those who need their space to feel “homey.” It’s fully landscaped on an 8,712-square foot lot.
Little things mean a lot
It’s been a model home all its life, so quite a bit of attention to detail has been given to this Austin Lane gem. It has an open design, featured in floor plans posted with the listing. Split bedrooms allow for privacy in the master. Extended tile floors, a floating island, and granite counter tops complete the kitchen. Upgraded light fixtures, rounded corners, and arches highlight the uniqueness of this artsy spot.
Class is in session
Pets are allowed and the home is zoned for schools in Community ISD, which recently received an A rating from the Texas Education Agency.
Students will attend McClendon Elementary School, Leland Edge Middle School or Community High School. The schools met most state standards but have struggled with meeting TEA designations for individual subjects, and improvement is required for academic growth at Edge Middle School.
Rafael Carrasco with Carrasco Real Estate Co. listed 800 Austin Lane, Lavon, for a rental price of $2,350 per month.
