4 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 6773002 MLS ⋅ 78620 Zip Code
No homes behind you, only preserve. 657 Moonlit Stream Pass is a single-story Taylor Morrison home in Headwaters, built in 2023 on a 0.186-acre homesite that backs to greenbelt, with Hill Country trees and open sky beyond a fenced backyard. Life here centers on the back of the house. A 12 by 8 foot sliding glass wall opens the family room to a broad covered, elevated patio with a powered retractable screen and ceiling fan, so time outside is easy in any season, and the same preserve view carries from the family room into the main-level primary suite. The value is just as clear: more than $146,000 in builder selections were installed at construction and the owners have since added further improvements, so the finish work new construction still requires is already complete. Inside, 2,632 square feet hold an open floor plan with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a home office, and a flex room in a split layout. The primary suite offers two separate walk-in closets, a soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and double vanity, and a guest bedroom has its own walk-in closet. The gourmet kitchen includes a Café appliance package, 5-burner gas cooktop under a vented hood, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, a walk-in pantry, and a large island facing the living area. A floor-to-ceiling limestone gas log fireplace with a Douglas fir mantel and built-ins anchors the family room. Wood floors, raised ceilings, 8 foot doors, plantation shutters, a mahogany entry door, built-in speakers, sound insulation, and an epoxy floor in the two-car garage complete the details, with landscaping and hardscape finished. Headwaters is built around community, with miles of trails and open space, resident events through the year that bring neighbors together, a clubhouse, fitness center, and pool, and the 300-acre Rathgeber Natural Resource Park planned beside it. Dripping Springs ISD. Schedule a private showing and see the patio at sunset.
