409 Mangold Dr BIG HOUSE. PREMIUM HIGHLAND HOME. SHORT SALE PRICING. Let's call it what it is-opportunities like this don't come along often. This upgraded Highland Home in highly sought-after Carmel Creek delivers the space, quality, and floorplan buyers want, now offered at a price that deserves a second look. If you've been waiting for the right combination of square footage, upgrades, location, and value, this may be your moment. Inside you'll find designer touches throughout, including wood-look tile flooring, wainscoting accents, updated lighting, and the craftsmanship Highland Homes is known for. The gourmet kitchen is built to impress with granite countertops, a massive island, gas cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry ready for every Costco run imaginable. Need space? You've got it. The flexible floorplan features both the primary suite and a secondary guest suite downstairs, a dedicated home office with French doors, oversized secondary bedrooms, a large game room upstairs, and a rare Texas basement for exceptional storage. Out back, enjoy a covered patio, spacious yard, and no rear neighbors-creating the privacy that's becoming harder and harder to find. Located in Carmel Creek, Hutto's premier master-planned community, residents enjoy a resort-style pool, dog park, sports courts, scenic trails, and convenient access to schools, shopping, dining, SH-130, and major employers. The reality? Recreating this home with today's construction costs, upgrades, and lot premiums would cost significantly more. This is your chance to secure a premium Highland Home at a value-conscious price. Short sale. Big opportunity. Schedule your showing before someone else recognizes the deal.
