2708 Rio Mesa Dr, Austin, TX 78732

Rio Mesa sits at one of the higher elevations in Steiner Ranch, and this five-bedroom home takes full advantage of it - the canyon, greenbelt, and UT Golf Club stretch out in front of you from the main living spaces, kitchen, primary suite, and a custom second-story deck engineered specifically to capture those views without interrupting the sightlines from below.nnThe main floor is organized around the views. Living spaces and the kitchen face the canyon and greenbelt, and the layout keeps the best exposures working for you throughout the day. The primary suite is also on the main level, with the same long views that define the home. Four and a half bathrooms across 3,428 square feet is a notable ratio - upstairs, four bedrooms are served by three full baths, a configuration that makes the home work well for larger households or frequent guests. A dedicated main floor office adds flexibility without pulling from the bedroom count.nnThe second-story deck is worth noting on its own. It was custom designed to maximize the view corridor - canyon, greenbelt, golf course, and a direct line to the UT fireworks - while remaining visually recessed so it doesn't break the roofline or block sightlines from the kitchen and living room below. It's a thoughtful piece of design that makes the outdoor experience significantly better than a standard builder deck.nnThe backyard is large and private, with mature screening and room to add a pool without compromising the lawn or green space.nnJu
