Property Description

905 Emerald Forest Drive is an updated mid-century ranch in the Emerald Forest neighborhood, set under mature trees on an expansive corner lot. The Austin-stone façade, exposed rafter beams, and turquoise front door give the home a character that feels original. A drought-tolerant yard with native grasses and flagstone steps keeps curb appeal low-maintenance year-round. Inside, the layout is simple and bright. White walls, light wood-look laminate floors, and a large picture window open the living room, which flows back to the dining area and a wall of glass onto the patio. The kitchen has been updated with maple shaker cabinetry, white quartz counters, a sage subway-tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a gas range. A peninsula with seating for three connects the cook to the dining room and the yard beyond. Three bedrooms sit down the hall, and the primary has a private half bath — a real convenience in a home of this era. Ceiling fans throughout, recessed kitchen lighting, and a one-car attached garage round out the interior. The backyard is where this home separates itself. A covered patio runs nearly the full width of the house, finished in a stained tongue-and-groove wood ceiling with recessed lighting and dual fans. It's a true outdoor room — shaded, wired, and ready for dinner parties or a slow Sunday morning. Beyond it, a large, level, fully fenced yard with horizontal-slat cedar fencing and mature trees offers room for a garden, a pool, a studio, or simply space. Emerald Forest is a quiet, established neighborhood known for wide streets, heritage oaks, and neighbors out walking and cycling. Radio Coffee & Beer, Leroy and Lewis Barbecue, and The Little Darlin' are all close by, with Joslin Park and Garrison Park a short walk or bike ride away. Sunset Valley and South Lamar shopping are minutes out, and downtown is roughly 5 miles up South First. Homes with this much outdoor living space, updated and move-in ready, are rare in 78745.
