Completely reimagined inside and out, 5506 Auden pairs the scale and craftsmanship of a custom West University home with the finish quality and livability buyers expect from new construction. Offering 4,768 SF, 5 bedrooms, and 4 baths, the home has been extensively renovated with a fresh, refined aesthetic and meaningful functional upgrades throughout. A dramatic curved staircase anchors the light-filled interior, while generous living spaces flow effortlessly for both everyday life and entertaining. The backyard is a true standout—framed by mature trees and lush landscaping, with a resort-style pool, spa, and an uncommon amount of green space rarely found in the area. Set on a 10,000+ SF lot in a premier West University location, this is a turnkey opportunity where every detail has already been done.
