Property Description


0.42 Acres Lot
Built in 1979
Under Contract
Units n/a

Tucked into the heart of Austin, this 1979 masterpiece exudes timeless charm w/ a dash of retro flair—featuring wood-beamed ceilings, stone accents, & a vibe that’s equal parts sophisticated sanctuary & playful retreat. Perched above the Barton Creek Greenbelt, it offers sweeping views of the Downtown Austin skyline from nearly every room, w/ the expansive living area’s portrait windows framing the city like a living masterpiece. Arrive via a private, extended driveway w/ generous guest parking, leading to a charming stone pathway winding through lush landscaping. Towering trees & vibrant greenery form a serene canopy, guiding you to a warm, inviting double-door entrance. Large windows hint at the bright, airy interior beyond, enhanced by a cozy covered porch. Inside, a sunken conversation pit invites intimate gatherings or epic storytelling sessions by the stone fireplace. The kitchen shines w/ warm wooden cabinetry, flowing into a formal dining space. The game room, complete w/ a billiards table & wet bar, is perfect for entertaining, while the office—clad in cozy cork walls—doubles as a potential fourth bedroom thanks to a clever pull-out Murphy. On crisp fall evenings, fling open the French doors to let the sounds of ACL drift in from your balcony, transforming your home into a festival haven without the chaos. Sip your morning coffee or unwind w/ evening wine in the spacious main-floor lounge—its soothing neutral palette invites you to sink into plush sofas & relax. Mature landscaping, anchored by a majestic crepe myrtle, complements oak-shaded patios & a serene pool deck for al fresco enjoyment. Nearby, grab a quick bite at Taco Deli. Royal Blue, Central Market, & Trader Joe’s are all w/in easy reach. Zoned for Westlake ISD, just minutes from downtown, UT, & only 12.5 miles from ABIA. This 3-bed(plus flex), 3-ba sanctuary fuses vintage allure w/ modern Austin living and iconic style, steps from the greenbelt. Your hilltop oasis awaits!
