About this home
Rarely do nearly 180-degree downtown views, privacy, and Central Austin convenience come together in one luxury home. Originally built as a one-story residence, the home underwent a comprehensive renovation, including replumbing, rewiring, stucco, major systems updates, 3 HVAC units, 3 tankless water heaters, spray foam insulation, and thoughtful architectural and aesthetic refinements. Designed to make the downtown skyline part of everyday life, the residence sits above the city with sweeping views across the tree canopy. Clean architectural lines are softened by warm materials, wide-plank white oak floors, grasscloth, natural stone, and richly grained wood millwork. Windows and doors are scaled to the view, from the oversized pivot entry to the dramatic corner glass on the main living level. Antique pendant lighting salvaged from the 1905 Berkeley City Library adds detail. The main level is oriented toward the views and opens onto a covered balcony via floor-to-ceiling glass. The open living and dining areas are ideal for entertaining, with the dining area, office, and one of the living spaces capturing skyline views. The kitchen features flat-front cabinetry and natural wood millwork. The primary suite and office are both on the main level. Upstairs, 3 additional bedrooms, each with an attached bath, are anchored by a dedicated living area with skyline views. The outdoor spaces offer plenty of room to enjoy the private setting, with an expansive front porch, a covered balcony, a covered patio, an outdoor kitchen, generous patio space, live oaks, a tranquil water feature, and a large fenced backyard. A four-car garage, a wide semicircular driveway with ample on-site parking. The main home is 4,473 SQFT/tax, not including the detached ADU or the partially finished basement/workshop, which has lighting, electrical, windows, and a rear entrance, adding exceptional versatility. Minutes from Central Austin, Lake Austin, parks, dining, and everyday conveniences....
