About This Property
Fully updated Mid-Century with a view and 7 min to Central Austin or North Austin. Wake up to deer grazing outside your window in the Certified Wildlife Habitat yard, downtown Austin glowing on the horizon, and a chef's kitchen awaiting you. This fully updated mid-century home sits at the intersection of modern comfort, nature and city. There is a park, playgrounds, tennis courts, and soccer fields out front, Mopac a moment away, and neighborhood favorites like Yamas, Chez Zee, Hive & Honey and Russell's within walking distance. The Domain and downtown are each just seven short minutes away. Inside you will find authentic solid white oak hardwood floors and trimless baseboards create a highly refined yet comfortable aesthetic. The four-bedroom, three-full-bath layout offers seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces, with main living areas overlooking greenery and a front row panoramic view of the downtown skyline. The home's drywall was installed with Plyteq floating drywall soundproofing between shared walls, an application used in many commercial designs. The open layout kitchen is equipped with a premium appliance package, including a BlueStar professional gas range, Liebherr counter-depth German refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Zephyr vent hood, along with a dedicated water filtration system and high-efficiency, high-capacity heat pump water heater as well. Bathrooms feature Carrara marble, Hansgrohe fixtures, and TOTO bidets for a cohesive, elevated feel. This home can come fully, partially or unfurnished, so your client has flexibility depending on their individual needs. Tucked within the highly sought-after Highland Park West community, this home offers effortless access to local favorites and everyday essentials while feeling like a true spa-inspired retreat. Blending tranquility with close proximity to downtown and modern conveniences, it's a rare balance that's hard to beat.
