  • $2,625,000
  • 4 Beds, 3 Bath, 2556 SQ. Feet, 0.23 Acres Residential Austin, TX 78702

Gated and walled like a modern fortress, this architectural masterpiece is only accessible by crossing a steel and stone bridge, creating a striking entrance into a world of elevated design and serene luxury. Inside, discover museum-like interiors, skyline views from every porch, and a level of privacy rarely found this close to the city’s pulse. Located in a prime spot near downtown, you can walk to restaurants and bars on East 6th and are just minutes from Whole Foods. Thoughtfully designed, this custom home blends architectural distinction with everyday livability. Just steps from the French Legation and the vibrancy of 11th Street, it sits at the intersection of past and present. While the setting is historic, the home itself is not a contributing structure—meaning no historic restrictions—providing flexibility for future changes. With no HOA, you’ll enjoy the freedom of true ownership in a neighborhood where neighbors look out for one another. A major 2023 renovation focused on dissolving the boundary between indoor and outdoor living, creating a luxurious treehouse feel—refined, filled with light, and grounded in nature. Features include soaring ceilings, gallery lighting, bespoke finishes, expansive porches with skyline views, space for a pool, lush gardens with native plants, and a gated alleyway entrance to a separate 1 bed/1 bath apartment with full kitchen. If you’ve been waiting for a home worthy of a magazine cover, this is it.
