Welcome to 4518 Merle Dr, a brand-new, architect-designed single-story modern residence set on a private 10,869 sq ft lot in the heart of 78745.

Inside, an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen great room is anchored by a large pantry and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The private primary suite features a spa-inspired en-suite bath and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a fourth bedroom with its own en-suite sits privately near the garage and home office, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. A stylish powder room, mudroom/laundry, and abundant closet storage round out the main residence. Outside, unwind around the sparkling pool, dine al fresco under the covered porch with a built-in outdoor kitchen, or host guests in the detached pool house, complete with a kitchenette, full bath, and lounge, perfect as a guest suite, home gym, or creative studio. Clad in a medium-gray three-coat stucco system with black-painted fascia, exposed Douglas fir beams, and a standing-seam corrugated metal roof, the home's striking modern exterior is matched by premium Andersen 100 Series windows and doors and engineered hardwood flooring throughout. Minutes from downtown Austin, this move-in-ready new build delivers clean architectural design, resort-style outdoor living, and flexible space for modern life.
