Property Overview

This architecturally significant residence at 1604 Garner Ave in Austin's coveted Zilker neighborhood represents a rare intersection of design innovation and new construction excellence. Featured on Arch Daily and the Modern Homes Tour, this 2025-built home showcases the distinctive vision of Davey McEathron Architecture, with interiors and construction by Cary Paul Studios. The four-bedroom, four-bath residence masterfully blends mid-century modern aesthetics with 1970s and Memphis design influences, creating a thoroughly individualized living experience that transcends typical new construction.

The 2,752-square-foot interior captivates with thoughtfully curated details throughout: a sunken conversation pit anchors social spaces, while a walnut-clad kitchen peninsula topped with terrazzo and accented by mod floating shelves commands culinary attention. Custom built-ins with angular motifs, hand-selected tile work, and boutique lighting establish an unmistakable design language.

The South Lamar dining corridor and Austin's vibrant cultural scene are equally accessible. While priced at $872 per square foot—a premium reflecting the home's architectural distinction and location—this curated property appeals to discerning buyers seeking authentic design and Zilker living.
