Property Overview

This one-of-a-kind modern farmhouse at 1700 S 6th St in Zilker showcases architectural distinction that extends far beyond typical South Austin residences. Built in 2012 with an eye toward authentic design, the home earned features in Houzz, Crate & Barrel, and publications celebrating architectural innovation. Steel-framed windows flood the 4,017-square-foot residence with natural light while framing views of the creek and lush landscape, creating a treehouse-like sanctuary within one of Austin's most coveted neighborhoods.

The kitchen commands attention with reclaimed Spaghetti Warehouse beam shelving, Wolf dual-fuel range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and reverse osmosis drinking water systems that marry old Austin character with modern functionality. Three bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodate family needs across multiple living areas, while the primary suite anchors the main level with seamless access to the landscape. Smart home integration, custom sound systems, and a wood-burning fireplace complete the thoughtfully curated interior, complemented by a metal roof, extensive automation, and automatic irrigation across the nearly one-acre lot.

Steps from Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, and the Hike & Bike Trail, 1700 S 6th St positions residents at the heart of South Austin's outdoor culture and South Lamar's vibrant dining scene. The property sits 16 percent above the neighborhood price per square foot, reflecting both the architectural pedigree and the premium positioning within one of Austin TX's most sought neighborhoods.

Agent Description

Welcome to 1700 S 6th St., a thoughtfully curated modern farmhouse in one of Austin’s most beloved neighborhoods. Designed and built at the leading edge of the white siding movement, this one-of-a-kind residence stands apart with its authentic materials, architectural vision, and deep attention to detail. Featured in Houzz, Crate & Barrel, Loft Home, and Spectacular Women of Architecture, this home is as much a creative expression as it is a functional, family-ready retreat. Soaring steel-framed windows span the back of the home, drawing natural light and a lush treehouse ambiance into the main living areas and primary suite. In the kitchen, reclaimed open shelving crafted from Spaghetti Warehouse beams pay homage to old Austin, while Sub-Zero column refrigeration, a Wolf 48” dual-fuel range, and reverse osmosis drinking water elevate everyday living. Entertain with ease thanks to folding Durango doors that open the kitchen and living room to a shaded outdoor patio anchored by a live oak and surrounded by an edible garden—including Meyer lemon, olive, bay laurel, asparagus, and more—on a fully automated Rachio irrigation system. Inside, you’ll find white oak herringbone floors, a Rumford wood-burning fireplace with a Colorado River-recovered cypress mantle, and layered design elements throughout. The primary bath features a vintage European workbench-turned-vanity, a soaking tub, and a spa-style shower with three showerheads. The lower-level music studio includes a murphy bed for added flexibility, while a whole-home sound system, ADT security, and wired high-speed internet make the home smart and secure. Plans for a pool convey, along with a custom-built media cabinet and split HVAC systems in the garage and studio. This is more than a home—it’s a showcase of soul, sustainability, and sophisticated Austin living. Tax and assessed values are estimates for illustration purposes only.
