Property Overview

This rare custom modern home on 2nd Street in South Lamar represents the pinnacle of contemporary Austin living, designed by respected builder Forsite Studio and completed in 2024. The residence commands attention with its dramatic Venetian plaster fireplace framed by soaring ceilings and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. The thoughtful floor plan prioritizes flexibility and entertaining, featuring both a primary suite and secondary bedroom on the main level—perfect for guests or multi-generational arrangements—alongside multiple living zones that flow seamlessly throughout the 3,254-square-foot residence.

The property's real distinction lies in its exceptional lot size of over 6,600 square feet, a notable advantage in this increasingly dense neighborhood. This generous outdoor footprint accommodates an entertainer's paradise with sophisticated outdoor living capabilities, while the home's three-level design includes a habitable attic space with full bath that adapts to virtually any lifestyle need: guest suite, home office, or media room. Located mere steps from South Congress's celebrated restaurant and retail scene—Homeslice Pizza, Elizabeth Street Cafe, Neighborhood Sushi—and within walking distance of Zilker Park, this 2nd Street location captures the vibrant South Lamar energy while offering a tranquil residential setting.

Vox Residential Insight

At $799 per square foot, this new construction sits 40 percent above the South Lamar median, but the Forsite Studio pedigree, prime location, and superior lot size justify the premium positioning for discerning buyers seeking quality and walkability. The Vox Residential team recognizes this as a rare offering that bridges the gap between South Congress's trendy hospitality district and genuine residential tranquility.
