Property Overview

This architect-designed contemporary at 1605 Chelsea Lane stands as a modern statement in Travis Heights, where timeless charm meets cutting-edge design. Award-winning architect Davey McEathron crafted this 2018-built residence to maximize light and flow, featuring soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and an open-concept layout that dissolves boundaries between interior and exterior living. Rich wood floors and clean finishes create sophistication without pretense, while bold architectural details give the home unmistakable character.

The five-bedroom layout prioritizes both entertaining and everyday comfort. A sprawling primary suite occupies the main level with a spa-caliber bath and expansive walk-in closet, while upstairs offers a versatile flex space ideal for media, office, or studio use. The crown jewel is a rooftop deck overlooking Lady Bird Lake, anchoring an entertainment-ready outdoor ecosystem that includes a private pool nestled in a secluded backyard.

Located on a tree-lined street steps from South Congress Avenue's walkable dining and retail scene, this Travis Heights property captures what discerning Austin buyers seek: architectural distinction, neighborhood character, and proximity to both downtown and the lake.
