Property Overview

This Northwest Hills residence on Ladera Norte commands Hill Country views that define the entire home experience. Designed to showcase panoramic vistas across its generous 0.37-acre lot, the updated 1985 home features expansive windows that frame the landscape while flooding interiors with natural light. The four-bedroom, three-bath layout flows seamlessly around these sightlines, with an open floor plan anchored by stone counters, a kitchen island, and vaulted ceilings that amplify the sense of space and connection to the outdoors.

The remodeled interiors reflect thoughtful design choices including hardwood and tile flooring, gas fireplaces, and abundant natural elements that bridge indoor and outdoor living. Seven distinct decks and patios—screened, covered, and open—extend the home's footprint into multiple outdoor rooms positioned to capture morning light through mature trees and evening Hill Country sunsets. Two main-level bedrooms provide convenience, while the upper-level space offers flexibility as additional bedroom or home office.

Set in the North Cat Mountain subdivision near Loop 360 access, this property positions you within Austin ISD's excellent school zone while maintaining privacy amid established trees and greenbelt views. The priced-above-market positioning reflects both the remodeling investment and the exceptional visual amenities few Austin TX homes in Northwest Hills can match.

Agent Description

Some homes have a view. This Cat Mountain home was designed to live with one. Expansive windows stretch across the back of the home framing extraordinary Hill Country views and filling the living spaces with natural light. Outside, seven decks and multiple outdoor living areas invite you to experience the setting from different perspectives --- from morning coffee among the trees to evenings when the sky comes alive with spectacular Texas sunsets. Recognizing just how special the setting was, the sellers worked closely with interior designer Betty Shaw to thoughtfully reimagine the home around it. Walls were opened, spaces redesigned and sightlines enhanced creating a casually sophisticated home that feels warm, welcoming and deeply connected to the outdoors. Set on approximately .37 acres, the 3,193-square-foot home offers three bedrooms, 2.5 beautifully remodeled bathrooms, plus a bonus upper-level office/flex room with custom built-ins, a closet and its own walk-out balcony. At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances thoughtful function with distinctive design anchored by a one-of-a-kind island crafted from an antique boxcar. The primary suite embraces the setting with expansive views and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub positioned to take in the sunset. Approximately $620,000 was invested in renovations and improvements including the extensive interior remodel, metal roof, replacement windows, renovated landscaping and hardscaping, refreshed decks, pergola and screened porch. Custom touches include a wine closet, fireplace screen and tools, motorized shades and built-ins giving the home character without feeling formal or fussy. The result is a home where every detail feels intentional, yet nothing feels overdone --- equally suited to quiet everyday living, entertaining and simply taking in the surroundings. And always, your eye is drawn back to the view. Come for the home. Stay for the sunset.
