Property Overview

Nestled beneath mature oaks in Barton Hills, this 2023 residence showcases mid-century modern architecture refined for contemporary living. Located on a sprawling 15,755-square-foot lot in one of Austin's most coveted neighborhoods, the home spans 3,743 square feet across six bedrooms and four bathrooms. Designed by Barley Pfeiffer Architects, the residence features soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, and extensive glass walls that blur the boundary between interior and outdoor living. The chef's kitchen boasts bespoke cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium appliances that serve as both functional workspace and entertaining centerpiece.

The property's thoughtful design extends beyond the main residence. A 440-square-foot screened porch with fireplace creates an inviting retreat, while a secondary dwelling adds over 1,100 additional square feet of flexible living space. This dual-structure approach offers possibilities for guest quarters, rental income, or multi-generational living while maintaining privacy within the tranquil setting.

South Lamar's dining and shopping scene lies just minutes away, grounding this sanctuary within Austin's vibrant urban fabric. Though priced at $721 per square foot—approximately ten percent above the area median—the combination of architectural distinction, thoughtful design, and location commands premium value in the Austin TX market.
