Property Overview

Perched above the convergence of Lamar Boulevard and Barton Springs Road in the heart of Zilker, 1300 Bluff Street commands one of Austin's most coveted residential lots with sweeping downtown skyline views. This 2006 custom home designed by architect Michael Brown seamlessly marries modern luxury with Austin character, featuring artist-curated Mexican and Austin-inspired artwork, warm finishes, and distinctive designer lighting throughout its 2,710 square feet. The residence unfolds across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, each thoughtfully appointed with refined details that reflect the homeowner's commitment to distinctive living.

The property's outdoor spaces define the lifestyle it offers. A massive heritage oak shades the expansive main-level deck—an entertainer's paradise overlooking downtown Austin's evening skyline and holiday fireworks. The rooftop deck provides an intimate retreat for morning coffee and contemplative views of the surrounding landscape. This commanding nine-thousand-plus-square-foot lot sits within walking distance of Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, and the Hike & Bike Trail, positioning residents at the intersection of Austin's most desirable outdoor recreation and dining destinations along South Lamar.

A recent price reduction reflects current market conditions for this distinctive property. While positioned above typical Zilker pricing, the exceptional lot location, architectural significance, and curated finishes create a rare opportunity in one of Austin's most established neighborhoods.
