Tucked into a private lot in highly sought-after South Austin, this custom-built standalone home delivers the kind of quality, efficiency, and design you're actively searching for. Built by a custom home builder for his own use, every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and long-term durability. Step inside and you immediately feel the difference: vaulted ceilings, solid core doors, expansive window walls, and wide plank oak flooring create a bright, open living space. The living room flows seamlessly to a private deck and private courtyard, where the outdoors naturally spill in through a wall of windows and sliders. The kitchen is dialed in with rift-sawn oak custom cabinetry with full slab doors, Bosch black stainless steel appliances and high-end finishes throughout. The primary suite is where this home really separates itself: a spacious bedroom with a wall of windows and custom floor-to-ceiling drapery, a large walk-in custom closet, and a spa-quality bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub with ceiling-mounted filler, oversized glass shower, and dual vanity. Secondary spaces aren't an afterthought-large-format tile in the second bath, in-ceiling speakers in both the living room and primary suite, and clean, modern fixtures throughout. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers the privacy and space buyers want in 78745-perfect for pets, entertaining, or simply enjoying the mature pecan trees that anchor the property. Behind the walls, the home is just as impressive: energy-efficient HVAC, heat pump water heater, spray foam insulation, and ZIP wall sheathing for an airtight, high-performance build-something increasingly important for Austin buyers focused on energy savings and comfort. If you're searching for a modern South Austin home with high end privacy, energy efficiency, and true custom quality in 78745, this one stands in a category of its own.
