Architecturally striking and deeply rooted in the soul of 78704, this contemporary South Austin residence delivers elevated design just 3 miles from Downtown. Tucked beneath magnificent heritage oaks and moments from SoCo, South 1st, the new HEB, and some of Austin's best restaurants, coffee, shops, and nightlife, the location is as compelling as the home itself. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, floating stairs, warm natural wood accents, polished concrete floors, and walls of artistically placed windows create a dramatic yet inviting atmosphere filled with natural light and privacy. The great room unfolds beneath statement ceilings with custom wood-wrapped details, anchored by a sleek fireplace framed by sophisticated built-ins. Revel in an abundance of storage throughout, and maximize productivity at the custom built-in mezzanine desk. The gourmet island kitchen was designed to impress, featuring custom ceiling-height cabinetry, built-in pantry storage, quartz counters, premium built-in appliances, a wet bar/cafe station, and a striking natural wood-topped island at the center of it all. The main-level primary suite feels like a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, custom wood accents, porch access, and a spa-inspired bathroom with contemporary vanities, designer tilework, oversized walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. Upstairs, two spacious secondary suites each offer tall ceilings and private baths. Downstairs, a guest powder room and laundry/mud room complete the layout.
