Property Description
This thoughtfully designed custom residence offers the rare opportunity to own a home that blends architectural distinction with everyday livability. Just steps from the French Legation, and the vibrancy of 11th Street, this property places you at the intersection of past and present. While it benefits from the character and community of its historic setting, the home itself is not a contributing structure—meaning no historic restrictions—providing flexibility for the next homeowner. And with no HOA, you'll enjoy the freedom of ownership in a neighborhood where neighbors truly look out for one another.
In 2023, a significant renovation elevated the home's aesthetic and functionality, all with the guiding principle of dissolving the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. The result is a home that feels like a luxurious treehouse—refined, grounded in nature, and filled with light and serenity.
This estate-caliber compound features:
? Museum-like interiors with soaring ceilings, gallery lighting, and bespoke finishes
? Expansive porches with views of the Austin skyline
? Outdoor living space with room for a pool
? A gated compound with rare privacy and presence
? Expansive gardens with native flowering plants and rich greenery
? No neighbors peering in—just light, structure, and space to breathe
? Bottom floor gated alleyway entrance into the gardens that leads to a 1 bed 1 bath apartment with a full kitchen
If you've been waiting for a property that feels like it was designed for the cover of Architectural Digest, this is it.
