Property Description

Set on nearly half an acre in Highland Park West along Balcones Drive, this reimagined contemporary estate offers rare privacy, scale, and iconic views of the UT Tower glowing against the Austin skyline. Spanning nearly 5,000 square feet and rebuilt to the studs in 2022, the home is designed for predominantly single-level living, with expansive, light-filled interiors and a lower level ideal for guests, media, or additional living space. The kitchen pairs performance and design with a curated appliance suite, including a double wall oven with convection microwave and a custom BlueStar range. Elevated finishes throughout include Emtek hardware, custom cabinetry, and selections from Kelly Wearstler and Ann Sacks. The primary suite features a spa-inspired bath with steam shower and TOTO washlet, creating a private retreat among the treetops. The 0.47-acre homesite offers exceptional outdoor potential with room for a pool, supported by an existing cabana bath for future integration. A patio with a wood-burning fireplace provides an inviting setting for outdoor living, while a structurally engineered roof section allows for the possibility of a rooftop deck or terrace. Located in one of Central Austin’s most established neighborhoods, Highland Park West is known for its rolling terrain, mature trees, and estate-scale lots, with convenient access to downtown, The Domain, and premier dining and cultural destinations. Zoned to McCallum High School, home to AISD’s nationally acclaimed Fine Arts Academy.
