Set along one of Austin's most iconic streets, this fully updated single-story home blends an artistic design, sweeping downtown views, and a deep connection to Austin's native landscape. Expansive windows frame lush, tree-filled views and fill the home with natural light, while the front and backyard have been intentionally designed with native plantings to create a Certified Wildlife Habitat that attracts pollinators and, with little-to-no maintenance, thrives beautifully in the Central Texas climate. Inside, authentic solid white oak hardwood floors and trimless baseboards create a highly refined yet comfortable aesthetic. The four-bedroom, three-full-bath layout offers seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces, with main living areas overlooking greenery and a front row panoramic view of the downtown skyline. The home's drywall was installed with Plyteq floating drywall soundproofing between shared walls, an application used in many commercial designs. The open layout kitchen is equipped with a premium appliance package, including a BlueStar professional gas range, Liebherr counter-depth German refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Zephyr vent hood, along with a dedicated water filtration system and high-efficiency, high-capacity heat pump water heater as well. Bathrooms feature Carrara marble, Hansgrohe fixtures, and TOTO bidets for a cohesive, elevated feel. The backyard offers ample space for a future pool, with ease of access and no major tree constraints, and the sellers have completed design studies for a garage conversion and expanded vision including a pool, garage, and additional living space. Tucked within the highly sought-after Highland Park West community, this home offers effortless access to local favorites and everyday essentials while feeling like a true spa-inspired retreat. Blending tranquility with close proximity to downtown and modern conveniences, it's a rare balance that's hard to beat.
