This architecturally distinctive single-family residence offers an exceptional blend of space, flexibility, and thoughtful design in the heart of Bouldin Creek. The front portion of the home features a 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout with an attached one-car garage and three additional covered parking spaces — a rare convenience in this highly walkable neighborhood. Toward the rear of the home, the private primary retreat occupies the entire third level and includes its own sitting area, creating a true sanctuary above the treetops. On the first floor, a secondary bedroom with an ensuite bath opens directly to the backyard, ideal for guests, extended family, or a quiet home office. An additional room with a private entrance — currently converted from the second one-car garage — provides even more versatility and can easily be restored to garage use if desired. A dramatic shared foyer on the second level welcomes you into light-filled living spaces framed by walls of windows and elevated, treehouse-style views from the upper floors. The main kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating an open and inviting environment for everyday living and entertaining. A secondary kitchenette adds convenience and flexibility, enhancing the home’s thoughtful layout. Designed with efficiency in mind, the property includes 24 kW solar panels, supplemental mini-split HVAC systems for targeted climate control, and LED lighting throughout. A custom steel three-car carport with integrated solar panels adds architectural character while providing substantial covered parking and additional energy savings. Ideally located in Bouldin Creek, just moments from South 1st and South Congress, with easy access to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and Lady Bird Lake, this home offers the rare combination of privacy, versatility, and premier Austin living. A truly unique opportunity in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
