1309 Green Forest Dr # 2

Tucked into a private lot in highly sought-after South Austin, this custom-built standalone home delivers the kind of quality, efficiency, and design you're actively searching for. Built by a custom home builder for his own use, every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and long-term durability. Step inside and you immediately feel the difference: vaulted ceilings, solid core doors, expansive window walls, and wide plank oak flooring create a bright, open living space. The living room flows seamlessly to a private deck and private courtyard, where the outdoors naturally spill in through a wall of windows and sliders. The kitchen is dialed in with rift-sawn oak custom cabinetry with full slab doors, Bosch black stainless steel appliances and high-end finishes throughout. The primary suite is where this home really separates itself: a spacious bedroom with a wall of windows and custom floor-to-ceiling drapery, a large walk-in custom closet, and a spa-quality bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub with ceiling-mounted filler, oversized glass shower, and dual vanity. Secondary spaces aren’t an afterthought—large-format tile in the second bath, in-ceiling speakers in both the living room and primary suite, and clean, modern fixtures throughout. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers the privacy and space buyers want in 78745—perfect for pets, entertaining, or simply enjoying the mature pecan trees that anchor the property. Behind the walls, the home is just as impressive: energy-efficient HVAC, heat pump water heater, spray foam insulation, and ZIP wall sheathing for an airtight, high-performance build—something increasingly important for Austin buyers focused on energy savings and comfort. If you’re searching for a modern South Austin home with high end privacy, energy efficiency, and true custom quality in 78745, this one stands in a category of its own. Blocks to Radio Coffee, Austin Java, South Congress shopping, St. Elmo district and more.
