1325 Spyglass Dr

Rarely does an Austin home offer this much connection to both the city and nature. Overlooking Barton Creek near Downtown Austin, 1325 Spyglass Drive combines panoramic Barton Creek Greenbelt and Downtown Austin views with an extensively remodeled 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence in acclaimed Eanes ISD. A two-story wall of glass transforms the treetops and Austin skyline into the home's backdrop, while extensive custom work gives the interior a distinctly architectural character. A custom steel floating staircase with Ipe and slate treads and illuminated etched-glass railing creates a dramatic centerpiece. Locally sourced mesquite and pecan, natural soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry and built-ins, Bosch appliances, bamboo flooring, solid wood details, Ipe, slate, river rock, glass and steel create a rich natural material palette. The comprehensive renovation includes PEX plumbing, upgraded electrical, three-zone HVAC, enhanced insulation, motorized exterior shades, radiant barrier and sound-deadening improvements. Radiant-heated primary bath flooring, a server closet with hardwired security and networking, and extensive storage add comfort and function. Outdoors, an expansive Ipe deck and private five-person hot tub overlook the Greenbelt and skyline. The under-deck area provides storage for SUPs, kayaks and outdoor gear, while also offering flexible space for potting plants, crafts and home projects or as an additional outdoor living area surrounded by nature, with Downtown Austin in the distance. The nearby Spyglass Trailhead connects to Campbell's Hole, The Flats, Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park, while Tacodeli and Blackbird Market & Coffee are just down the street. Minutes from MoPac and Downtown Austin, with a flexible loft landing and attached 2-car garage. HOA dues of $350/month cover common area maintenance, exterior insurance, water and sewer. This is a rare convergence of architecture, craftsmanship, nature and central Austin convenience.
