Rarely does an address in 78704 do this much work on its own. This custom-built home in Zilker sits within walking distance of Butler Pitch & Putt, Auditorium Shores, the Lady Bird Lake trail system, Uchi, Terry Black’s, and the full South Lamar corridor — Alamo Drafthouse, coffee shops, restaurants, all of it. Downtown is minutes out. For those new to Austin, this is the kind of home base that lets you understand the city on foot — and when guests come to town, they get the real Austin experience without spending half their visit in a car.

Inside, the home has a quality you feel immediately. Wide-plank hardwood floors, curated lighting, and a floating staircase give the main level a quiet confidence — nothing overstated, everything considered. The kitchen, dining, and living areas open into one another naturally, as comfortable for a quiet evening as they are for a full house. Viking appliances, custom cabinetry.

The floor plan reflects the same intention. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, primary suite on the main level. The primary bath is built around the details that matter — dual vanity, a walk-in shower, and a standalone deep soaking tub that earns its square footage. The top-floor retreat — full bath, generous living, downtown views — adapts to whatever you need it to be.

Out back, a pool and artificial turf create a private outdoor environment that runs as quietly as the rest of the home. A motorized steel gate at the front secures the driveway entry, giving the property a level of privacy and security that’s rare this close to the South Lamar corridor. Lutron lighting, automated shades, Ring security, Rain Bird irrigation, and Pentair pool controls are already in place. The house takes care of itself.

Some homes in this zip code have the location. Some have the build. This one doesn’t ask you to choose.
