About This Home

Available Now

Tucked just off South Congress in 78704, this nearly 2,000 sq ft modern home offers the best of Austin living. Walk or bike to some of the best restaurants and shops in town. Built in 2015, the home is filled with natural light thanks to soaring ceilings and oversized windows, including near floor-to-ceiling glass along the main living area overlooking the shaded backyard. The open layout, hardwood floors, and clean contemporary design create a space that feels elevated yet comfortable. The first floor features a private bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or a dedicated office. The kitchen is equipped with Bosch stainless steel appliances, a full pantry, and opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and bright, retreat-like feel. A second guest bedroom and additional living area provide flexible space for a media room, office, or lounge. Out back, a large oak tree anchors the yard, offering exceptional shade and privacy. Newly installed turf creates a clean, low-maintenance outdoor space ready to enjoy year-round, while the west-facing orientation brings in warm afternoon light. Designed to live like a standalone home, it shares only a minimal section of wall near the staircase and offers rare privacy for this type of property. A gated front entry, covered carport, and additional off-street parking add convenience, all within a clean, modern streetscape with glimpses of downtown. Located just off South Congress and minutes from downtown, with easy access to Cosmic Pickle, Nomadic Beerworks, and the St. Elmo district, this home delivers the ideal 78704 lifestyle. Take an early morning run to grab a coffee and a later afternoon happy hour at the brewery. Everything is within your reach! Available now. 2 pets max, 35 lb weight limit.
