A designer's personal home, where effortless chic meets everyday function.

This is what it looks like when a designer renovates her own home.

Quietly positioned on a no-through-traffic street in coveted Steiner Ranch, this limestone residence has been transformed by its designer-owner into something the market rarely sees: a truly turnkey home with over $130,000 in curated upgrades completed between 2023 and 2026. The fully reimagined kitchen sets the tone — quartz countertops and backsplash, custom vent hood, Zline range cooktop, new cabinet doors and drawer fronts, under-cabinet lighting, and layered sconces, all opening to the living area for effortless entertaining. New engineered hardwood flows through most of the home. Every surface has been considered: fresh interior paint throughout, custom drapery in the primary suite, living room, and office, Roman shades in the breakfast nook and guest bedrooms, updated fireplace tile and mantle, and new lighting and ceiling fans in every room. Outdoors, the backyard was reimagined with artificial turf, a firepit with rocks and pavers, and mature shade trees. The front yard features a two-phase xeriscape transformation with native plants, a magnolia tree, and a stone pathway from street to front door. Mechanicals are equally dialed in: new 50-gallon gas water heater, dedicated irrigation valve, and new garage door springs. High ceilings, large windows with natural light that pours in. Homes with this level of investment and design intention in Steiner Ranch are exceptionally rare. Note that the 4th bedroom is used as the home office.

At $318/sqft, this home is 19% below the Austin active market average of $393/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
