Modern architecture meets everyday livability in this striking East Austin single-family home with no condo regime. Just minutes from downtown Austin and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the home pairs distinctive design with low-maintenance living, making it equally well suited for a primary residence, second home, or investment property. Wrapped in reclaimed warehouse metal with a durable metal roof, the exterior makes a bold architectural statement while keeping ongoing maintenance to a minimum. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows fill the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas with natural light. The kitchen features an oversized island with ample seating, stainless steel appliances, sleek open shelving, a zellige tile backsplash, and a built-in work center. Elevated finishes, included appliances, and window treatments throughout mean many of the expenses that often come with new construction have already been taken care of. Sliding glass doors open to a private, landscaped yard with a tranquil Italian countryside-inspired fountain and evening lighting that transforms the space after dark. A stucco privacy fence and mature olive and holly trees create separation from the energy of East Austin. Above it all, the rooftop deck has downtown skyline views and offers another memorable space for entertaining or unwinding. The flexible floor plan includes three bedrooms, three full baths, and a third-floor bonus space that can easily function as a fourth bedroom, home office, or additional living space. Dedicated areas for work and fitness add even more versatility. For buyers seeking investment potential, the property has a proven booking history and can be sold fully furnished and turnkey, creating an opportunity to step into an established setup from day one. For owner-occupants, it offers the same flexibility with the privacy, low-maintenance construction, and thoughtful details that set it apart from much of the surrounding new construction.

At $514/sqft, this home is priced 32% above the Austin active market average of $390/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
