At the center of two of South Austin’s most celebrated corridors, this home offers a location that is difficult to replicate. Walk to Summer Moon Coffee or Cosmic Pickle, explore the restaurants and shops along South Congress and South First, or reach the new SoCo H-E-B and Downtown Austin within minutes.

Custom built by David Weekley Homes, the residence makes a strong first impression with its prominent corner presence and clean, modern farmhouse architecture. A covered porch, pitched rooflines, contrasting siding, and a standing-seam metal accent roof give the exterior character without feeling overdone. An expansive lawn, warm wood privacy fence, and restrained green front door complete the setting.

Inside, wide-plank wood floors and abundant natural light carry through an open living, dining, and kitchen space. The intuitive layout balances gathering areas with the privacy and practicality of everyday life. A dedicated office with French doors provides a quiet place to work, while a built-in mud bench creates an organized transition from the garage. Set apart from the main living space, the primary suite features a trayed ceiling and a generous bath with a freestanding tub, walk-in glass shower, dual vanity, and oversized closet with direct access to the utility room.

Upstairs, a spacious second living area offers flexibility as a media lounge, playroom, or private retreat. Two well-proportioned guest bedrooms are each paired with a full bathroom, including one en suite, giving family and guests comfort and separation.

For the buyer who values thoughtful design as much as a remarkable location, this home rewards a discerning eye. Refined without feeling formal and practical without compromising character, it represents a confident choice in one of South Austin’s most desirable settings.

At $575/sqft, this home is priced 46% above the Austin active market average of $393/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
