Ideally located off RR 2222, northeast of the Colorado River, the home is surrounded by mature oaks and thoughtful landscaping, creating a private hillside retreat in one of Northwest Hills most desirable enclaves.

Schmeil, AIA, and featured on the 2020 AIA Austin Homes Tour, the residence showcases refined modern architecture, walls of glass, expansive decks, a pool, and a seamless connection to its natural surroundings.

Inside, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows frame the trees and views, while oak hardwood floors, high-end windows, stone and siding exterior details, and striking ironwork add warmth, texture, and character throughout. Outside, the professionally landscaped grounds, pool, multiple decks, and private outdoor living spaces create an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying Austin’s peaceful hillside lifestyle.
