Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac street in coveted Highland Park, this beautifully designed contemporary home offers the rare combination of newer construction, timeless finishes, and an exceptional Central Austin location. Built in 2015 on a sprawling quarter-acre lot and zoned to highly sought-after Highland Park Elementary, this four-bedroom, three-bath residence blends everyday functionality with refined style in one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods.
A grand foyer creates an inviting first impression, leading into light-filled living spaces where soft white walls, warm wood tones, natural greens, and classic plantation shutters create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.
