9400 Shady Oaks DR, Austin TX 78729

Scandinavian-inspired and architecturally striking, this custom “U”-shaped residence by Austin City Homes is nestled on one of Austin’s last coveted infill lots, thoughtfully designed around monumental heritage oak trees for a rare blend of modern living and natural serenity. Known as the “Cross Energy Home,” it was intentionally engineered to maximize airflow and natural light through strategically placed entry points, six expansive Quaker sliding glass walls, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and dramatic corner windows that beautifully blur the line between indoors and out.

Wrapped in sophisticated gunmetal gray CupaClad slate siding, the home showcases clean-lined modern architecture, no wasted space, and seamless indoor-outdoor living centered around a 425-square-foot covered patio tucked beneath the preserved oak canopy. Built as a high-performance envelope home, it features advanced insulation, enhanced air filtration, and a variable-speed Trane HVAC system for exceptional year-round efficiency and comfort.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers three spacious bedrooms, a dedicated home office, and an additional gameroom or second living area, providing flexibility for today’s lifestyle. Additional highlights include EV charger capability, a low tax rate, and an unbeatable location just minutes from The Domain, Springwoods Park, and Central Austin, making this home a truly rare architectural retreat in the heart of the city.
