Behind a gated entrance in Bouldin Creek, this contemporary home pairs a level of privacy and outdoor space rarely found so close to Downtown. Mature trees, a pool, and a series of outdoor living areas create a setting that feels more retreat than city residence. Sunlight moves easily through the open-plan interior, where clean architectural lines and thoughtful proportions create an atmosphere that feels both refined and livable. The kitchen anchors the main level, offering a panel-ready refrigerator, generous storage and a discreet powder bath. The second story includes a generous primary suite with a walk-in closet, spa-like bath, and balcony set among the tree canopy. An additional bedroom, full bath, and laundry area complete the level. Above, a flexible third-floor retreat serves equally well as a guest suite, office, media room, or third bedroom. Its private balcony captures wide views of the city skyline, with sunsets and Fourth of July fireworks as a seasonal backdrop. In a neighborhood where century-old cottages, contemporary architecture, and long-standing local businesses coexist block by block, the home feels reflective of Bouldin Creek itself: connected, evolving, and distinctly Austin.
