Set on a cul-de-sac and backing directly to the Barton Creek Preserve, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers an irreplaceable connection to nature with private trail access from your own backyard. The peaceful, park-like setting is just minutes from Regents School of Austin, St. Andrew’s, and a short drive to St. Michael’s Academy—blending everyday convenience with serene surroundings. Inside, you’re welcomed by a generous floor plan with over 3,700 square feet of living space. A dramatic Texas limestone fireplace rises from floor to ceiling in the living room, complemented by long-leaf pine double front doors and mantle. The kitchen, dining, and family rooms flow seamlessly together, with additional access to the formal dining room for more intimate gatherings. A custom-built nook with built-in storage adds a unique and functional touch. A dedicated study sits at the front of the home, and could be used as a first floor bedroom as a full bath is attached. All four bedrooms are located upstairs, including the spacious primary suite with French doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the verdant preserve. The en suite bath features separate vanities, a walk-in shower, garden tub, and walk-in closet. This custom home was built by Alan Muskin and designed by architect Dean Rose, with inspiration drawn from classic Italian villas. Custom maple cabinetry throughout, fresh interior paint, touchups and new carpet provide a timeless foundation and a clean slate. The expansive covered patio and detached 2-car garage complete the picture. Located near shopping, dining, greenbelt trails, and with quick access to downtown Austin and the airport—this is a property that truly offers the best of both worlds.
