1607 Mohle Dr, Austin, TX 78703

A one-of-a-kind modern masterpiece on the cusp of Bryker Woods and Pemberton Heights, this stunning home--thoughtfully designed by legendary Austin architect Kevin Alter of Alterstudio--is the epitome of modern luxury. Featured in Dwell Magazine and recognized for multiple AIA awards, this home is inspired by the natural simplicity of the mid-century modern aesthetic. The one-story home’s stucco exterior is warmed by curved hand-crafted oak paneling, wrapping the interior and exterior of the house in exquisite design and function. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook an organic xeriscaped courtyard and skylights allow natural light to flood through, giving residents and visitors the feel of being ensconced in natural luxury. Upon entering the home, you will be awed by stunning wide-plank, white oak wood floors and long paneled hallways that provide both openness and privacy. Hidden behind these paneled walls are closets, bathrooms and the most stunning primary bath, which features un-lacquered brass Waterworks plumbing fixtures, large format, etched tile, and a private entrance to an outdoor shower. Moving outdoors, a beautiful plunge pool, hot tub, and well-maintained garden beds make for the perfect natural oasis to enjoy in the early morning or after a long day. The property also has space and permitted plans for a 450-square foot casita that will convey with the sale of the home. Ideally located for all seasons of family life, kids or grandkids will love living in or visiting this bikeable neighborhood, with walkability to campus, restaurants and the variety of coffee shops and retail opportunities at the Kerbey Lane Village. This amazing home blends the best of modern design with natural beauty in a highly desired neighborhood to offer a truly special way of life.

Bryker Woods is a 1930s-50s neighborhood in 78703, between West 29th and 38th streets, defined by front-porch bungalows, mature tree canopy, and walkability to the 35th Street dining corridor. Median home price $1.5M. Austin ISD schools — Bryker Woods Elementary is one of the few Austin campuses where every family walks.

The housing stock is almost entirely original bungalows and cottages on lots under a quarter acre. Some have been carefully updated, others are untouched. The Old West Austin National Register Historic District designation covers the area, which explains the cohesive streetscape. New construction exists but must work within the scale of the neighborhood. Lot values run $600K-$1M.

Daily life revolves around proximity. Kerbey Lane Cafe (open since 1980) and Central Market on North Lamar are walkable or a short bike ride. Shoal Creek Trail runs along the neighborhood edge. UT campus is a 15-minute bike ride — no parking pass needed. Tiny Boxwoods and Postino on 35th Street handle the dinner rotation.

What separates Bryker Woods from adjacent Tarrytown: smaller scale, lower price point, and a denser, more walkable feel. The lots are compact but the canopy makes them feel larger. This is a neighborhood for people who value community proximity over estate-level privacy.
