New 2025 construction with 5,573 square feet at $271 per square foot is the defining advantage at 169 Bird Holw in Austin. In a Dripping Springs ISD location that feeds to Cypress Springs, Sycamore Springs, and Dripping Springs High, this is a large-format single family home on 0.3414 acres with a program that fits how buyers actually live today: five bedrooms, five full baths, three half baths, and a 4-car garage.

The floor plan is built around separation, volume, and function. A double front door leads into a formal entry anchored by a curved staircase, with French doors creating true privacy for both the office and the game room near the front of the house. The main living area centers on a fireplace, tall ceilings, and direct connection to the covered backyard patio through a large sliding glass door, which gives the first floor a strong indoor-outdoor relationship without forcing the public rooms to feel exposed. The kitchen and morning area are positioned for daily use, with long stretches of counter space, an island with seating, a walk-in pantry, and a prep kitchen that matters for entertaining, catering, or keeping the main kitchen controlled during busy family routines. The dining room gains natural light from two walls of windows and has more than one point of entry, which helps traffic flow during larger gatherings.

The first-floor primary suite is designed as a true owner’s wing, with a wall of windows, a bath organized around separate vanities, a garden tub, a glass-enclosed shower, two walk-in closets, and direct utility room access. A private guest suite on the main level adds flexibility for multigenerational living or long-stay visitors. Upstairs, the house continues to work hard, with a media room behind French doors, secondary bedrooms with en suite baths and walk-in closets, and a balcony overlooking the backyard.

At $1.51M, the value here is not just in the bedroom count or the square footage. It is in getting new construction scale, specialized spaces, and a strong school path in Austin, all on a lot large enough to give the home breathing room. For buyers thinking about long-term hold potential, that combination tends to stay relevant because it aligns with how the upper end of the market measures utility, privacy, and resale strength.
