1708 Vista Ln, Austin, TX 78703

Custom built in 2016, this contemporary Tarrytown home embodies sleek design and functionality. Downstairs, a guest bedroom with ensuite and office with built-ins bookend the entrance, with reclaimed antique tobacco pine floors leading you to the spacious open floor plan. The kitchen, dining, and living area overlook the impressive outdoor living and pool through sleek steel windows and doors while custom lighting throughout illuminates high-end finishes, including Hermes wallpaper in the kitchen bar area with a wine refrigerator and built-in wine storage. The gourmet kitchen also features a Wolf range, walk-in pantry, and farm sink. On the second level, the primary suite includes a bathroom finished with Calcutta tile, a study, and a huge walk-in closet, right next to the laundry room. Two additional bedrooms and a marble Jack and Jill bath sit on the second floor, with the third floor opening up to a flex space, perfect for a studio or playroom. However, the true magic of this home occurs outdoors by the large swimming pool, with a beautiful covered patio space with kitchen and built-in grill area and outdoor TV. A custom pool cover, outdoor shower, and pool bathroom make it easy to maintain the space and keep things clean. With interior design by YellowDoor Design and landscape design and maintenance by Dig Austin Gardens, this stunning home delivers high-end living from the heart of Tarrytown.

Tarrytown is a historic Central Austin neighborhood in 78703, five minutes from downtown and bordered by Lake Austin to the west. Median home price $1.95M. Austin ISD schools - Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, Austin High - and walkability to Deep Eddy Pool, Lady Bird Lake, and Mayfield Park.

The housing stock spans nine decades. Original 1930s-60s colonials, Tudors, and ranch homes sit alongside new construction and gut renovations on lots ranging from 0.15 to 0.3 acres. Lakefront properties on Scenic Drive and streets near Lake Austin command $4M-$15M+. The neighborhood's character has been protected by an engaged neighborhood association and the McMansion Ordinance, which limits building scale.

Daily life here runs on the water and the schools. Morning laps at Deep Eddy Pool (68-degree spring-fed water year-round), school drop-off at Casis, coffee at Tarrytown Pharmacy or Summer Moon, dinner at Jeffrey's or Josephine House without leaving the neighborhood. The Contemporary at Laguna Gloria and Lions Municipal Golf Course are a walk or short bike ride away.

What makes Tarrytown distinct from other luxury Austin neighborhoods: genuine walkability, a 90-year-old neighborhood identity, and Central Austin access that Westlake and Barton Creek cannot match. The tradeoff is Austin ISD instead of Eanes, and smaller lots than you'd find west of MoPac.
