At 1712 Nash Ave Unit A in the Zilker neighborhood of Austin, this 2,491 square foot residence delivers the rare combination of a true single-family home experience with the refined finishes of a luxury resort within Travis County, Austin ISD. Built in 2020, the home sits on a private 0.0855 acre lot along a quiet, walkable street moments from South Lamar Boulevard and Lady Bird Lake, offering the lifestyle freedom most Austin residents only imagine.

The interior flows seamlessly across an open floor plan anchored by French oak hardwood flooring and a chef's kitchen with quartz countertops and abundant storage that connects directly to living and dining areas through expansive sliding glass doors. Four bedrooms and three and a half baths distribute across three levels, with the primary suite featuring a spa-inspired bathroom and generous walk-in closet. The top floor bonus room with its own full bath and private terrace capturing downtown Austin views works equally well as a fourth bedroom, dedicated office, or fitness space, while smart thermostat and recessed lighting throughout support the refined daily living experience. Ceiling fans, chandeliers, and a sophisticated color palette create the calm atmosphere of a refined retreat.

The true draw of 1712 Nash is its private resort-style outdoor living. A heated private pool anchors the fenced yard, accessible directly from the main living spaces. Multiple patio and deck areas create natural zones for entertaining or solitude, while an electric car plug-in and dog run acknowledge modern convenience and family life. Native plantings and automatic sprinkler systems ensure the landscape supports rather than demands your attention.

From this Zilker address, Barton Springs Park and the city's famous hike-and-bike trail are moments away on foot. Zilker Elementary, O Henry Middle, and Austin High School anchor the Austin ISD schools serving the area. The neighborhood itself is walkable to South Lamar's restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses that define Austin's character. At $632 per square foot, this represents the modern Zilker living proposition: a genuinely private home with the amenities and location that create an everyday retreat without requiring you to leave the city.

Zilker is the only neighborhood in Austin where you can complete an entire day - morning run, afternoon swim, evening dinner - without ever sitting in a car. The Butler Trail starts at your doorstep. Barton Springs Pool is a walk across the park. Barton Springs Road has enough restaurants to fill a week. That car-free possibility is not a marketing pitch. People here actually live that way.

The neighborhood sits south of Lady Bird Lake, bounded by MoPac west, Lamar east, Barton Skyway south, and the lake north. Zilker Park, the 351-acre green space, occupies the northeast corner where Barton Creek meets the lake. Downtown is across the Lamar or First Street bridge, five to ten minutes and entirely bikeable. Terry Black's serves competition-grade barbecue. Odd Duck does seasonal small plates. Uchi is widely considered one of the best Japanese restaurants in the country. Juliet Italian Kitchen handles the neighborhood spot role. Loro does Thai-inspired barbecue. Tiki Tatsu-Ya turns a strip mall into an immersive experience. Nido at The Loren brings hotel-level dining to the south end.

Craftsman bungalows from the 1930s anchor many streets with covered porches and mature pecans. Mid-Century Ranch homes fill blocks closer to Barton Skyway. Contemporary builds have replaced many originals, especially near the park and trail. A block might have three bungalows, a Ranch, and two new contemporaries side by side. Prices start around $800,000 for a small bungalow needing work and climb past $3 million for new construction with park proximity. The median hovers around $1.3 million. Lots are modest, typically 5,000 to 8,000 square feet.

Zilker Elementary has a devoted parent community that has invested through fundraising and advocacy, with a strong arts program. Students feed into O. Henry Middle School and Austin High School, located directly on Lady Bird Lake with an unusual campus setting for an urban school. Families who choose Zilker schools value walkability, diversity, and community engagement over the metrics-driven approach of some suburban districts.

A typical weekday starts with a morning run on the Butler Trail, which loops around Lady Bird Lake. Midday might include Barton Springs Pool, the three-acre spring-fed pool that stays 68 degrees year-round. The Barton Creek Greenbelt is accessible from multiple trailheads. The Violet Crown Trail pushes south into the Hill Country. Zilker Park hosts ACL in October and Trail of Lights in December, but the rest of the year it is a neighborhood park: soccer games, picnics, paddleboard launches, and a botanical garden.

Zilker competes with Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, and Barton Hills. Travis Heights has similar character but sits farther from the park and trail system. Bouldin Creek is quieter with lower prices but lacks direct park adjacency. Barton Hills offers more space but requires driving to dining. Zilker's advantage is the combination of park access, trail access, restaurant walkability, and downtown proximity that no other neighborhood matches simultaneously.

Zilker is for buyers who want a car-optional lifestyle in the center of Austin's best outdoor amenities. It works for active couples, families who want kids growing up at Barton Springs, and anyone who measures quality of life in trail miles and walkable restaurants rather than square footage and garage bays.
