Completed in 2021 as the personal residence of homebuilder Roost Custom Homes, this thoughtfully designed 3,260 SF home with a garage apartment blends timeless character with modern family living. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath main home (including two bedrooms on the main level) features a light-filled layout with the living room, chef’s kitchen, and expansive screened porch flowing together for effortless entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with a Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package, quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a walnut butcher block island, while oversized Marvin windows and a Western sliding door connect the home seamlessly to the outdoors.

The screened porch functions as an additional living space with a fireplace and built-in seating, perfect for year-round gatherings. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms, a shared bath, and a flexible third-level space currently used as a game room.

The fully fenced backyard features an ipe deck, artificial turf, mature landscaping, and a private putting green. A detached 1.5-car garage with alley access and motorized gate includes a self-contained garage apartment—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or rental potential.

High-end finishes throughout include European white oak floors, custom steel accents, flush inset cabinetry, marble and quartzite surfaces, a steam shower in the primary bath, standing seam metal roof, and a beautiful heritage live oak anchoring the front yard.

Zoned to highly acclaimed Bryker Woods Elementary (walkable), O. Henry Middle, and Austin High, and also walkable to St. Andrew’s Episcopal School. Minutes to Downtown Austin and walkable to shops, restaurants, hospitals, and the Shoal Creek Trail.

The grand foyer of 1807 W 37th Street in Oakmont Heights announces itself with architectural intention. Built in 2021 by Roost Custom Homes as the builder's personal residence, this 3,260-square-foot home represents the uncompromising standard a craftsman sets for his own family. At $821 per square foot, the property delivers the kind of thoughtful design and material quality that commands respect in the Austin ISD market.

The entertaining spaces form the home's heart. A chef's kitchen anchors the main floor with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a walnut butcher block island that invites both function and conversation. Large Marvin windows and a Western sliding door dissolve the boundary between interior and outdoors. The living areas flow into an expansive screened porch with fireplace and built-in seating, creating a year-round gathering space that captures the essence of Austin outdoor living without compromise. This is not a token deck but a genuine extension of living square footage.

Upstairs, the second level includes two additional bedrooms and a shared bath, while the third level offers flexible space currently configured as a game room. The primary suite occupies the main floor, a deliberate choice that prioritizes convenience for daily living while maintaining privacy from guest areas.

The grounds reflect decades of landscape maturity combined with modern amenities. A heritage live oak anchors the front yard, visible from W 37th Street as a neighborhood landmark. The fully fenced backyard features an ipe deck, artificial turf, mature landscaping, and a putting green that transforms the space into a private retreat. A detached garage with 1.5-car capacity sits accessed via alley, with a motorized gate securing the entry. The garage apartment functions as independent living space, ideal for multi-generational families, guest quarters, or income potential.

High-end finishes include European white oak flooring throughout main areas, custom steel accents, flush-inset cabinetry, marble and quartzite surfaces, a steam shower in the primary bath, and a standing seam metal roof. Smart home systems, tankless water heater, and WaterSense fixtures balance elegance with modern efficiency. Cork and marble flooring in select spaces add distinctive character.

Location places the home within the Bryker Woods Elementary, O. Henry Middle, and Austin High attendance zones. Bryker Woods sits walkable from the property, a critical advantage for families prioritizing school access without long drives. St. Andrew's Episcopal School is also within walking distance. The Shoal Creek Trail provides immediate access to Austin's trail system, while nearby shops, restaurants, and hospitals cluster minutes away. Downtown Austin sits approximately 10 minutes north via Lamar Boulevard.

This property represents what happens when a skilled builder builds for himself, rather than for inventory turnover. The result is architecture with staying power.
