2002 Meadowbrook Dr, Austin, TX 78703

This 1948 single-story mid-century modern home sits on one of Tarrytown's most desirable streets, lined with gorgeous mature trees and set on a wide, quiet road. The home has been fully updated without losing its character. Vaulted ceilings carry across the main living space, wood and tile floors run underfoot, and a fireplace anchors the living room for the months Austin actually gets cold. The kitchen is the kind that gets used: green cabinetry, a center island, a six-burner Thermador range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, suited to someone who actually cooks rather than just photographs it. Three bedrooms sit on the main level, including a primary suite and a third bedroom built around a raised sleeping loft, the detail every buyer remembers after walking through. The current owners have put real work into this home. They updated and upgraded the kitchen, added solid hardwood floors throughout, replaced the windows, and invested in landscaping improvements including irrigation for the backyard. A separate attached space off the main house opens up options: a gym, an art studio, a yoga room, a podcast room, a playroom, or an extra TV room, whatever the next owner actually needs. A screened porch and a private deck step down into a level, fenced back yard on nearly a fifth of an acre, big enough for a garden bed, a dog, or a table that seats ten on a Saturday night. The systems are already handled: central heat and air, gas utilities, and a membrane roof, so the next owner inherits none of the usual to-do list. The location is what makes Tarrytown Tarrytown. Lake Austin and the Muny golf course are minutes away, along with Mozart's for coffee on Lake Austin water and WAYA for children's sports and activities. HEB Lake Austin and Randalls cover the everyday errands without ever leaving the neighborhood. Zoned to Austin ISD's Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, and Austin High, this is a fully updated Tarrytown home ready to move into now.

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.
