2102 Palo Pinto Dr, Austin, TX 78723

The rare Central Austin house that doesn’t ask you to choose; not between a pool & a real backyard, privacy & abundant natural light, peaceful park-front setting & easy access to Mueller and Manor Road, beautiful design & everyday function. Set along a quiet one-way street overlooking a neighborhood greenbelt, this residence by Making Modern Home - with Pavonetti Architecture and constructed by ATX Development - begins with an elevated front terrace overlooking mature trees. Inside, curved walls, arches, skylights and a custom staircase create a home that feels gracious, bright and considered from the moment you enter. The vaulted great room brings together generous living and dining spaces with an expansive kitchen centered around an 11-foot island. Warm wood cabinetry, handcrafted zellige, leathered Pietra Gray marble and brass, alabaster and woven lighting create a collected palette. A sculptural marble fireplace anchors the living room, while French doors open to the covered terrace, private marble-clad plunge pool and generous backyard. A park-facing office and full bath are downstairs. The primary bedroom feels tucked among the trees, with oversized windows, two walk-in closets and a skylit bath with curved white oak vanity, Carrara marble and fluted soaking tub. Upstairs offers a windowed laundry and two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets. Real herringbone wood floors, Level 4 smooth drywall, sound insulation between floors and around baths/laundry, ZIP sheathing, irrigation, and thoughtfully placed windows and skylights speak to the quality details considered throughout. Trails lead toward Mueller for the farmers market and shopping, while Manor Road proximity offers Cherrywood favorites nearby. Zoned to beloved Maplewood Elementary, Kealing Middle and Mccallum High. Some homes photograph beautifully. This one lives even better than it looks. A residence by Making Modern Home. Designed to endure. Built to belong.
