2203 Mountain View Rd, Austin, TX 78703

Timeless Tarrytown charm meets modern livability in this 1941 classic cottage, thoughtfully reimagined by award-winning architect David Webber of Webber Studio. Featured in multiple publications and on the AIA Homes Tour, this light-filled jewel blends architectural integrity with approachable sophistication on one of Tarrytown’s most beloved streets. A welcoming private entry opens to artfully curated interiors that feel like a spotlit gallery, where arched openings, Kolbe & Kolbe windows, and a mix of warm oak and pine floors create an inviting flow of light and texture. The reconfigured kitchen serves as the heart of the home, a sunny gathering spot where culinary enthusiasts enjoy garden views through a wall of French doors that open to the back deck and greenery filled yard. Thoughtful finishes include a tumbled limestone backsplash, open shelving, and a cozy corner bench alcove that invites conversation and connection. This true three-bedroom, three-bath residence lives effortlessly, with updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems throughout for modern comfort and reliability. A true two-car garage plus a full two-car carport offer rare convenience and flexible covered parking options. Ideally located in the heart of Tarrytown, this modern, light-filled jewel captures the enduring spirit of Austin’s most sought after neighborhood close to parks, Lake Austin, top-rated schools, golf, and Downtown.

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.
