2404 Enfield Rd, Austin, TX 78703

Originally designed by renowned Austin architect David Shiflet, this one-of-a-kind home blends architectural integrity with thoughtful, modern updates. Tucked behind an 8-foot wall, a reimagined courtyard welcomes you into a private sanctuary, complete with curated landscaping, a tranquil fountain, and lush green space—setting the tone for the home’s seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Spanning 2,599 square feet, the layout features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a light-filled living area, grounded by imported terrazzo flooring throughout. Meticulously renovated in 2018–2019, the home honors its original spirit while meeting today’s standards of luxury. Custom red oak cabinetry and vintage lighting by Gaetano Sciolari and Palwa create a sense of understated sophistication, while marble-clad bathrooms and a wood-burning fireplace offer timeless elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light into every bedroom, each with an en suite bath. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and walk-in shower, with marble extending across both walls and flooring for a seamless, elevated finish. A wall of sliding glass opens to the backyard—connecting the interior to the heated pool, hot tub, and surrounding landscaping. The design blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, allowing natural light and serene views to flow throughout the space. Recent upgrades include energy-efficient double-paned windows and skylight, tankless water heater, HVAC system, and a new roof. A detached two-car garage sits at the front of the property. Located minutes from Lake Austin, downtown, UT, and Zilker Park, this architectural gem offers privacy, character, and convenience in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
