2504 S 4th St, Austin, TX 78704

Tucked into a large, private wooded lot in the heart of 78704, The Loft is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with soaring ceilings and walls of windows that fill the interior with natural light. Built in 2012 and set on a generous .24-acre lot, the property offers rare privacy while remaining close to the energy of South Austin.

Acacia wood floors add warmth throughout the living spaces, and the kitchen has been updated with new countertops and backsplash tile. The primary suite includes a renovated bathroom, a custom closet, and a dramatic loft-style connection to the living space below, with a custom wood-and-metal handrail catwalk that leads to one of the home’s outdoor decks and a luxury outdoor living area.

A recently built 20x20 rooftop deck over the garage, designed by architect François Lévy and constructed by R Builders, creates a standout entertaining space. The deck features an industrial-grade sunshade, a built-in roll-top cabinet with a mounted 65” TV, and a granite counter with stainless storage and a new outdoor refrigerator.

Behind the house, a custom 12x8 detached office/gym (Tuff Shed, custom designed) provides flexible space for work or fitness. The structure includes French doors, LVP flooring, LED lighting, a modern porch light, mini-split climate control (Mr. Cool), and full insulation and drywall.

The property also includes a two-car garage, custom landscaping upgrades, and multiple outdoor living areas. Located just minutes from South Lamar and South First, the home offers easy access to many of the restaurants, shops, and destinations that define 78704 living.

2504 S 4th St in Austin stands out for something buyers in 78704 track closely: a 0.244 acre lot paired with a 2,172 square foot single family home built in 2012. At $1.29M, or $594 per square foot, that combination carries weight in a part of Austin where lot size, construction era, and usable outdoor space often decide long term value more than surface finishes alone.

This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath residence with a two car garage and only four days on market, which suggests early traction. The site is a major part of the story. A lot this size gives the home room for separation, outdoor use, and a stronger sense of privacy than many tighter parcels in the same ZIP code. The wooded setting, soaring ceilings, and broad window walls work together to bring natural light deep into the house and keep the interior connected to the exterior. Acacia wood floors, updated kitchen countertops and backsplash tile, and a renovated primary bath show practical improvements in the areas buyers tend to examine most carefully.

The layout also offers elements that are harder to replicate than cosmetic updates. The primary suite connects to the living area below through a loft style design with a custom wood and metal handrail catwalk, which adds a clear architectural point of difference. That catwalk leads toward one of the outdoor decks, and the outdoor living program here is more developed than what is typical at this price point. The 20 by 20 rooftop deck above the garage, designed by architect Francois Levy and built by R Builders, creates a true secondary entertaining space with an industrial grade sunshade, mounted 65 inch TV, granite counter, stainless storage, and an outdoor refrigerator. Behind the house, the detached 12 by 8 office or gym adds another layer of flexibility with French doors, LVP flooring, LED lighting, mini-split climate control, insulation, and drywall.

For buyers weighing school path, the home is in Austin ISD with Galindo Elementary, Lively Middle, and Travis High. The location also matters. Access to South Lamar and South First ties the property to two of the corridors that shape daily life and long term demand in this part of South Austin. In market terms, this is a property with several value drivers working at once: newer construction, a larger lot, distinct architecture, and multiple finished spaces that expand how the home can be used over time.
