2909 Hillview Rd, Austin, TX 78703

Fully rebuilt in 2016 by Austin-based iSARK Studio, this gorgeous modern retreat in the heart of Tarrytown has since been thoughtfully upgraded by its current owner with a stunning dual-sided gas fireplace, a stylish built-in bar anchoring the dining area, and an enhanced chef’s kitchen featuring new appliances, countertops, designer backsplash, and a beautifully updated butler’s pantry. The luxurious primary bath has also been completely remodeled with an expanded vanity and a spacious shower-tub combination.

Striking architecture featuring metal, stucco, and Ipe wood creates unforgettable curb appeal, while black Noir honed travertine, rich walnut floors, glass-paneled doors, and skylights fill the home with warmth and natural light. The open-concept four-bedroom, three-bath floor plan flows effortlessly from the kitchen to the living and dining areas before opening to the renovated pool and pool house, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining.

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.
