3100 Garwood St, Austin, TX 78702

Anchored by the largest residential tree in the City of Austin — a generational pecan canopy — 3100 Garwood is a newly completed Trident build behind a private gated drive. A custom handmade iron front door, forged specifically for this home, sets the tone: every surface is bespoke. European white oak floors throughout, solid oak stair treads, custom iron railings, and an Italian glass partitioned study lend architectural drama beneath beamed and vaulted ceilings, anchored by a piece-of-art crystal-and-gold chandelier with color-adjustable LED.

The kitchen is the home's gravitational center — a sweeping radius island in Shadow Storm quartzite, Fisher & Paykel appliances, and bespoke custom cabinetry. Shadow Storm carries into the outdoor kitchen, powder bath, and laundry. Upstairs baths are finished in Evalina quartzite; a crystal-cut basin elevates the powder.

The primary suite is its own destination — Evalina quartzite, a custom river pebble shower floor beneath a multi-head rain shower, and a jetted soaking tub. The closet is engineered like a boutique: solid wood adjustable built-ins, shoe racks, and integrated cabinetry.

The flex room is larger than any other on the market — game room, theater, nursery, playroom, gym, or fourth bedroom as life evolves. A custom nook beneath the stairs doubles as a dog house or kids' playhouse.

Construction integrity backs the design: a Highland Slate Designer roof with high impact rating, full French drain system, custom tile and brickwork throughout, epoxy-coated garage, EV charging port, and energy-efficient HVAC.

Outside, an exclusive Parson's-designed multi-tiered backyard wraps a heated pool, vintage handmade fire bowl and seating, and full outdoor kitchen — all beneath the pecan canopy.

Moments from East 6th, downtown, Mueller, the Capitol, and the Medical District. The Eastside address everyone wants — with the lot, light, and custom detail almost no one else has.

A huge Eastside pecan tree sets the tone at 3100 Garwood St, a 2026-built single family residence with a private pool priced at $2.10 million, or $735 per square foot. At 3100 Garwood St in East Austin, what stands out is how rarely you find this mix of new construction, real privacy, and a usable 0.1553-acre lot this close to central Austin.

The numbers make the case quickly. This Austin, TX 78702 home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, 2,856 square feet, and a 2-car garage. The floor plan gives buyers flexibility, whether the fourth bedroom works best as guest space, an office, or a second living area. The private pool changes how the backyard lives day to day. In this part of East Austin, outdoor space with shade, room to entertain, and a pool is not common at this level of finish.

Location is a major part of the value. Garwood Street puts you near Airport Boulevard, Springdale Road, and East 7th Street, which means fast access to Downtown Austin, the Holly district, and the east side restaurant corridor. Govalle Park is close for trails, playgrounds, and open space. Springdale Green adds another nearby anchor with office, retail, and dining activity that continues to reshape this stretch of the Eastside. Depending on traffic, Downtown Austin is roughly 10 minutes away, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is about 15 minutes, and Tesla Gigafactory Texas is generally within a 15 to 20 minute drive via US-183.

For school planning, the property is in Austin ISD and assigned to Govalle Elementary, Martin Middle School, and Eastside Early College High School. Those are important entity markers for buyers targeting 78702 and looking for a home with a clear school path inside the urban core. Travis County buyers also tend to watch new-build inventory closely in this pocket because the supply stays limited while demand for close-in East Austin continues to hold.

With only 3 days on market, this is the kind of address that gets attention from buyers who know the Eastside well. 3100 Garwood St offers the hard-to-replace combination of lot size, new construction, pool, and access, and that usually supports both stronger day-to-day living and durable long-term value.

East Austin is the only neighborhood in the city where you can walk from a James Beard Award-winning restaurant to a converted warehouse gallery to a live music venue to a craft cocktail bar without ever getting in your car. That walkability, combined with a building boom that has reshaped the housing stock over the past decade, makes East Austin the most dynamic real estate market in Central Texas.

East Austin stretches from I-35 on the west to Highway 183 on the east, with Lady Bird Lake forming the southern boundary and roughly MLK Boulevard marking the northern edge of the 78702 core. The 78722 zip extends the identity further north and east. Downtown is immediately across I-35 - five minutes by car, 15 by bicycle. East Cesar Chavez, East 6th, and East 7th serve as commercial corridors, each with its own personality. East Cesar Chavez leans toward taquerias and family shops, East 6th trends cocktail bars and restaurants, East 7th mixes galleries with newer retail.

Modern townhomes and duplexes make up about 35% of sales activity, concentrated on infill lots. Original shotgun bungalows and Craftsman homes account for 25%, mostly on quieter streets east of Chicon - typically 800 to 1,200 square feet on generous lots with ADU potential. Contemporary custom homes represent 15%, with architects like Bercy Chen and Alterstudio producing some of the most interesting residential design in Texas. Unrenovated bungalows start in the mid-$400s. Renovated historic homes with ADUs land between $700,000 and $1 million. New townhomes cluster around $600,000 to $900,000. Custom builds cross $1.5 million.

East Austin falls within Austin ISD. Zavala Elementary and Blackshear Elementary handle early grades. Martin and Kealing Middle Schools are the primary options, with Kealing's magnet program drawing students districtwide. Eastside Memorial High School serves the area, though many families opt for LASA, private schools, or open-enrollment options. The school landscape is more complex than in neighborhoods with a single feeder pattern, and specific addresses matter.

The lifestyle is what people picture when they think of modern Austin. Morning starts at Cenote or Fleet Coffee. Franklin Barbecue's line forms early, but locals order ahead. The dining concentration is remarkable. Suerte does modern Mexican with in-house nixtamal. Nixta Taqueria won a James Beard Award. Launderette turns a converted laundromat into one of Austin's best brunch spots. Canje brings Caribbean cooking to Holly Street. Kemuri Tatsu-Ya fuses izakaya with smokehouse. Via 313 has been making Detroit-style pizza since before the current boom. The Butler Trail, Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Roy Guerrero Park, and Mueller Lake Park provide outdoor options.

East Austin offers urban density and walkability unmatched outside downtown, at prices that undercut the west side significantly. Compared to South Congress, it provides more housing variety and better value per square foot. Compared to Mueller, it trades master-planned orderliness for more character. The main concerns are the pace of change and the east-west infrastructure divide, which has narrowed but still shows in some areas.

East Austin is for buyers who want to live in Austin's cultural energy rather than commute to it. It fits people who eat out frequently, bike to work, and value diversity of experience. It works for investors who see ADU potential in the generous lots. If you need a large lot, a quiet cul-de-sac, or a top suburban school, look elsewhere. But if you want to walk out your front door and feel the pulse of what makes Austin different from every other Texas city, there is no better address.
