3406 Hillview Rd, Austin, TX 78703

Attention gardeners! Here is a charming 4-bedroom, 3-bath home on an exceptionally pretty lot in Tarrytown. Originally built in 1951 and expanded over the years, this single-story home has pretty oak hardwood floors, a fireplace and large windows that create a bright and welcoming home. There are many quality upgrades including a standing-seam metal roof, gutters, dimmable fixtures and more. Move in as is, or make updates where you want them first. You’ll love the beautiful garden which includes a terraced deck beneath a magnificent oak tree. The fabulous location - one block from W 35th St - provides easy access to Mopac as well as the Tarrytown and Kerbey Lane shopping areas. The great, friendly neighborhood community is a big plus too. This is a special treat of a property.

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.
