3507 Garden Villa Ln, Austin, TX 78704

Extraordinary remodel in the heart of one of Austin’s most desirable zip codes, where thoughtful design meets everyday livability. Originally built in 1969 and extensively reimagined in 2015, this one-of-a-kind home blends timeless character with modern functionality.

Custom details are woven throughout—from plantation shutters and paneled walls and doors to curated designer lighting and stained concrete floors. A seamless mix of contemporary and rustic elements creates a warm, urban farmhouse aesthetic that feels both elevated and approachable.

The flexible floor plan includes a heated and cooled garage space, thoughtfully incorporated into the home’s total square footage—ideal for a studio, gym, office, or additional living area.

Out back, a private retreat awaits. Enjoy a sparkling pool, generous ~460 sq ft of deck space, and a garden setting designed for relaxing, entertaining, and soaking up Austin’s outdoor lifestyle.

A rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive home in a highly sought-after location.

This 1969 brick and HardiPlank home at 3507 Garden Villa Lane in Austin sits on 0.152 acres in the 78704 zip code, one of Austin's most established neighborhoods, and the 2015 remodel transformed it into something genuinely rare: a house with character that actually functions for how people live today. The open floor plan flows naturally, with a primary bedroom on the main level, multiple living areas, and a kitchen that anchors the home with quartz counters, a gas cooktop paired with a double oven, and an island that works for both cooking and gathering.

The details matter here. Recessed lighting runs throughout. Ceiling fans keep air moving. Concrete flooring grounds the space with an urban edge that complements the mix of plantation shutters, paneled walls, and custom doors. A breakfast bar opens the kitchen to the main living areas, and there's no wasted space with interior steps, so moving through the home feels intentional and easy. The heated and cooled garage expands the footprint to 1,834 square feet and can function as a studio, gym, office, or overflow living space depending on what the next owner needs.

The backyard is where this property shifts into something special. A private pool sits at the center of roughly 460 square feet of deck space, with mature trees between 20 and 40 feet creating a garden setting that feels removed from the street despite the walkable, close-in location. That outdoor room is built for both entertaining and quiet afternoons.

Austin puts you in the Austin ISD attendance zone for Galindo Elementary, Lively Middle, and Travis High School, with direct access to the established character neighborhoods south of Lady Bird Lake. The commute to downtown Austin or to the tech corridor on I-35 is straightforward. At $995,000 and $543 per square foot, this home delivers the combination many Austin buyers are actually looking for: genuine architectural personality, a functional layout that works now, and outdoor space designed for living rather than just existing in a yard. This is the kind of home where the bones matter as much as the finishes, and where 2015 improvements respected what made 1969 good to begin with.
