3514 Bridle Path, Austin, TX 78703

Exceptional mid-century modern home located in the heart of Tarrytown. Known as the Bridle Path House, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence includes a dedicated office/media room and showcases classic architectural details throughout, including expansive wood-framed picture windows, striking masonry, and open living spaces.

The spacious living and dining areas flow into a beautifully updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, contemporary cabinetry, sleek countertops, and clean modern lines—ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite offers a private retreat with access to a covered patio and a spa-like ensuite bath with marble and mosaic finishes, an oversized soaking tub, and abundant natural light.

Multiple outdoor living areas shaded by mature trees provide inviting spaces to relax or gather. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street just minutes from lake access, Mozart’s Coffee, downtown Austin, hike-and-bike trails, parks, top-rated schools, and neighborhood dining. A rare opportunity to own a timeless architectural home in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

At $762 per square foot in one of central west Austin’s most established residential pockets, 3514 Bridle Path stands out as a $2.00M opportunity with architectural character that is getting harder to find in 78703. Set in Tarrytown, 3514 Bridle Path is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath single family residence with 2,624 square feet on a 0.145-acre lot, built in 1976 and brought to market after just 3 days.

This is the kind of address buyers ask about when they want close-in Austin without giving up a neighborhood feel. Bridle Path is a quiet street with mature trees and quick access to Lake Austin Boulevard, Exposition Boulevard, and downtown. Mozart’s Coffee Roasters, the Hike-and-Bike Trail, and lake access are all nearby, which changes the rhythm of daily life in a meaningful way. You can move from a morning walk to a coffee meeting to downtown dinner without spending your day in traffic.

Inside, the house reads as true mid-century modern rather than a surface-level update. Large wood-framed picture windows pull in natural light. Strong masonry details ground the living spaces. The layout opens easily between the main living area, dining area, and kitchen, which makes the 2,624 square feet feel practical and connected. A fireplace anchors the living room and adds a sense of permanence that fits the architecture. The kitchen has been updated with clean lines and a sharper, more current finish, so the house keeps its original identity without feeling dated.

The bedroom count is efficient for this part of Austin, and the extra flex space works well as an office or media room, which matters for buyers who need more than a standard three-bedroom plan. The primary suite opens to a covered patio, and the outdoor areas create usable shade and privacy across a manageable lot size. That balance matters in 78703, where buyers often want outdoor living without taking on oversized maintenance.

From a school standpoint, this address feeds to Austin ISD, with Casis Elementary, O Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. That combination remains one of the strongest location signals in this section of the market. For buyers focused on long-term value, 3514 Bridle Path offers more than design appeal. It offers a durable west Austin location, proven school draw, and the kind of everyday access that tends to hold demand over time.

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.
