3607 Brownwood Dr, Austin, TX 78759

Welcome to 3607 Brownwood, a bold, fully reimagined mid-century modern home in the heart of Balcones West, one of Austin's most tightly held communities. Originally featured in the '68 Parade of Homes, this custom residence showcases the era's signature architectural creativity through its dynamic split-level design: a sunken living area, sunken kitchen, and elevated great room create distinct yet flowing spaces, all connected by just a few steps and living effortlessly. Set beneath towering oaks on a large corner lot along a quiet no-through-traffic street, this 2,538 sqft home delivers privacy, presence, and unmistakable style. The $70K+ renovation was extensive and intentional including a recent roof, minor foundation repairs, a new water heater, and new decking. Lighting, fans, hardware, and more have been updated throughout, along with fresh paint brings a clean modern edge. LVP flooring anchors the living areas while plush new carpet enhances the bedrooms and great room. Vaulted and beamed ceilings flood the home with natural light. The kitchen makes a statement with new quartz counters and a sleek tile backsplash designed for easy living. Just off the kitchen, a spacious side porch offers the ideal setup for grilling and outdoor dining al fresco. A cozy gas fireplace grounds the main living space, blending warmth with modern design. Upstairs, the great room is a standout retreat, often described as a treehouse, surrounded by leafy views and offering loads of built-ins for storage and a deck. The private backyard features a hot tub tucked beneath the trees. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the layout is flexible, functional, and comfortable. Spacious lots create a rare sense of space, and the neighborhood is known for exceptional neighbors across generations. Zoned to Hill, Murchison, and Anderson High. Quick access to highways connect you to The Domain, DT, Lake Austin, Mount Bonnell, and more. Balcones West is timeless, architectural, and rarely available.

Westover Hills sits in the 78759 zip in Northwest Austin, built mostly between 1972 and 1985 on the rolling terrain north of Far West Boulevard. Houses are 2,400-4,500 sqft on quarter-acre to half-acre lots with mature live oaks and the kind of long driveways that came with 1970s suburban planning. Most homes have been updated at least once - kitchens and baths from the 2010s, HVAC and roofs newer.

What makes Westover Hills different from other Northwest Austin neighborhoods is the Westover Hills Club - a private swim and tennis club exclusive to residents. The pool, tennis courts, and family events run year-round. Membership is included with most home purchases in the deed-restricted area, so you don't have to wait for a slot.

Pricing runs $850K for original-condition homes up to $1.8M for renovated and expanded properties. The neighborhood holds value because the lots are bigger than most of Northwest Austin and the school zoning is strong: Hill Elementary, Murchison Middle, and Anderson High School - which runs the International Baccalaureate program that draws families from across the district.

Location works well if you commute to Northwest Austin tech employers: 5 minutes to The Domain, 8 minutes to Apple's North Austin campus, 10 minutes to the Arboretum, and 15 minutes to downtown via MoPac. Great Hills Park and the Bull Creek greenbelt sit at the western edge with hiking trails that connect to the larger Bull Creek system.

Restaurants and shopping cluster on Anderson Lane, Far West Boulevard, and at the Arboretum: Eddie V's, Z'Tejas, Truluck's, Maudie's Tex-Mex, and the Whole Foods at Gateway. The Arboretum walking path makes outdoor dining and weekend errands easy.

Best for buyers who want larger lots than most of Northwest Austin, IB-program school zoning, the private Westover Hills Club, and quick access to both the Domain and downtown.
