3612 Bonnie Rd, Austin, TX 78703

First time on the market in 20 years - this house combines classic Tarrytown charm in the most coveted location in Austin. The house sits on a corner lot shaded by 5 heritage oak trees and located one block from Lake Austin. It is situated next to local hotspots like Mozart’s coffee, Hula Hut, and Lion's golf course and a short drive to the new HEB. It is one block from Walsh landing, one of only two public boat ramps for Lake Austin boat access. It was thoughtfully renovated in 2011 to preserve the vintage charm while adding all the modern conveniences to a versatile floorplan. All the living area is on one floor with a full guest apartment downstairs with its own entrance (but also accessible via interior stairs). Downstairs apartment can be used for guests, in-laws, or rented. This is the perfect centrally located Tarrytown home – huge front porch overlooks a beautiful fenced yard shaded by heritage oaks with a rope swing, zip line alongside house, and playscape in the back. Small bedroom directly connected to the master suite can be used as a nursery or as an office. This house is a rare opportunity as it combines a variety of hard-to-find features: ideal location by lake, large corner lot, large fenced yard, lots of living space (6 bed/4 bath), apartment with separate entrance, boat parking, gated covered parking for 5 cars, oversized garage and storage room & wood fireplace. No better way to enjoy Austin.

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.
