3613 Pinnacle Rd, Austin, TX 78746

A gated, gravel drive leads back to a two-story masonry and plaster home set on .63 acres in Rolling Hills West. Beautifully landscaped and surrounded by mature trees reaching more than forty feet, the property feels remarkably private while sitting minutes from Bee Caves Road, Loop 360, and downtown. What makes the home especially unique is its connection to Austin history. The original owner spent years collecting architectural elements from 1800s Austin homes and buildings, thoughtfully incorporating original doors, windows, trim, stained glass, and other one-of-a-kind details throughout the home. Inside, the living and dining rooms open off the foyer, anchored by a stone fireplace and original hardwood floors. A salvaged staircase railing from an 1800s downtown Austin property leads to the second floor, continuing the story behind the home’s historic details. The kitchen, fully remodeled by a previous owner, sits at the center of the main level with a center island, breakfast bar, gas cooktop, double ovens, and high ceilings. A bedroom and full bath on the main floor offer flexibility for guests or a study, while three additional bedrooms are upstairs. The primary suite includes a bath overlooking the pool. French doors open to the pool and spa, surrounded by established landscaping and mature trees. The original carport was reimagined as a covered pool cabana, complete with a second stone fireplace and full outdoor kitchen, creating a natural extension of the home for entertaining. A workshop and bonus room provide additional flexibility for an office, studio, or creative space. A significant septic-to-sewer conversion was completed along with extensive landscape improvements to the property. Located within Eanes ISD and within walking distance of all three schools, this is an incredibly unique opportunity to own a home filled with pieces of Austin history on more than half an acre in the heart of Westlake.

Westlake Hills is an incorporated city in Austin's 78746 ZIP code, five minutes west of downtown via Bee Caves Road. Eanes ISD - ranked #1 in Texas by Niche 2026 - draws most buyers. Median home price $2.4M, with estates from $1.2M updates to $10M+ hilltop compounds.

Roughly 1,000 total homes sit on wooded lots averaging half an acre to two acres, spread across the hills south of the Colorado River. Lost Creek, Davenport Ranch, The Oaks, and Bee Caves Woods each have a different character - from 1970s ranches on established lots to new-build Hill Country Contemporary estates with 20-foot ceilings and limestone facades.

The housing stock is in a generational transition. Original 1970s-80s ranch homes sell as teardowns at $1-2M for land alone, replaced by $3-8M contemporary builds. At any given time, 25-30 homes are actively listed. Inventory is tight, and a meaningful share of deals happen off-market through agent networks.

What defines daily life here: morning coffee at Swedish Hill, school drop-off at Eanes Elementary or Bridge Point, a trail run at Wild Basin Preserve, and dinner at Sway or Las Palomas without crossing MoPac. This is a quiet neighborhood built around schools and outdoor access, not nightlife or walkable retail. The people who live here chose it for exactly that trade-off.
