Unique opportunity to own a modern and luxurious Mueller home designed by Austin’s iconic Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, built by The Muskin Company and featured in Dwell Magazine. The cedar-clad entry and brightly-colored encaustic concrete tiles play off the crisp stucco and steel accents. Inside is abundant with natural light and features a custom bookcase, wood accent entryway, glass backsplash, Caeserstone counters with oversized center island, polished concrete and wood flooring, KitchenAid and Wolfe appliances. The living room opens into a private courtyard featuring a cedar shake clad wall and modern Lueders limestone pavers. The custom bookcase extends upstairs where all the bedrooms are located. The owner’s suite features a steel Juliet balcony, a white oak dual vanity and a frameless glass shower surround. This Austin Energy 5-star rated, energy-efficient home has spray foam insulation, a tankless water heater, LED lighting, and is topped with a standing seam metal roof. Quick access to all the amenities Mueller has to offer: hike & bike trails right out your front door, weekly farmer’s market, restaurants, coffee shops, Thinkery, community pools, Morris Williams Golf Course and more! Furniture is negotiable.

Mueller is what happens when a city tears down its old airport and rebuilds the neighborhood from scratch with everything it learned. 700 acres of mixed-use design, 140+ acres of parks and green space, and one of the largest LEED-certified communities in Texas. The street grid is walkable, the houses face each other instead of garages, and the Lake Park splash pad is the unofficial summer gathering point.

Housing runs from 1,200 sqft row homes around $550K to 4,000+ sqft single-family homes near $1.4M. Yard homes, garden homes, condos, and townhomes are mixed on the same block by design. Most builds went up between 2007 and 2022, so HVAC, roofs, and energy systems are modern. Expect $380-$450/sqft on resales depending on type and location within the neighborhood.

The 78723 zip is what surprises buyers most. Mueller sits 10 minutes from downtown via Manor Road, 7 minutes from Dell Children's Medical Center, and 15 minutes from the airport. The Thursday Farmers' Market at Mueller Lake Park runs year-round. Aldrich Street has the H-E-B, restaurants, and the Alamo Drafthouse anchor. Branch Park hosts free outdoor movies in summer.

Schools serve Austin ISD: Maplewood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High - which has Austin's longest-running Fine Arts Academy. Families also pull from Magellan International School and Austin Achieve Public Schools nearby.

What you get in Mueller that you can't replicate elsewhere in Austin: a master-planned neighborhood with a real urban density model, parks within a 5-minute walk of every door, and a mixed-income housing program that keeps the demographic diverse. What you give up: large lots. Most yards are intentionally small to keep density high and parks plentiful.

Best for buyers who want walkability, sustainable design, and a real neighborhood feel without leaving the urban core.
