3923 Glengarry Dr, Austin, TX 78731

As featured in Tribeza and located in one of Austin’s most loved neighborhoods, 3923 Glengarry is the ideal home. Thoughtfully updated in 2014 for both functionality and aesthetics, the renovation included updated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, a whole-house surge protector, and oversized Fleetwood doors and windows that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the custom finishes to the refined layout that brings light and warmth into every room. A whole house generator was added in 2021 and the roof was updated in 2024. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. It features a custom oversized island, abundant storage and cabinetry, and high-end finishes that marry form and function. This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home features two full bathrooms, one Jack and Jill bath, and a powder room, all finished with natural Leuders stone for a clean, organic aesthetic. The primary suite offers serene Hill Country views, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom complete with a soaking tub and zero-edge shower, creating a true retreat. The entire home was designed for aging in place. Two guest rooms share the Jack and Jill bathroom, creating a private and functional wing for family or visitors. A separate guest suite, located off the kitchen, includes a bonus room ideal for reading, play, or simply enjoying the surrounding views. The living room showcases a striking custom steel display designed to elegantly highlight art or books while serving as a sculptural focal point within the open floor plan. Set on a .33-acre lot, the property offers exceptional outdoor living potential. A spacious backyard deck with a grill supplied by a natural gas outlet, overlooks a serene landscape with ample space for a future pool, while the front yard pond adds a tranquil, welcoming touch.

Northwest Hills is a family neighborhood in 78731, built in the 1960s-80s on wooded half-acre lots between MoPac and Loop 360. Median home price $1.19M. Austin ISD schools — Doss Elementary and Murchison Middle rank among the district's best. 12 minutes to UT campus, 15 to downtown.

The housing stock is predominantly single-story ranch and split-level homes on lots averaging 0.3-0.5 acres with mature live oak and cedar canopy. Most original homes are 1,800-3,000 sq ft. A renovation wave has been updating kitchens and adding square footage without tearing down — the lot sizes accommodate additions well. Active listings typically number 15-25 at any given time.

Daily life revolves around the schools and the outdoors. Bull Creek for weekend wading, Mount Bonnell for sunset hikes (8 minutes from the neighborhood), Northwest District Park for soccer and the playground. Far West corridor handles weeknight dining — Saffron, 5280 Burger, Yamas. The Arboretum and Domain are 10 minutes north for shopping. HEB on Far West is the neighborhood grocery hub.

What makes Northwest Hills the family value play in Central Austin: Doss/Murchison school quality at roughly half the Eanes ISD price point, lot sizes that rival Westlake, and a 15-minute commute that beats the suburbs. The tradeoff is Austin ISD (good but not Eanes) and 1960s-80s housing stock that often needs updating.
