Located in the highly sought-after West Rim neighborhood, 4209 Dunning Lane offers classic Westlake living on a private, tree-filled 0.822-acre lot just minutes from Downtown Austin. Built by Don Reynolds, this 5,178-square-foot home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, multiple living and dining spaces, and an exceptional backyard retreat with a 52-foot heated pool and spa.

Generous room proportions and thoughtful updates create a comfortable, functional home for everyday living and entertaining. Interior features include quarter-sawn oak floors, crown molding, high ceilings, built-ins, and two wood-burning fireplaces. The main level offers a formal living room, a true family room off the kitchen, two dining areas, a dedicated study, a spacious mudroom, and the primary suite. The kitchen opens to the family room and includes stainless steel appliances, a breakfast area, and a walk-in pantry.

Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, all with walk-in closets. One bedroom features an ensuite bath, while the other two share a nearby bathroom with potential for a Jack-and-Jill configuration. A large shiplap-accented flex room provides space for a playroom, media room, gym, office, studio, or additional storage.

Outside, the fenced backyard backs to a peaceful creek and is surrounded by mature oak trees and mountain laurels. A wraparound front porch, spacious back porch, deck, pool, and spa offer multiple places to relax and entertain.

West Rim residents enjoy access to a private neighborhood park with Lake Austin access, boat slips, tennis and sport courts, a playground, swings, barbecue areas, and picnic tables. Zoned to acclaimed Eanes ISD, this is a rare opportunity in one of Westlake’s most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
