4715 Ruiz St, Austin, TX 78723

Overlooking Branch Park in the heart of Mueller, this beautifully curated home has it all. Renovated with custom built-ins and designer-selected details throughout, the home seamlessly blends bold architectural moments with highly functional, livable design - creating spaces that feel both sophisticated and joyful.

Spanning approximately 3,645 square feet, the main level is anchored by a dramatic two-story living room, where a striking wall of windows frames park views and fills the home with natural light. Fresh interior paint, rich hardwood floors, and modern finishes provide a cohesive, artful backdrop throughout. The open-concept kitchen is equally impressive, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a wine fridge, custom built-in work station and clean-lined design that feels effortlessly polished.

The home offers two primary suites, including a serene first-floor retreat with a spacious bedroom and spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a custom California Closet. Upstairs, an additional primary suite includes an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while two generously sized secondary bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, home offices, or creative studios.

The third floor opens to an expansive second living area complete with a full wet bar and half bath, perfect for entertaining. Step onto the private balcony terrace to enjoy sunset views over the park, or retreat to the private courtyard below with a built-in grill for intimate alfresco evenings.

Living here means embracing the best of Mueller. With two pools, miles of hike-and-bike trails, playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, a vibrant community garden, and a weekly farmers market just steps from your door, this home offers a rare combination of inspired design, community connection, and effortless city living.

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.
