A blend of contemporary elegance and inviting warmth, this exceptional residence was featured on the cover of LUXE Interiors + Design and received a 12-page editorial in 2021. The open-concept great room is the heart of the home, seamlessly connecting living, kitchen, and dining areas. Custom caned-door cabinets flank the fireplace, while a cozy window seat nestles beneath the stairs. A main-level study with built-ins offers an ideal space for work or quiet focus. The main-level primary suite provides convenience and privacy, while the upper level features three additional bedrooms—each with its own full bath—and a secondary living area ideal for media or playroom. One bedroom includes a custom Murphy bed, easily converting the space from a gym to a guest suite. Designed with a sophisticated yet welcoming palette, the home showcases rich textures, statement wallpaper in key rooms, and striking lighting, including a dramatic pendant by Australian designer Christopher Boots. Custom draperies and window treatments complete the look. The backyard is built for entertaining with an outdoor kitchen, a heated 9-ft-deep pool with diving board by Modern Pools, and a putting green. A Control4 system with integrated sound and cameras, plus a fire sprinkler system, add modern convenience and safety. The 3-car garage and meticulous design throughout make this home truly one-of-a-kind. Located in the acclaimed Eanes ISD, this home is walkable to Rollingwood Park and Trader Joe’s, and just minutes from Zilker Park and downtown Austin, offering the perfect balance of tranquility and city life.

At $1003 per square foot, 4901 Southcrest Dr brings a rare mix of editorial-level design, a 0.472-acre corner lot, and a 2018 build in Rollingwood, one of the most tightly held pockets of Austin 78746. This Residential - Single Family Residence offers 4,486 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 1 half bath, giving it the scale buyers expect at the $4.50M level without pushing into oversized-for-the-area territory.

What stands out first is how the house balances polished design with daily function. The main living areas are open and connected, which matters for how people actually live and entertain in Austin. The primary suite is on the main level, along with a dedicated study, while the upper floor adds three secondary bedrooms, each with its own full bath, plus a second living area that can work as media space, game room, or flexible family zone. One upstairs room includes a Murphy bed, which gives the layout more range for guests, fitness, or hybrid work.

The finish level is a real differentiator. This home was featured on the cover of LUXE Interiors + Design and received a 12-page editorial in 2021, which is unusual even in the Westlake and central Austin luxury market. The design details read as intentional rather than trendy, with custom cabinetry, built-ins, layered wall treatments, statement lighting, and tailored window coverings. The result is a house that feels finished, not staged.

Outside, the lot supports the lifestyle buyers want in this part of Austin. The backyard includes an outdoor kitchen, a heated pool with a 9-foot depth and diving board, and a putting green. A Control4 system with integrated sound and cameras adds practical value, and the 3-car garage plus fire sprinkler system round out the utility side of the home.

Location is a major part of the story at 4901 Southcrest Dr. Rollingwood Park, Trader Joe's, Zilker Park, and downtown Austin are all part of the daily orbit here, which gives the property real convenience, not just a good map pin. School information is not listed in the source data, so buyers should verify district and campus assignment directly. With 272 days on market, there is time for thoughtful evaluation, but the combination of lot size, design pedigree, and close-in Austin access gives this address long-term lifestyle appeal and durable value.

Rollingwood is an independent city of 1,500 people in 0.7 square miles of 78746, between Zilker Park and Barton Creek. Eanes ISD schools, 10-minute commute to downtown, and the shortest path into the #1-ranked school district in Texas. Median home price around $2.7M.

The neighborhood is in a generational transition. Original 1950s-60s ranch homes on flat lots (0.2-0.5 acres) sell as teardowns at $800K-$1.5M, replaced by contemporary builds in the $2M-$4M range. New construction and original homes sit side by side on narrow streets. At any given time, expect 5-10 active listings across the entire city.

Zilker Park is essentially the front yard - 351 acres of playgrounds, the Botanical Garden, Barton Springs Pool, and the Zilker Eagle train. The Barton Creek Greenbelt runs along the southern edge with Spyglass and Gus Fruh trailheads a 3-minute drive from most homes. South Lamar corridor restaurants - Uchi, Odd Duck, Matt's El Rancho - are five minutes east.

What separates Rollingwood from the rest of Westlake: the scale. You know the mayor, you see the same families at the park, and the Fourth of July parade runs down Rollingwood Drive. It has the feel of a small Texas town that happens to sit between Zilker Park and Barton Creek, inside Eanes ISD.
