Built in 2002, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 1 half-bath single-family residence was designed for people who want daily function without giving up architectural character. The layout gives the main level real flexibility, with a private primary suite plus an additional full bedroom and bath that can work well for guests, live-in family, or a serious home office. Upstairs adds two more bedrooms, another full bath, and a large bonus room that can handle media, workouts, or play space without forcing compromises elsewhere in the house. A fireplace, 2-car garage, built-ins, and strong storage add the practical pieces that matter over time.

The lot is a major part of the story. Just over one-third of an acre is meaningful land in this part of Austin, and here it supports a two-tiered backyard, green space, and a pool that gives the home a true indoor-outdoor rhythm. Rooms are oriented to the yard, so the setting is not an afterthought. It shapes how the house lives day to day. For buyers comparing options in 78731, that combination of usable square footage, outdoor privacy, and a relatively newer build year is hard to ignore.

For Austin ISD buyers, the school pattern is a real draw: Highland Park, Lamar (Austin ISD), and McCallum. Those are recognized names that come up often with families targeting Central Austin because they keep you connected to established neighborhoods rather than pushing farther west or north for similar square footage. The address also gives you solid access to MoPac and RM 2222, which helps with daily movement around the city. Mount Bonnell, Bright Leaf Preserve, and Perry Park are all part of the broader area lifestyle, and you are not far from The Grove, Seton Medical Center Austin, and the core retail and dining corridors that make 78731 practical as well as desirable.

At $2.15 million with only 4 days on market, this is the kind of property that answers a common Austin luxury question clearly: how do you get land, a pool, strong schools, and a Central Austin address in one package. 5008 Westview Dr does that, and it does it in a location with long-term appeal for both daily living and future value.
