503 E 46th St, Austin, TX 78751

A refined, design-forward residence in the heart of Hyde Park, this home is the result of a true collaboration between architect Nick Mehl of Element 5 Architecture, builder Zack Savage, and interior designer Lisa White of Lisa White Home. Recognized as a Houzz Award-winning project, the home blends thoughtful architecture, high-end materials, and modern livability in one of Central Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Natural light fills the interiors through expansive Andersen Windows, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency while maintaining clean architectural lines throughout. The open living, dining, and kitchen spaces are intentionally scaled—modern and airy without feeling oversized.

The kitchen and living areas are anchored by custom black walnut countertops crafted by DeVos Custom Woodworking and complemented by premium Heath Ceramics tile backsplash selections that add warmth and texture to the modern palette. Green building principles were incorporated throughout the design and construction process, contributing to the home’s efficiency and long-term performance.

Recent improvements include a newly installed 2026 24-gauge R-panel metal roof system upgraded from 26-gauge for enhanced durability and hail resistance, along with premium synthetic underlayment engineered specifically for metal roofing systems to provide superior water protection.

The screened-in porch extends the living experience outdoors, creating a flexible year-round space with seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Located minutes from the University of Texas, The Triangle, and acclaimed dining destinations including Intero, Este, and Foreign & Domestic, this is a rare opportunity to own a fully realized architectural home in the heart of Hyde Park.

This 1950 Austin home at 503 E 46th St has been completely reimagined by architect Nick Mehl of Element 5 Architecture, builder Zack Savage, and interior designer Lisa White, earning recognition as a Houzz Award-winning project. The result is a design-forward residence that feels both historically rooted and thoroughly modern.

The home's bones tell a story. Cathedral ceilings and recessed lighting draw your eye upward, while wide Andersen windows flood the 1,777 square feet with natural light that changes throughout the day. Custom black walnut countertops by DeVos Custom Woodworking anchor the kitchen, paired with Heath Ceramics tile in selections that warm the space without sacrificing clean lines. This is thoughtful material selection, not trendy choices.

The interior flows as one continuous space. The living, dining, and kitchen areas connect with intentional scale - modern and open without feeling cavernous. A Murphy bed provides flexibility for guests or creative use of space. The primary bedroom sits on the main floor, with a walk-in closet and full bath. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath accommodate a small family or serve as office and guest space. Built-in bookcases frame windows and doorways, giving the home a lived-in intelligence.

A screened porch extends the property's usable space year-round, trading the Hyde Park heat and humidity for filtered air and trees. The lot itself is modest at 0.144 acres with small mature trees, typical of this neighborhood's walkable scale.

The property's efficiency shows in its bones. A tankless water heater, upgraded 2026 24-gauge metal roof system with premium synthetic underlayment, and green building principles throughout mean lower operating costs and durability. At 1,777 square feet priced at $1.19 million, this calculates to $667 per square foot.

503 E 46th St sits in the Austin neighborhood of Austin ISD, with Lee Elementary, Kealing Middle, and McCallum High serving the area. The location delivers proximity to the University of Texas campus, The Triangle's retail and dining, and restaurants like Intero, Este, and Foreign & Domestic. Downtown Austin is minutes away, and major tech employers including Dell, Apple, Tesla, Domain, and Oracle are all reachable with short commutes.

This is a fully realized architectural home where every detail serves function and beauty. It's the kind of space people stay in for decades.
