506 Atlanta St, Austin, TX 78703

You will love the feel and energy of this special pocket of homes in the neighborhood known as “Deep Eddy” due to being walking distance to the oldest natural spring swimming pool in Texas (1915). Experience urban living with its close proximity to downtown Austin, yet be steps away to the year round outdoor playground that includes Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the scenic paths of the Hike & Bike Trails of downtown Austin. Walking distance to annual events such as ACL, Trail of Lights and the Kite Festival and many trendy restaurants add to this home's enjoyment. Built in 2007 as a custom builder’s personal home, fresh ideas were blended into a “newer” home in one of the older established neighborhoods which boasts huge oaks and privacy. Many well planned and ingenious materials such as Old Chicago Brick accents in combination with stained concrete floors, upscale Tadelakt plaster backsplash, hand scraped oak floors, 8’ solid wood doors, and walls of windows create warmth and an intimate ambience. In an area where many of the prices have sailed well over the multi-million dollar range, here is a chance to acquire a close-in home at an entry price point that feeds into the highly sought after Casis Elementary School. With an attached 2 car garage, gated entrance for security, and an idyllic landscaped backyard, this home exceeds any other downtown Austin living options. Buyer and Buyer's agent to verify all information including the property's square footage which is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Tarrytown is a historic Central Austin neighborhood in 78703, five minutes from downtown and bordered by Lake Austin to the west. Median home price $1.95M. Austin ISD schools - Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, Austin High - and walkability to Deep Eddy Pool, Lady Bird Lake, and Mayfield Park.

The housing stock spans nine decades. Original 1930s-60s colonials, Tudors, and ranch homes sit alongside new construction and gut renovations on lots ranging from 0.15 to 0.3 acres. Lakefront properties on Scenic Drive and streets near Lake Austin command $4M-$15M+. The neighborhood's character has been protected by an engaged neighborhood association and the McMansion Ordinance, which limits building scale.

Daily life here runs on the water and the schools. Morning laps at Deep Eddy Pool (68-degree spring-fed water year-round), school drop-off at Casis, coffee at Tarrytown Pharmacy or Summer Moon, dinner at Jeffrey's or Josephine House without leaving the neighborhood. The Contemporary at Laguna Gloria and Lions Municipal Golf Course are a walk or short bike ride away.

What makes Tarrytown distinct from other luxury Austin neighborhoods: genuine walkability, a 90-year-old neighborhood identity, and Central Austin access that Westlake and Barton Creek cannot match. The tradeoff is Austin ISD instead of Eanes, and smaller lots than you'd find west of MoPac.
