5932 Highland Hills Dr, Austin, TX 78731

A fresh opportunity in Northwest Hills, this modern three-story home is tucked into the trees above Highland Hills and offers privacy, architectural character, and a flexible blueprint for its next chapter. With clean lines, mature trees, multiple decks, and west-facing sunset views, the home has the kind of setting and structure that is hard to recreate in Central Austin.

Inside, maple floors, natural light, treetop views, and open living spaces create a warm foundation for everyday living, entertaining, and future updates. The main level features generous gathering areas and an entertainer’s kitchen, with decks that extend the living space outdoors and capture beautiful evening light.

The top-floor primary suite feels private and elevated, with peaceful views and a spacious deck overlooking the trees. Three additional bedrooms are located on the lower level, offering flexibility for family, guests, work-from-home needs, creative space, or a more private multi-generational layout.

Major improvements are already in place, including new HVACs and a 2025 roof, giving buyers a strong starting point for cosmetic updates or a more personalized renovation over time. Multiple living areas, generous storage, a detached two-car garage, and ample parking add practical value to the home’s modern design.

Zoned to sought-after Highland Park Elementary and centrally located near downtown Austin, Loop 360, Central Market, H-E-B, the Dell JCC, local shops, restaurants, parks, and trails, this Northwest Hills home is ready for new vision, fresh energy, and its next lucky owner.

This 1967 Highland Hills home at 5932 Highland Hills Dr in Austin's 78731 zip code has been completely reimagined for modern living while keeping the bones that make mid-century architecture special. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and 2,551 square feet spread across three stories create distinct zones for work, rest, and gathering, priced at $1.25M or $490 per square foot.

The home's real character lives in its unexpected spaces. A corner lot anchors the property on a quieter Highland Hills street, surrounded by native landscaping and mature trees that exceed 40 feet in height. An uncovered courtyard invites light into unexpected places. Multiple covered porches and decks wrap the exterior, each with its own personality. Inside, the kitchen island becomes a natural hub, with quartz counters, built-in electric range and cooktop, and sight lines into open living areas. Bookcases line walls where books actually live. Recessed lighting softens without overwhelming. A breakfast bar catches morning sun.

The textures here matter. Maple wood flooring anchors living spaces. Tile flows through practical zones. HardiPlank siding and partial masonry create visual rhythm on the exterior. Stucco details reference the home's era without feeling dated. High-speed internet and a smart thermostat slip in unobtrusively alongside the character pieces.

The vibe is lived-in comfort with intention. This is not a showroom home. It's built for someone who works from home and appreciates a dedicated third bedroom as an office with privacy. It's built for cooking and lingering at the kitchen island. It's built for watching treetop views from a primary suite on the top floor, where a generous deck becomes the kind of outdoor room that extends the living space into green canopy. The three secondary bedrooms downstairs offer flexibility most Austin homes lack.

Location anchors the lifestyle. Highland Park Elementary feeds this Austin ISD property. Lamar Middle School and McCallum High School are the secondary pipeline. The Highland Hills neighborhood places you minutes from downtown Austin via Loop 360, Central Market and HEB for daily shopping, and Dell JCC for community activities. The neighborhood itself is established, quiet, and full of the same large trees that define the property.

After 18 days on market, this home rewards buyers who recognize what mid-century bones look like when respected, not erased.
