Vintage cool 1963 architecture meets livable modern life at this home in coveted Northwest Hills. Thoughtfully renovated in 2016, this mid-century modern stunner on .39 acres is everything you love about the era: clean lines, expansive windows, open concept flow, and an intimate feeling of home. The living and entertaining spaces face inward, away from the street, giving the whole property a cozying sense of privacy and seclusion. Walls of oversized glass and sliders dissolve the line between indoors and out, flooding the open-concept layout with natural light and effortless, unfussy cool. The backyard is a full resort situation, featuring a pool with hot tub and a rare lap lane, bocce ball court, outdoor shower, covered patio, and towering shade trees that create the ideal space to enjoy golden hour. The open kitchen is the social hub of the house, equipped with high-end appliances, a breakfast bar, extensive counter space and storage, and a commanding view into the living areas and backyard. The primary suite is a genuine retreat: in-room coffee bar, incredible custom closet, a spa bath with walk-in shower and soaking tub, and its own sliders straight to the pool. Two guest bedrooms are tucked in nicely (one also with backyard sliders), plus a flexible fourth bedroom separated from the rest of the house that moonlights beautifully as a home office, art studio, exercise room, or guest bedroom with pool views. There's also a bonus flex space off the dining room just begging to be a library, a kids' hangout, or a dedicated vinyl listening room. Highlights include the architectural built-ins that create space and allow for ample storage throughout the home and the in-home sound system is already wired and ready. Two-car garage. Zero interior steps. Practical stuff that matters: plumbing, electrical, and ductwork all updated in 2016. Roof partially replaced in 2017. New pool equipment in 2021. Fence repaired and landscaping in 2026. Interior and exterior paint in 2026.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
Northwest Hills is a family neighborhood in 78731, built in the 1960s-80s on wooded half-acre lots between MoPac and Loop 360. Median home price $1.19M. Austin ISD schools — Doss Elementary and Murchison Middle rank among the district's best. 12 minutes to UT campus, 15 to downtown. The housing stock is predominantly single-story ranch and split-level homes on lots averaging 0.3-0.5 acres with mature live oak and cedar canopy. Most original homes are 1,800-3,000 sq ft. A renovation wave has been updating kitchens and adding square footage without tearing down — the lot sizes accommodate additions well. Active listings typically number 15-25 at any given time. Daily life revolves around the schools and the outdoors. Bull Creek for weekend wading, Mount Bonnell for sunset hikes (8 minutes from the neighborhood), Northwest District Park for soccer and the playground. Far West corridor handles weeknight dining — Saffron, 5280 Burger, Yamas. The Arboretum and Domain are 10 minutes north for shopping. HEB on Far West is the neighborhood grocery hub. What makes Northwest Hills the family value play in Central Austin: Doss/Murchison school quality at roughly half the Eanes ISD price point, lot sizes that rival Westlake, and a 15-minute commute that beats the suburbs. The tradeoff is Austin ISD (good but not Eanes) and 1960s-80s housing stock that often needs updating.
