8001 Forest Mesa Dr Unit #B, Austin, TX 78759

Northwest Hills doesn't need an introduction — and neither does this home. 8001B Forest Mesa is the rare listing where every system, every surface, and every detail has been addressed by an owner who refused to cut corners. This is not a flip. This is the real thing. The kitchen was taken to the studs and rebuilt from scratch: ceiling raised to 8 feet, 42-inch solid plywood box cabinets in slim shaker walnut with soft-close doors, honed granite countertops, wine refrigerator, and an all-new appliance package. Sleek, functional, and built to last. Both bathrooms received the same uncompromising treatment — fully renovated down to the plumbing, tile, electrical, and fixtures (primary 2025, guest 2026). The primary bath is a genuine spa moment: fluted double vanity, brushed gold hardware, dual arched mirrors, and designer sconce lighting. The rest of the list reads like a home inspector's dream: new lifetime-warranty windows, new solid shaker interior doors and trim, full interior repaint, Nest smart thermostat, MyQ smart garage door, tile-floored 2-car garage, washer/dryer convey. AC condenser replaced 2024. Gutters 2025. Deck restained 2025. HOA replaced the roof in 2024, completed a full exterior repaint in 2024, and is installing a new fence in 2026. HVAC on a twice-annual service schedule. Step outside to two private outdoor living spaces — a deck canopied by heritage oaks and a granite fire pit lounge area tucked behind full privacy fencing. French doors connect the living room to the tree-shaded deck seamlessly. Minutes to MoPac, 360, the Domain, and Bull Creek. $489,000. Turnkey. Northwest Hills. Nothing left to do but fall in love with it. Subject to underwriting approval and program guidelines. Contact lender for complete details and qualification requirements.

Westover Hills sits in the 78759 zip in Northwest Austin, built mostly between 1972 and 1985 on the rolling terrain north of Far West Boulevard. Houses are 2,400-4,500 sqft on quarter-acre to half-acre lots with mature live oaks and the kind of long driveways that came with 1970s suburban planning. Most homes have been updated at least once - kitchens and baths from the 2010s, HVAC and roofs newer.

What makes Westover Hills different from other Northwest Austin neighborhoods is the Westover Hills Club - a private swim and tennis club exclusive to residents. The pool, tennis courts, and family events run year-round. Membership is included with most home purchases in the deed-restricted area, so you don't have to wait for a slot.

Pricing runs $850K for original-condition homes up to $1.8M for renovated and expanded properties. The neighborhood holds value because the lots are bigger than most of Northwest Austin and the school zoning is strong: Hill Elementary, Murchison Middle, and Anderson High School - which runs the International Baccalaureate program that draws families from across the district.

Location works well if you commute to Northwest Austin tech employers: 5 minutes to The Domain, 8 minutes to Apple's North Austin campus, 10 minutes to the Arboretum, and 15 minutes to downtown via MoPac. Great Hills Park and the Bull Creek greenbelt sit at the western edge with hiking trails that connect to the larger Bull Creek system.

Restaurants and shopping cluster on Anderson Lane, Far West Boulevard, and at the Arboretum: Eddie V's, Z'Tejas, Truluck's, Maudie's Tex-Mex, and the Whole Foods at Gateway. The Arboretum walking path makes outdoor dining and weekend errands easy.

Best for buyers who want larger lots than most of Northwest Austin, IB-program school zoning, the private Westover Hills Club, and quick access to both the Domain and downtown.
