Thoughtfully updated inside and out, this Northwest Austin home blends timeless character with today's style and functionality. Seller improvements include partial roof replacement, updated landscaping and stonework, new fencing and gates, enhanced exterior lighting, a new cedar front patio beam and column, refreshed patio tile, reinforced retaining railroad ties, and updated front door hardware all in addition to over $40,000 in new siding.
The interior has been refreshed throughout with luxury vinyl flooring, fresh paint, updated doors, recessed lighting with dimmers, new switches and outlet covers, and numerous designer touches. The foyer welcomes you with custom wainscoting, while the living room features built-in bookcases, decorative wall detailing, a resurfaced fireplace with updated tile and mantel, and new flooring. The dining room offers cedar accent walls, updated lighting, and new flooring.
The remodeled kitchen showcases resurfaced countertops, painted cabinetry, tile backsplash, new sink, updated lighting, under-cabinet outlets, new hardware, and custom mudroom paneling. Seller also completed repairs that included replacement of damaged framing members, drywall, and other components in areas where wood rot had been identified.
Upstairs, the staircase has been updated with new flooring, tile risers, railings, and lighting. Secondary bedrooms feature updated flooring and finishes, while one bedroom was reconfigured with a new closet, built-in bookcases, and enclosed loft area. The primary suite includes updated flooring, refreshed finishes, and replacement of a plumbing pipe beneath the foundation.

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.
