This 1969 brick-and-limestone home on Silver Ridge Drive in Westover Hills has been reimagined without losing the character that made it worth keeping. The bones are original, but the 2013-2014 renovation and ongoing maintenance through 2026 have transformed it into a modern family home with real soul.

The open-concept kitchen anchors the house now, with a five-burner KitchenAid gas cooktop, custom wood cabinetry, granite counters, and a marble backsplash that feels intentional rather than trendy. Cathedral ceilings in the expanded living room and primary suite create breathing room in what started as a compact 1960s footprint. The flooring transitions seamlessly from tile in the main living areas and kitchen to fresh carpet in the primary bedroom and secondary spaces. A walk-through utility room with floor-to-ceiling pantry storage connects the garage to the home, solving the practical problem that older layouts tend to create.

The electrical system, plumbing, and HVAC have been rebuilt rather than patched. A new roof arrived in August 2025, a high-efficiency HVAC system was installed in April 2025, and new interior doors and hardware were completed this April. That under-slab plumbing replacement in 2022 represents $47,000 in preventive infrastructure work. This isn't cosmetic refreshing; this is a home that's been maintained like something the owners actually wanted to keep.

Westover Hills sits on the west side of Austin, bounded by Exposition Boulevard and Spicewood Springs Road, with Hill Elementary, Murchison Middle, and Anderson High School serving the neighborhood through Austin ISD. The lot runs 0.225 acres beneath mature live oaks, with a covered front porch and rear porch that invite you to pause. Large trees provide the kind of shade that older Austin neighborhoods are built around, not added as an afterthought.

At $1.20 million and 2,511 square feet, the price per square foot sits at $478, reflecting both the Westover Hills address and the genuine renovation work rather than a surface-level flip. The primary bedroom sits on the main floor with no interior steps required to reach it, the smart thermostat can be controlled remotely, and the in-law floorplan option means flexible use of space. This is a home for people who want established neighborhood character with systems that actually work.

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.
