This well-maintained four-bedroom home in the highly sought-after Westover Hills neighborhood sits on a quarter-acre lot shaded by recently trimmed, mature oak trees, offering both comfort and character in an established community.

Outdoors, a charming stone-walled front courtyard is perfect for a garden or a quiet seating area, while the screened-in back porch provides a peaceful retreat to enjoy year-round. The attached garage opens to the backyard, with a gated driveway that connects to Mesa Drive, making everyday living convenient and accessible. Westover Hills is beloved for its tree-lined streets, welcoming atmosphere, and top-rated Austin ISD schools. Its central location offers quick access to shopping, dining, parks, The Domain, and major roadways, balancing the ease of city living with a peaceful suburban feel. This home combines preserved character with thoughtful updates, presenting an exceptional opportunity to make it your own in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
