2501 Stratford DrAustin, TX 78746

Description

Some homes are about the house. This one is about the Austin experience you cannot recreate. Perched above Zilker Park with treetop views of the downtown skyline, this custom-built home sits in a one-of-a-kind location near the Rowing Dock, Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, Zilker Park, downtown, and South Lamar’s dining and entertainment. Designed to embrace its elevated setting, the home is filled with natural light, warm custom wood built-ins, and flexible living spaces that invite gathering, reading, working, or simply taking in the view. The spacious kitchen offers abundant storage and workspace with an easy connection to the main living areas. Built with long-term living in mind, the floor plan includes primary bedrooms on both the upper and lower levels. The lower-level primary bath features an accessible roll-in shower, adding comfort and function. The upper-level primary suite feels like a private retreat with skyline views, a fireplace, private balcony, and sitting room ideal for an office, library, or quiet escape. Outdoor living is where this property truly separates itself. A wraparound main-level deck overlooks a beautifully landscaped xeriscape yard with a fountain and babbling brook water feature. Morning coffee, dinner with friends, downtown lights, birdsong, and park views all come naturally here. Located in Austin ISD, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, character, nature, and city access. In a market where buyers have choices, this property stands apart because the setting is nearly impossible to duplicate.
