Description

Completed in 2021 by Roost Custom Homes as the builder’s personal residence, this meticulously crafted 3,260-square-foot three-story property with a detached garage apartment offers a rare blend of modern livability and timeless design. Thoughtfully situated among mature trees on a 0.16 acre lot in Central Austin’s coveted Oakmont Heights neighborhood, the home’s varied rooflines and mixed exterior materials lend it a grounded elegance that harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Designed for a family of five, the layout maximizes space while maintaining warmth and character.

The main house features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with two bedrooms conveniently located on the main level. On the main level, a unique double-shotgun configuration organizes the living, kitchen, and expansive screened porch in a seamless flow to one side of the entry, while the primary suite and an additional bedroom are positioned on the other. A central utility room with backyard access connects both wings. The heart of the home is its spacious screened-in porch—complete with a fireplace and built-in banquette—functioning as an extension of the indoor living area and creating an ideal setting for relaxed gatherings.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed bath, and the third level—currently used as a game room—features transom-style dormer windows that usher in abundant natural light. Built-ins are thoughtfully integrated throughout the home, especially in the children's bedrooms, where custom daybeds with pull-out trundles offer clever functionality.

The home is rich in custom finishes, including exterior and interior steel accents, European white oak flooring, shiplap wall paneling, flush-inset custom cabinetry, and Marvin windows with an oversized Western sliding door. The kitchen is a chef’s delight with walnut butcher block countertops at the island and bar, quartzite perimeter counters, and a premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package.

The primary bath serves as a luxurious retreat with teak cabinetry, a teak shower floor, floor-to-ceiling marble tile, Euros marble countertops, and a steam shower. The secondary downstairs bath features Calacatta Gold counters and full-height tile, delivering a consistent level of design throughout. Additional highlights include a standing seam metal roof, security system with exterior cameras covering all access points, and a striking heritage live oak tree anchoring the front yard. Every detail of this home has been curated for comfort, sophistication, and functionality—offering an exceptional opportunity in both design and lifestyle. 

The fully fenced backyard is an entertainer’s dream, with an Ipe wood deck, artificial turf, mature landscaping, and a putting green for all-season enjoyment.  Tucked behind a motorized gate and accessible via a private alley, the 1.5-car detached garage includes a garage apartment ideal for multigenerational living, a private office, or rental income.

Located within walking distance of Bryker Woods Elementary (Austin ISD’s first IB elementary), Shoal Creek Trail, The Grove, and Austin’s favorite dining and retail spots, this home offers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
