A privately gated Santa Barbara-style estate in the heart of Tarrytown, The Villa offers timeless architecture, modern livability, and one of the most desirable locations in Austin. Designed by Cornerstone Architects and nestled behind a limestone wall and flickering gas lanterns, this 78703 residence combines elegance, privacy, and refined design in a setting that feels both serene and central.
Steel-framed windows and doors flood the interiors with natural light and open onto a beautifully landscaped backyard, complete with boxed gardens, grassy steps, and ample space to add a pool. The covered loggia invites year-round outdoor living, featuring a Douglas Fir ceiling, limestone fireplace, built-in grill, and integrated AV system.
At the center of the home, the kitchen is a showcase of craftsmanship--featuring hardwood cabinetry, an apron-front sink, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a walk-in pantry and utility room designed with everyday functionality in mind.
A library-style study includes floor-to-ceiling shelving with integrated lighting, while the main-level guest suite offers a full kitchen and its own private exterior entrance--perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or live-in support. The primary suite provides a peaceful escape with a spa-like bath, soaking tub, and walk-in shower.
Upstairs, a cozy landing leads to additional bedrooms and bathrooms, along with an interior breezeway to the guest quarters--also accessible by its own separate entrance for added flexibility and privacy.
Even the garage is finished to perfection, with an epoxy-coated floor ideal for a home gym, workshop, or studio.
Situated within the coveted 78703 zip code and zoned to top-rated Casis Elementary and Austin High School, The Villa is just minutes from Lake Austin, downtown, and the best of Central Austin living. This is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home that feels both grounded in tradition and built for today.
