About this property

A rare opportunity to own a piece of midcentury Austin history, this architecturally distinctive home was one of the first few in Northwest Hills, featured in the 1962 Parade of Homes. Designed by Frank De Groot, it embodies the essence of organic modernism, blending natural materials, warm wood tones, & seamless indoor-outdoor living. The stacked river stone exterior is both warmly inviting & architecturally significant. A secluded front walkway leads guests past the private walled garden into the entry foyer; to the left, the family room, dining area, & kitchen flow seamlessly together. To the right, the generous formal living room features a vaulted, exposed beam ceiling & is anchored by a recessed stone fireplace with an elevated hearth—a stunning focal point for intimate gatherings. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors bathe the space in natural light & offer seamless indoor-outdoor living, with views of the front garden & private patio. The sleek updated (2010) kitchen features custom cabinetry with clever storage, while the original oven (still works!) is nestled inside an impressive stone wall. Each of the three spacious bedrooms offers generous closet space, while the two original bathrooms showcase classic tilework & timeless design, impeccably maintained to preserve their vintage appeal. This home has been meticulously cared for, with new carpet & one of the cleanest pre-inspection reports you’ll find on a home of this era. Every detail reflects the love and attention that has gone into maintaining its integrity while ensuring modern livability. With its blend of iconic architecture, thoughtful updates, and unbeatable location, this home is ready for its next chapter. Could it be yours??
