ABOUT
Set on a .28-acre wooded double lot just minutes from South Congress, this newly constructed architectural gem—designed by renowned architect Winn Wittman—is a rare offering in the highly sought-after Travis Heights neighborhood. Thoughtfully engineered with a steel frame, this home offers unmatched structural integrity, open interior volumes, and floating upper rooms—requiring a level of craftsmanship and investment rarely seen at this price point.
Every inch of this 5-bedroom, 5-bath residence is infused with quality—from the steel-and-glass floating staircase to the floor-to-ceiling Quaker windows (including 11 corner windows and multiple tri-panel glass walls), allowing natural light to flood in and blur the line between indoors and out.
The kitchen is a study in form and function, featuring custom white oak cabinetry, dual cooking zones, Italian granite and marble surfaces, under-counter refrigeration, and fully integrated stainless appliances. An adjacent temperature-controlled wine wall—framed in glass and illuminated with custom lighting—makes a stunning statement.
The living areas feature frameless, solid-core white oak doors with hidden hinges, a modern 100” fireplace with Ann Sacks porcelain tile imported from Israel, and precision ceiling lighting with backlit soffits and niches. Every bathroom includes 8’ frameless shower doors, Italian porcelain, upgraded brass fixtures, and thoughtful luxury touches such as dual master toilets and skylights.
Upstairs, the primary suite features its own floor-to-ceiling fireplace and an extraordinary spa bath with floating oak shelving, custom lighting, and a boutique-style walk-in closet with floating shoe cabinetry—all meticulously crafted on site.
Outside, this property is equally impressive. The custom privacy wall, steel security gate, and upgraded landscaping (including Zoysia grass, stone planter beds, and vertical garden) create a peaceful retreat. Relax by the heated pool/spa with a full jetted system and waterfall feature, entertain with the top-tier Twin Eagles grill on the custom outdoor kitchen, or gather around the front garden fire pit.
Additional highlights include:
Ideally located just an 8-minute walk from the vibrant SoCo district and a short drive to Lady Bird Lake, Downtown Austin, and the airport, this one-of-a-kind residence pairs design-forward architecture with enduring quality for the discerning buyer.

An elegant, advantageously located homebase. Fashioned after the “garden suburbs” popular during the City Beautiful Movement, Travis Heights has always benefited from its close proximity to downtown and to the now-bustling I-35. But this elegant respite has never absorbed the hectic pace of life just beyond its comfortable borders.
