Property Overview

Perched above Zilker Park's iconic canopy, this 2001-built residence on Stratford Drive commands skyline views that define Austin living at its finest. The 4,521-square-foot home sits on nearly half an acre, positioning owners steps away from Barton Springs Pool, the Hike & Bike Trail, and some of South Lamar's best dining destinations. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light, while rich custom wood built-ins and multiple living spaces reflect thoughtful design throughout this Zilker sanctuary.

The primary suite becomes a personal retreat with its private balcony showcasing city views, working fireplace, and adjoining sitting room suited for a home office or library. A chef's kitchen provides substantial storage and counter space for serious cooking, while the wraparound deck on the main level opens onto landscaped grounds ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings overlooking the park. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodate family and guests with equal comfort.

At $653 per square foot, this property sits slightly above the neighborhood's median while delivering rare proximity to downtown, Lady Bird Lake, and Austin's most accessible outdoor recreation. The 34-day listing timeline suggests strong buyer interest in this caliber of Zilker real estate.
