Description
In Austin's Westwood neighborhood, this single-story residence sits on a landscaped 0.43-acre corner lot and reflects a comprehensive architect-led transformation by Alterstudio Architecture. Originally built in 1970, the home was taken down to the studs in 2016 and reimagined to improve structure, light, and livability, introducing vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a more open interior layout across approximately 2,804 square feet (per FPG).
The three-bedroom, three-bath floor plan centers on bright living spaces with wood flooring and a custom indoor fireplace. A reconfigured layout created a larger primary suite and an expanded, sound-isolated media room, while custom Crystal Cabinetry, updated appliances, and new plumbing and electrical systems were installed throughout the renovation.
Additional improvements included new windows and doors, insulation upgrades with spray foam, integrated Control4 smart home and security, and built-out attic storage above the garage.
Outdoor spaces were designed for both function and scale. The backyard features a pool and spa added in 2018, surrounded by substantial hardscape, lawn areas, and mature trees, with utility connections already extended for a potential future cabana. More recent capital improvements include a standing-seam metal roof, updated cedar siding and eaves, refreshed front and side yard landscaping and hardscape, a new HVAC unit serving the bedroom wing, and a Speed Queen washer and dryer.
A carefully modernized Westwood property combining architectural clarity, thoughtful systems upgrades, and a generously sized lot.
Benefits from a low 1.45% tax rate because property is located in the West Lake Hills ETJ.
