Description

The open-concept interior features expansive living and dining...Tucked into the heart of Bouldin, 2205 South 3rd captures the essence of 78704 living—effortlessly stylish, thoughtfully designed, and remarkably private. Built in 2016, the home blends clean architectural lines with warm, natural materials, offering a rare combination of urban access and everyday retreat.
Entry is through a fully fenced front yard framed by mature native greenery and a screened porch that sets a quietly refined tone. The open-concept interior features expansive living and dining spaces anchored by a large kitchen, where custom cabinetry, generous storage, and a central island invite easy gatherings. Oversized sliders blur the line between indoors and out, opening to a covered patio and a heated and cooled pool wrapped in Ipe and Lueder decking—a seamless extension of the living space.
The main-level primary suite offers quiet separation with a spa-like bath and walk-in closet, while upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two full baths (one en suite, one Jack-and-Jill) provide flexibility for family, guests, or office space. A second living area on the upper level adds versatility for media, play, or work.
Modern sustainability is integrated throughout, with solar panels and Tesla Powerwall batteries that offset electric costs and ensure protection from power outages. Additional exterior features include a standing-seam metal roof and full irrigation. A motorized alley gate offers convenient access to covered parking and storage, while the property’s layered landscaping and fencing ensure privacy throughout.
Set within walking distance of South 1st Street favorites—Lenoir, Elizabeth Street Café, Bouldin Creek Café, and Polvos—and minutes from downtown, this home offers the best of Austin’s creative core. It’s a modern farmhouse done right, offering privacy, comfort, and design integrity in one of the city’s most coveted zip codes.
