Imagine standing on a high ridge in Northwest Hills, cocktail in hand, watching the sunset glow against the arches of the Pennybacker Bridge; that's the daily backdrop at this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 3-story hillside single-family home. Original 1984 architecture brings serious character and front-row seats to Lake Austin and the Austin Country Club below. Calling Northwest Hills home means winding drives under mature oak trees, true hilltop privacy, and an authentic Austin neighborhood vibe that takes decades to cultivate. Inside, 3,076 sq ft of split-level space gives you phenomenal bones and room to execute your own big vision. The main-floor living room steals the show with soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of glass framing those panoramic views. The kitchen offers a great footprint with white cabinetry and granite counters. French doors lead from the living room straight out onto an expansive deck built for weekend gatherings and watching the boats pass on the water. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite enjoys elevated views, great natural light and an ensuite bathroom. The lowest floor features 2 guest bedrooms, a full bathroom and hides a private wine cellar along with tons of storage. The exterior offers a tile roof set among established trees. Tucked into one of Northwest Hills' most scenic pockets, you are minutes from Loop 360, Mopac, Bull Creek Greenbelt, and Mount Bonnell. Grab coffee down Far West Blvd, head to The Domain for dinner, or reach Downtown Austin in no time, all while coming home to a hilltop retreat that feels miles away from the ordinary. Whether you keep the existing footprint and bring it to life with cosmetic updates, or go for a full down-to-the-studs transformation, you can't go wrong with structural bones this solid and views this rare in Northwest Hills.
