Property Description
Set along one of Central Austin's most established streets, 3501 Balcones Drive makes an immediate impression with its striking presence, generous proportions, and modern take on timeless architecture. Thoughtfully renovated in 2024 with interiors by Michelle Gerson, the home pairs a fresh, elevated aesthetic with a sense of warmth throughout. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and abundant natural light create an airy openness, while refined finishes bring warmth and sophistication to every space. The entry foyer opens to a flexible living space ideal for an office, lounge, or bar, setting the tone for the gracious proportions found throughout the main level. At the center of the home, the grand living room draws the eye upward with dramatic ceilings, while large windows showcase the expansive backyard and impressive canopy of mature oak trees. Filled with natural light, the space connects seamlessly to the dining area, kitchen, and outdoors. Privately positioned beyond the main living spaces, the primary suite offers a quiet retreat with direct access to the backyard, a spacious bath, and an oversized walk-in closet. A main-level laundry room and garage access complete the first floor. Upstairs, four notably spacious bedrooms offer generous accommodations for family and guests. A second laundry room adds an additional layer of everyday functionality. Outside, the expansive backyard feels like a natural extension of the home, with a broad lawn, mature oak trees, and generous space for gathering, entertaining, and enjoying the outdoors. Ideally positioned along Balcones Drive, the property is within walking distance of neighborhood favorites including Flo's, Westwood Country Club, Mayfield Park, and Laguna Gloria, with Lake Austin and many of Central Austin's most beloved destinations just moments away.
