Der Visionär

For more information: [hidden information] The Visionary was created for the way Austin is meant to be lived, open to the outdoors, surrounded by green space, and close to the center of the city. Set on nearly an acre just off Mount Bonnell, the home overlooks Brightleaf Preserve while remaining minutes from downtown, Lake Austin, and the city’s best dining, shopping, and entertainment. The interiors are warm, modern, and beautifully layered. Wood ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, oak cabinetry, richly veined quartzite, and expansive windows give the home a distinctive architectural presence while keeping the surrounding landscape in view. The main level was created for both everyday living and entertaining. The quartzite clad kitchen features oak cabinetry and Thermador appliances, complemented by generous living spaces and a four seasons room enclosed by sliding doors. A fully equipped bar includes counter seating, double Zephyr wine refrigerators, a beverage refrigerator, ice maker, Bosch dishwasher, and sink. Whether hosting an intimate dinner or a large gathering, the home makes entertaining feel effortless. The primary suite features huge windows, an exposed brick wall, and direct access to the pool and spa. The bathroom includes an oversized shower overlooking a private courtyard, an expansive walk in closet, and access to a private outdoor shower. An oversized laundry room, mudroom, and pantry add substantial storage and functionality. The laundry room is complete with a large center island and dedicated dog wash. The lower level offers the flexibility of a second residence, with three bedrooms, three full baths, a kitchenette, a spacious living area, and two offices or flexible rooms with built ins. One bedroom can serve as a second primary suite, making this an ideal arrangement for extended family, older children, long term guests, or live in support. A separate garage apartment includes a full bath, closet, living area, loft, and vaulted ceiling. It provides additional privacy for family or guests and can also function as an office or studio. An elevator connects the home’s levels. Outdoor living is at the heart of The Visionary. A pool and spa span two levels of the property, accompanied by covered entertaining spaces, a pool bath, and an outdoor shower. A fully turfed lower lawn and private sport court provide ample space for recreation, entertaining, and time outdoors. The fenced property backs to protected green space, with trails leading toward the Balcones Canyonlands and Brightleaf Preserve. The setting delivers expansive views and a remarkable sense of privacy this close to downtown Austin. The property also offers ample parking for residents and guests. A large circular driveway creates an impressive arrival, with additional parking along the side of the home, in front of the two car garage, and in a dedicated lower parking area. A stucco exterior and metal roof create a clean, modern profile. The Tesla solar roof is supported by two Tesla Powerwall battery storage units capable of storing several days worth of power during an outage. The property also includes rainwater collection. Zoned to Highland Park Elementary, Lamar Middle School, and McCallum High School, The Visionary offers sophisticated design, exceptional outdoor living, multigenerational flexibility, and privacy in the heart of Austin.
