Sophisticated Luxury Home With Serene Green Views

Overlooking Pease Park in prestigious Pemberton Heights, 1001 Gaston Avenue offers a rare combination of privacy, elegance, and sophisticated urban living. Enveloped by mature trees and beautifully considered grounds, this exceptional five-bedroom residence is defined by expansive, light-filled interiors, refined architectural details, and an enduring commitment to quality.

The home has been thoughtfully elevated through a series of renovations, updates, and improvements, with interiors by Leigh Chiu Designs and renovation and maintenance by Dalgleish Construction. Architect Matt Garcia was commissioned for the kitchen renovation and front-entry redesign. In the kitchen, sleek Poliform cabinetry is paired with Silestone countertops, Miele appliances, a Scotsman ice maker, and coordinating Poliform counter stools, creating a space that balances sophisticated design with exceptional functionality. At the front of the home, Garcia’s redesign introduces a new walkway, front door, and full-height sidelight, creating a striking and welcoming sense of arrival.

Upgraded and refurbished windows and doors throughout further enhance the home’s architectural character and connection to its natural surroundings. Custom window treatments and upgraded lighting add warmth and sophistication, while fireplaces in the dining room, library/bar, and main living room create inviting spaces for both intimate gatherings and gracious entertaining. An integrated audio-visual system by VOX Integrations has been upgraded throughout the residence.

Five bedrooms, five full baths and two half baths provide generous accommodations, with two of the bedrooms offering adjacent sitting areas that provide flexible spaces for reading, relaxing, or private retreats. Two dedicated laundry rooms add convenience.

The primary suite is a serene private retreat, with beautiful windows framing views into the mature tree canopy and filling the space with natural light. This elevated perspective offers an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. The generously proportioned primary bath features a dual-sink vanity, large soaking tub, and spacious steam shower, complemented by an expansive walk-in closet.

Outside, the property becomes an extraordinary private retreat overlooking one of Austin’s most treasured green spaces. French doors open from the main living room to a covered porch, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. A newly laid flagstone patio offers additional inviting spaces for lounging, outdoor dining, and entertaining. Landscape design by Thompson + Hanson is complemented by architectural landscape lighting from Moon Lighting Company, creating a captivating setting both day and night. A pool and hot tub are surrounded by upgraded hardscape, water features, and lush landscaping, while a new private water well and an entirely new landscape irrigation system support the beautifully maintained grounds.

A new roof, completed in 2025, adds to the extensive list of improvements and reflects the care invested in the property over time. From the architecture and interiors to the landscape, lighting, and technology, every element has been thoughtfully considered, reflecting a consistent commitment to quality, design, and detail.

Elegant yet inviting, private yet remarkably connected to the city, 1001 Gaston Avenue represents a distinctly Austin expression of luxury—sophisticated, understated, and immersed in nature, with Pease Park as its extraordinary backdrop.
