Palm Springs modern architecture meets a private Japanese Zen resort in the heart of Central Austin. Hidden away on approximately .33 of an acre, this home is a truly unique single-story modern home where architecture, privacy and outdoor living come together in a way that is increasingly difficult to find in Austin. Built by Metrohouse and inspired by classic Palm Springs modern design, the home’s low, horizontal architecture was designed around a seamless connection between indoors and out. Set well back from the street on a private flag lot, the home feels remarkably secluded. But the real story unfolds beyond the walls. Over the years, the backyard has been completely transformed into an extraordinary Zen-inspired garden and private resort. Mature bamboo, lush plants, flowers and thoughtfully planted trees surround multiple ponds with running water, creating a peaceful backdrop throughout the property. Multiple seating and gathering areas are tucked into the landscape, while an abundance of mature shade makes the outdoor spaces enjoyable even during the Texas summer. At the center of it all is the pool and spa, surrounded by expansive outdoor living areas and a covered patio with a full outdoor kitchen. Whether entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet afternoon surrounded by the sounds of running water and nature, this backyard feels worlds away from the city. The home's thoughtful single-story floor plan continues the indoor/outdoor experience, while a connected guest/in-law suite with its own kitchenette, w/d and bathroom provides exceptional flexibility. A three-car garage and breezeway add another unique entertaining space and further reinforce the home's open-air Palm Springs character. This home isn't another newly built white-box modern home. It has architectural history, personality and a landscape that has taken years to mature. This home is truly a one of one, must see.

From the curb, it seems like a classic Avery Ranch home. Step inside, and the script changes. Nearly $140K in renovations have taken this 4-bedroom, single-story home well beyond cosmetic updates. The roof was replaced in 2025, while the remodeled kitchen and baths, continuous porcelain tile flooring, with no carpet anywhere, and updated finishes give the interior a crisp, contemporary look throughout. At the front of the home, the formal living and dining rooms can keep their traditional roles or change along with the needs of the household. From there, the layout opens into a large family room, where tall ceilings and stacked windows pull in natural light while a floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile fireplace adds sharp contrast and a strong focal point. The kitchen sits right alongside the action, finished with white cabinetry, quartz counters and SS appliances. Breakfast bar seating and an integrated breakfast nook offer two casual places to gather without taking over the formal dining room. Positioned at the back of the home, the primary bedroom overlooks the yard and includes its own impressive ensuite and generous walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms can accommodate family and guests while still leaving the option for an office, workout room or whatever else needs its own door. The living space continues outside beneath a covered patio that runs nearly the full length of the home. There is enough room for dining, grilling, a game-day TV setup and even a future outdoor kitchen, all overlooking a fenced yard shaded by mature trees. The corner setting adds another practical advantage: no next-door neighbor on one side. Golf, pools, tennis, pickleball, parks and trails are part of life in Avery Ranch, along with Round Rock ISD schools and convenient access to The Domain, Austin’s tech corridor, major employers, SH 45 and MoPac. It has the Avery Ranch address and single-story practicality, but the inside is anything but ordinary! Seller is offering seller finan.
