The Balcones Treehouse is a stunning architectural revival in the heart of Highland Park West. Originally built mid-century and meticulously expanded in 2017, this 5-bedroom, 4 full bathroom, multi-living-area estate blends thoughtful design with refined functionality across an expansive, private lot on legendary Balcones Drive. Designed to live primarily as a single-level home, the main floor features five spacious bedrooms, a dedicated office, three living areas, and a media room—all flowing effortlessly into multiple covered outdoor living and dining spaces. Vaulted ceilings, clean lines, and oversized windows invite natural light and greenery into every corner of the home. Downstairs, a walk-out guest suite offers rare versatility—complete with private entrance, living room, full bath, and spacious bedroom. Ideal for extended guests, live-in family, or quiet creative work- it’s a secluded extension of this already expansive home. While every inch of the property exudes elegance, the true star of the show is the backyard—a breathtaking retreat nestled under a canopy of towering heritage oaks. This private, park-like setting unfolds in layers of curated outdoor living: dine al fresco, unwind in the shade, or simply take in the natural beauty that surrounds you. It’s more than a backyard—it’s a sanctuary in the city, and the soul of the home. Walk to Highland Park Elementary, Perry Park, Mount Bonnell, and beloved local spots for coffee, dining, and shopping—The Balcones Treehouse offers timeless luxury, intentional design, and walkable convenience in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods.
