$760,000 - 918 Cardinal Lane A, Austin

Modern design lands differently when it lives in the middle of old South Austin character, and this Galindo home delivers exactly that balance. Custom built by CCG Development in 2016, this two-story residence sits in a two-unit condo regime with an inactive HOA (no fees) and a location that places 78704 favorites within easy reach. A private carport with garage door, professionally designed landscaping, and a tree-lined setting create a sense of separation that's increasingly rare this close to the city. Inside, oversized windows pull in soft natural light and frame leafy views, while polished concrete floors and tall ceilings give the main level a clean, gallery-like feel. The kitchen steals attention in all the right ways with a waterfall island, under-lit custom cabinetry, statement pendants, premium stone surfaces, designer tile, and built-in stainless appliances including a gas range with vent hood. It all unfolds naturally into the living and dining spaces, creating an atmosphere built for dinner parties, Sunday mornings, and everything in between. A sliding barn door opens to a flexible bonus space ready for a media room, office, guest retreat, or future fourth bedroom. Upstairs, the primary suite creates its own quiet escape with tray ceilings, warm wood floors, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanity and oversized walk-in shower wrapped in designer tile and frameless glass. Outside, the experience continues beneath a covered wood-clad porch with room to linger long after dinner. Steps lead to a private fenced yard framed by mature trees and xeriscape gardens, while a side patio hot tub sets the stage for evenings under the stars. Walk, bike, or scoot to OG Summer Moon, neighborhood pizza spots, community gardens, and local parks, while SoCo, Zilker, Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake, and downtown sit just minutes away. Come see why this corner of 78704 keeps people planting roots.
