Finding a home in the South Menchaca area that offers real space and custom character is rare, but this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom modern take on a New England Saltbox delivers exactly that. Designed by Austin architect Don Harris and executed by Moore-Tate, this detached condo stands completely on its own. It sits on a spacious lot that completely bypasses the typical, squeezed feel of local A/B setups, giving you the true privacy of a single-family property. The home balances crisp architectural lines with an incredibly warm, welcoming energy right in the heart of the 78745 zip code. The main floor features stained concrete floors, starting in a dreamy living room where an accent wall and large windows frame views of the green backyard while filling the entire space with natural light. Right next to it, the kitchen is set up for serious cooking, centered around a quartz island with bar seating, custom cabinets, a tile backsplash, and stainless appliances. There is a full bedroom downstairs, with a wood accent wall, built-ins, and a private door opening directly to the yard, making it an ideal setup for a quiet workspace or long-term guests who want their own main-level full bath. Upstairs, wood floors take over the staircase and the remaining bedrooms. The primary suite is a total standout, featuring high vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a dual vanity, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Outside, the covered back patio looks out over a fully fenced, beautifully landscaped grassy yard with a storage shed and full irrigation. Location-wise, South Menchaca puts you in a sweet spot for navigating Austin. You are tucked away on a quiet street, yet you can hop right onto Highway 290 for a quick trip down to the Austin Airport or a straight shot into Downtown Austin. For daily life, you are just blocks away from hitting Central Market South, catching a movie at the Westgate theater, or grabbing drinks and dinner on St. Elmo.
