Positioned atop iconic Mount Bonnell, this architectural residence occupies one of the most extraordinary view sites in Austin. Oriented toward Lake Austin, the home captures a perspective rarely found anywhere in the city, with sweeping views that extend from the downtown skyline to the broad expanse of Lake Austin beyond. From both the main and lower levels, walls of glass frame a constantly changing landscape of water, city lights, and rolling hills, creating the sensation of floating above the lake while remaining minutes from downtown Austin.

Designed by Will Washer, built by BRF Homes, Inc., and featuring interiors by Annie Downing, the home reflects a shared commitment to architecture, craftsmanship, and material integrity. Every stone, wood species, and finish was carefully sourced well in advance of construction to achieve a level of quality rarely seen in new construction. Native stone, steel, and expansive glass are paired with custom walnut and hemlock millwork and plaster walls.  Quartzite, marble, dolomite, and terrazzo surfaces are layered throughout. Studio Marchant artisan hardware complements the custom woodwork and reinforces the home's attention to detail.

The main level is designed for both gathering and privacy, anchored by a living room, kitchen, and dining room that are fully immersed in the views. A walnut and steel wine display serves as a sculptural focal point within the dining room alongside a wet bar. The kitchen showcases extraordinary custom walnut cabinetry, premium appliances, and a fully equipped butler's pantry. The privately positioned primary suite enjoys dramatic skyline views from both the bedroom and bath, while a dedicated study with a full bath offers additional flexibility.

More than 1,100 square feet of covered outdoor living space spans both levels of the home, including multiple living and dining areas, an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, pool, and spa. The lower level includes three additional bedroom suites, a spacious game room with bar, pool bath, gym/wellness room, and a dedicated office or flex space. Expansive glass openings connect these spaces directly to the pool terrace, where the combination of downtown skyline and Lake Austin views creates an outdoor setting that is exceptionally rare.

Walled, gated, and fenced for complete privacy.  Additional features include a comprehensive Lutron lighting system, an integrated security system, and Sonos audio throughout.  

The combination of Mount Bonnell's premier location, simultaneous downtown skyline and long-range Lake Austin views, architectural pedigree, and superior level of craftsmanship makes this a truly rare offering.
