Kuper Sotheby’s agent Hillary Deck’s new listing at 5500 Shoal Creek offers something increasingly hard to find in central Austin: a midcentury modern home on nearly an acre of land, with creek views, mature trees and a sense of privacy just minutes from downtown. The residence was also featured on the 2018 TRIBEZA Interiors Tour, highlighting its standout architecture and design.
Set on a 0.85-acre lot overlooking Shoal Creek, the property sits along one of the city’s most scenic corridors. The home has only one neighboring property, and the land behind it will never be developed, creating a rare level of seclusion in the middle of the city. It feels more like a private retreat than a typical central Austin residence, with heritage trees, garden spaces and outdoor living areas shaping much of the experience.
Light-filled living spaces
The house was designed to make the most of that setting. Expansive sliding glass doors open to multiple outdoor spaces, including generous decks, lush landscaping and a resort-style pool. The indoor-outdoor layout gives the home an easy connection to the landscape, with plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing or simply taking in the creekside views.
Of course, the inside is just as stunning as its outdoor counterpart. Its open-concept layout is filled with natural light and features wide-plank white oak flooring. The light is balanced with the perfect hues of darker paint colors or tiling sprinkled throughout to give it contrast. The thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen with a large center island boasts high-end appliances. Every detail, appliance, and finish has clearly been carefully curated to fit the home’s aesthetic.
The primary suite offers peaceful views and a spa-inspired bath, while three additional bedrooms add flexibility. A private bedroom wing with its own entrance and ensuite bath could work well for guests, multigenerational living or a dedicated workspace. A flex media room offers another functional gathering area.
The property also includes a separate garage apartment with a kitchenette, full bath and private balcony. The fully insulated, climate-controlled garage includes an additional full bath, adding even more flexibility to the property.
5500 Shoal Creek is a rare opportunity to experience a private, design-forward lifestyle in the heart of central Austin — and those don’t come around very often.
