An Architectural Digest-worthy home in Central Austin’s Brentwood neighborhood just went on the market for $5.5 million.
The property, which dates back to 1955, features a single-story main house, a guest house, and a pool. The home occupies a nearly one-acre site at 5500 Shoal Creek Blvd. that backs up to the Shoal Creek Greenbelt.
The owner of the 4,693-square-foot home, interior designer Rebekah Gainsley, revamped the property in tandem with Laura Roberts Design and landscape architecture firm Studio Balcones.
Highlights of the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home include:
- Climate-controlled, two-car garage
- Floor-to-ceiling windows
- Art lighting
- Six-burner Bertazzoni range
- Custom audio system
- Automated entry gate
- In-ground trampoline
“The primary bedroom is thoroughly private, as it oversees the grounds from the perspective of being high among the trees,” the listing says. “The primary bath is intimate and nurturing, with an oversized double-head shower surrounded by rich, dark plaster and custom tile work.”
