A benchmark for contemporary homes in Austin. Beautifully designed by architect Donald Harris, this unique home is a modern work-of-art, built with unparalleled attention to detail.
Ideally located one block from Stacy Pool on one of Travis Height’s most tranquil and desirable streets, it is close to downtown and SOCO, at the heart of Austin’s burgeoning music & arts scene.
Architect Harris brilliantly used the topography–uniting the home seamlessly with its surroundings. The home was designed to embrace an extraordinary 300 year-old live oak tree situated near the center of the property.
2006 Alta Vista successfully blends high-style with a functional environment in which to enjoy life to the fullest.
