About 1705 Cliffside Drive
Located in one of the most coveted pockets of the highly desirable Barton Hills neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind mid-century residence is a rare architectural treasure. Originally designed by Robert S. Harris, Architect, and rumored to have been built by Stenger, the home was originally built in 1966 and underwent a meticulous renovation and thoughtful addition with architecture by Dob and Eel and build and interior finish out by Cary Paul Studios (awarded 2026 Best Builder by Austin Home) Set on an expansive .33-acre lot beautiful oak trees, this 3,144 SF home showcases a distinctive mid-century layout with bold angles, dramatic lines, and a dramatic central kitchen with celestory windows. The reimagined floor plan offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2 living rooms, and a dedicated study. Enterting thru the restored front door, a striking restored stand-alone fireplace anchors the main living area along with limestone block walls which were restored during the full-scale renovation. The home was fully gutted, with all major systems replaced, offering the rare combination of historic design integrity and the peace of mind of a near-new build. Perfectly positioned within walking distance to Barton Creek Greenbelt trails, Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park, and Barton Hills Elementary, this location offers the quintessential Austin lifestyle. This is a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of Austin’s architectural history - ready for the next era.
