About 3508 Bridle Path
Designed by renowned UT architect James Coote as his personal residence, this thoughtfully reimagined home blends architectural significance with modern comfort and a subtle Scandinavian sensibility. Clean lines, restrained materials, and an emphasis on light define the space. Originally built in 1975 and recently taken down to the studs, the renovation preserves Coote’s vision while delivering the functionality and finish of a new home. Centered around a signature courtyard layout, the design draws natural light deep into the interiors and creates a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A private courtyard pool serves as a striking focal point, ideal for everyday living and entertaining, while a separate backyard offers additional flexibility. The home features four bedrooms, including a private wing suited for guests, a home office, or flexible living, plus an additional ensuite bedroom on the main level. The primary suite and another bedroom are located upstairs. The renovation prioritizes health and efficiency with upgraded siding and insulation, new roofing, whole-house water filtration, UV sanitation, and reverse osmosis drinking water. Additional features include heated floors in three bathrooms, high-end appliances, a whole-house dehumidifier, and a pool by Westbank Pools. Interior living spaces are anchored by a fireplace and finished with a clean, modern aesthetic that complements the home’s architectural roots. The layout balances openness with defined areas for both connection and privacy. Ideally located in Tarrytown, just minutes from Lake Austin and Downtown Austin, the property offers easy access to local favorites like Mozart’s Coffee Roasters, Quince Lakehouse, and Hula Hut, as well as Walsh Boat Landing. Zoned to exemplary Casis Elementary School. Original plans for the home are preserved at University of Texas at Austin, reflecting Coote’s lasting impact. A rare opportunity to own a design-driven residence with meaningful architectural history.
