Welcome to Skyhurst!
This exceptional, newly renovated, and restored property is a gorgeous combination of traditional Austin architecture and meticulous mid-century modern design.
While the mid-century vibe is front and center, the inspiration for the interior of this home was to bring the outside in. Trees surround you from the views of the main living space, and the dramatic high ceiling is a show-stopper. The center stage is a vintage suspended fireplace which makes the perfect accessory for the living room while celebrating the house’s history. Additional restoration included the front door and interior stair railings to their natural beauty, which are another nod to the trees with warm wood grains throughout the house.
High-end furnishings include beds you’ll be excited to sleep in, a deep, comfortable semi-circular couch, and oversized seating for resting among the treetops, watching the game, or simply hanging around with your friends and family. The neutral color palette, texture, and use of organic materials add to this house’s overall richness. And unique and custom artwork complete the overall look and feel.
The brand new chef’s kitchen has a beautiful island for food prep and gathering, plus a cozy, custom banquet. Wrap around decks, a hot tub, fire pit, and multi-level outdoor space allow you to take advantage of being next to the greenbelt space right next door.
The location of this house is fantastic too, with Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake, and downtown Austin just minutes away. If you don’t feel like leaving the neighborhood, there’s plenty to do at the house in the downtstairs gameroom, and the grocery store, restaurants, Pinkberry, and much more are within 5 minutes or less.

My family and I stayed here for Thanksgiving and really enjoyed our stay. The home is luxurious and a great location. I would recommend this property to any group looking to enjoy time in Austin.
Great location! 10 minutes to BC golf resort, 10 minutes to downtown and 20 minutes to airport. The accommodations are good, and the Kitchen is well equipped for all cooking needs. We all enjoyed are stay!
Beautiful home. Well equipped. Great location. Would stay there again. However the 10 pm outdoor no use policy is a little too strict. Watch out for the big Boulder coming into the driveway.
We loved this house from the decor to the orgavization to the cleanliness. The pictures are just what you find when you arrived. The 24 hour hot line was a real asset for questions and any problems. The local grocery delivered12 bags of stuff that we did not order and the hot line took care of it.We hope to have the oppertunity to stay there again. We are frequent VRBO renters and this is in our top 2.
This house is gorgeous: even better in-person. Everything from the location (quiet, woodsy neighborhood), to the stunning interior (sleek finishes, trendy furniture, beautiful rugs, art, etc) to the accommodation (comfortable bedding, tons of towels and blankets ). We were beyond comfortable the entire stay and felt pampered calling this home for a few days.
The neighborhood is quiet and family-oriented, so I don't suggest this as a "party house", especially since we were reminded of quiet hours on a few occasions.
But if you're looking for a comfortable, architecturally stunning place to unwind while in Austin, I highly suggest this house.
