Description

Situated in the heart of Zilker, one of Austin's most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, 1608 Hether Street is a beautifully reimagined 3/2 designer bungalow that blends timeless architectural charm with elevated modern living. Thoughtfully rebuilt by a respected local designer, the home honors its original 1940s character while introducing a sophisticated interior palette, an open floor plan, and luxurious contemporary finishes. Natural light pours through expansive windows, illuminating original hardwood floors, custom white oak cabinetry, and curated design details that create an atmosphere of effortless elegance. The chef's kitchen is both refined and functional, outfitted with premium appliances, stone countertops, and handcrafted finishes designed to support both daily living and entertaining. Bathrooms have been transformed into serene, spa-like spaces, featuring custom oak vanities, artisan tile from Fireclay and Riad, and Kohler fixtures that reflect a designer's cohesive and thoughtful vision. Outdoors, the home becomes a private retreat with a sparkling saltwater pool, lush native landscaping, and a series of covered and screened outdoor spaces that invite year-round enjoyment. Additional features include a dedicated driveway with a 220V electric vehicle charger, whole-house Aquasana water filtration, and low-maintenance landscape architecture designed for lasting beauty and simplicity. Just minutes from downtown and within walking distance to Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake, and beloved local favorites like Uchi, The Saxon Pub, and Odd Duck, this home offers unmatched access to the best of Austin. Zoned to Zilker Elementary School and close to it all, 1608 Hether Street presents a rare opportunity to live in a turnkey residence where thoughtful design and premier location converge.
