Contemporary sits on a nearly half-acre lot in Austin’s Terrytown neighborhood.
Oak-lined streets, a historic golf course, a nature reserve where peacocks strut their stuff. Welcome to Tarrytown, a sought-after residential neighborhood along the Colorado River in Austin, Texas.
But don’t mistake a sluggish environment for a sleepy one. Tree-shaded homes in a long-established community are close to shopping, schools and a modern art museum housed in a 1916 Italianate villa. Downtown Austin is just a short drive away.
