About This Home
Set on a rare hilltop just over an acre in highly sought-after Westlake Hills and zoned to top-rated Eanes ISD, Vista on Via Media offers panoramic Hill Country views, exceptional privacy, and resort-style living just 15 minutes from downtown Austin. Completely reimagined in a down-to-the-studs renovation, this 5-bedroom, 5-bath home blends modern construction with timeless design. Walls of glass frame sweeping views, while wide-plank white oak floors, soaring ceilings, and expansive living spaces create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen anchors the open-concept living and dining areas, featuring a striking Cambria quartz island, custom cabinetry with hidden prep pantry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf ovens, induction cooktop, dual Bosch dishwashers, and Zephyr wine fridge. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home opens to expansive composite decks with stainless cable railings overlooking the resort-style 18’ x 38’ pool, propane fire pit, and beautifully curated landscaping. A separate poolside guest quarters with private bedroom, full bath, and cabana-style living space adds flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office. The primary suite is a true retreat with breathtaking views, private deck, coffee bar, bonus flex room, and spa-inspired bath. Generously sized secondary bedrooms and additional flex space upstairs provide versatility for work, fitness, or play. All major systems—including framing, electrical, plumbing, ducting, insulation, doors, and windows—have been replaced, offering the peace of mind of modern construction. Additional highlights include an Empire Boulevard linear fireplace and epoxy-finished garage floors. A rare opportunity to own a private, view-filled sanctuary in one of Westlake’s most desirable locations
