About This Home
Tucked along Shoal Creek with private access to Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Trail, The Heritage House is a rare architectural jewel in Austin’s coveted Pemberton Heights. Just minutes from downtown, the home feels worlds away—immersed in a canopy of heritage oaks and natural serenity. The residence embodies intentional design and thoughtful craftsmanship. A dramatic dual-sided glass entry sets the tone for interiors where sunlight, organic materials, and meticulous detailing converge. Wide-plank white oak floors, shiplap walls, and soaring ceilings flow through an open layout anchored by a striking kitchen of reclaimed oak cabinetry, soapstone counters, and a Viola marble–clad wet bar. The primary suite offers treetop seclusion with a spa-like marble bath, soaking tub, walk-in closet, and private balcony. Upstairs, a spacious flex room easily transforms into a lounge, studio, or playroom. Outdoors, a screened porch opens to terraced gardens and a flat area designed for a pool and outdoor kitchen— included should the buyer wish—as well as private trail access enhancing the retreat-like setting. Blending architectural distinction with rare natural connection, The Heritage House is a timeless offering in one of Austin’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
