2308 1/2 E 9th St Experience modern living at its finest in this architectural masterpiece. Perched on a private hilltop in the heart of East Austin, this home is a rare architectural retreat just blocks from the energy of East Austin's most beloved restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife-yet quietly tucked away above it all. Designed by AIA award-winning Alterstudio Architecture and paired with landscape design by acclaimed Mark Word, this single-story modern residence is a refined study in light, materials, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Large windows bring the outdoors in, filling the open-concept interior with natural light. Polished concrete floors in the common living areas, warm white oak floors in the bedrooms, and sleek Silestone countertops create a clean, elevated aesthetic that feels both gallery-inspired and livable. Every detail is intentional. Every line, purposeful. Step outside to the expansive screened-in patio-your year-round extension of living space-ideal for hosting friends before heading to dinner at Suerte, grabbing cocktails at Whisler's, or brunching at Launderette. Walk to coffee at Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors or explore nearby green space at Boggy Creek Greenbelt. Downtown Austin is just minutes away. The private, landscaped lot enhances the sense of calm-an unexpected sanctuary in one of Austin's most dynamic neighborhoods.
