About this home
Welcome to The Arbor House, an extraordinary modern residence in the heart of Pemberton Heights, one of Austin's most prestigious and established neighborhoods. Overlooking Shoal Creek with private access to Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Trail, this architectural masterpiece offers an exceptional blend of contemporary design, natural beauty, and one of the most coveted locations in Central Austin. Just minutes from Downtown, Clarksville, Tarrytown, The University of Texas, Lady Bird Lake, and Austin's premier dining, shopping, and cultural destinations, the home delivers a lifestyle that is both connected and remarkably private.
Designed by renowned architect Sam Burch, built by Risinger Build, and developed by Kalantari Group, The Arbor House is a thoughtful expression of modern architecture rooted in timeless materials and enduring craftsmanship. A dramatic dual sided Presidio glass entry welcomes you into light filled interiors where soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass, wide plank white oak flooring, custom shiplap detailing, and carefully curated finishes create an atmosphere that feels both refined and inviting.
At the center of the home, the chef's kitchen was designed for effortless everyday living and exceptional entertaining. Reclaimed white oak cabinetry pairs beautifully with dramatic soapstone countertops, while a 48 inch Bertazzoni range, premium integrated appliances, and an elegant wet bar finished with viola marble and brass accents elevate both form and function. An adjoining butler's pantry, complete with a timeless grey and white marble checkerboard floor, provides generous prep space and additional storage.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat overlooking the property's mature heritage oak canopy and Shoal Creek. A spa inspired marble bath, freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk in closet, and private balcony create a peaceful sanctuary that feels worlds away from the city, despite being only minutes from its vibrant core.
Upstairs, a spacious flex living area offers endless versatility as a media room, home office, fitness studio, playroom, or additional lounge, allowing the home to adapt beautifully to every stage of life.
Outdoor living has been thoughtfully enhanced to complement the home's exceptional setting. Recent improvements include professionally redesigned landscaping, new sod, expanded planting beds, additional privacy trees, and a striking custom steel front entry gate that creates an even more memorable arrival while enhancing privacy throughout the property. A resort style swimming pool is currently under construction and will soon complete the backyard as a private outdoor retreat beneath the mature heritage oak canopy. A screened porch, outdoor kitchen, and multiple gathering spaces provide the perfect setting for entertaining, while direct access to Shoal Creek, Pease Park, and the Shoal Creek Trail creates an unmatched connection to Austin's outdoor lifestyle.
Few homes offer this unique combination of architectural pedigree, direct park frontage, walkability, and access to nature while remaining moments from the city's most sought after destinations. Situated within highly desirable Pemberton Heights, The Arbor House enjoys immediate access to Downtown Austin, Clarksville, Tarrytown, West Austin, Lady Bird Lake, The University of Texas, and many of Austin's leading private schools.
With architecture by Sam Burch, construction by Risinger Build, a resort style pool nearing completion, beautifully reimagined grounds, direct Shoal Creek frontage, and private access to Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Trail, The Arbor House represents one of the most compelling luxury offerings in Central Austin. Opportunities to own a home of this caliber, in a setting this rare, are exceptionally few....
