1912 HETHER ST

Living at 1912 Hether is as if all the best things about Austin were distilled into one property: great design, porches made for lingering with friends, grackles chattering from the pecan tree, the crossing guard guiding kids to school across the street, neighbors waving hello, covered parking and great food and live music woven into everyday life. On a corner lot in the heart of Zilker, this 4-bed+study, 3.5-bath home was completed in 2020 by Kipp Flores Architects. European white oak floors, generous living spaces, tall ceilings and abundant natural light give the interiors an easy sophistication. The open-concept kitchen centers around an oversized island with Calacatta quartz, custom two-tone cabinetry, Thermador appliances, a Zephyr wine refrigerator, built-in storage and walk-in pantry. The living room, study, dining room, half bath, mudroom and laundry room complete the main level, with a carport and one-car garage with EV charger. All 4 bedrooms are upstairs, including the primary suite with vaulted ceilings, soaking tub, walk-in shower and walk-in closet. A second bedroom has an en suite bath, while the two additional bedrooms share the third full bath. Out back, a covered patio and built-in DCS grill sit beneath the pecan tree, creating a shaded outdoor room for year-round living. A 14.8 kW, 40-panel solar system was added in 2021, with swale irrigation added in 2022. There is an ease to life here that is hard to replicate. Zilker Elementary/Little Zilker Park are across the street & the Zilker Farmers Market, starting this fall, will be just steps away. Walk to Zilker Park for ACL Fest or a picnic, plunge into Barton Springs, pick up a sourdough boule at ThoroughBread, grab coffee at Desnudo, or take the Butler Trail downtown where restaurants, live music and the everyday rhythm of Austin are all close at hand. This is Zilker at its best: cultured, design-forward, community-minded and unmistakably Austin.
