McKinley Vista
3010 East 18½ St, Unit A
3 Bed · 2 Full + 2 Half Bath
A designer's take on the modern farmhouse — and nothing like the black-and-white version you've seen a hundred times. Exposed brick, polished concrete, custom cabinetry, and wire-brushed oak across three finished levels, plus a private rooftop terrace up top. Every level is finished with care.
Not Your Typical Farmhouse
Skip the black-and-white cliché. This is a warmer, richer, more architectural take — one of the most distinctive homes in 78702, finished to impress on every level.
The main level is an open-concept showpiece: soaring designer light fixtures, an exposed custom brick wall, and polished concrete floors that read more gallery than farmhouse. The kitchen is the anchor — custom white shaker cabinetry, a quartz waterfall island, a custom tile backsplash, and high-end stainless appliances, all wrapped in natural light.
Upstairs, wire-brushed oak hardwood runs through the second and third floors. The second floor holds all three bedrooms — including a tranquil owner's suite with its own dramatic brick accent wall and two guest bedrooms — and two full baths.
The third floor adds flexibility: a large bonus living room that works as a media room, home office, or hangout, opening onto a private rooftop terrace with a view toward downtown Austin. It's a versatile home from top to bottom.
A Private Rooftop Terrace
Off the third-floor bonus room, a private terrace opens to a view of the Austin skyline. A bar rail with counter stools lines one side, and a cushioned lounge sits on the other — a comfortable spot for a morning coffee or an evening outside, with string lights for after dark.
