Austin, TX 78704 1811 Brackenridge St

Nestled beneath a canopy of heritage Oaks and preserved Elms, this residence was transformed by the renowned Ravel Architecture, and is a bold expression of modern design, seamlessly integrating organic materials and a reverence for its natural surroundings. Tucked behind a discreet, easily-gated entrance, the home sits atop verdant grounds, offering absolute privacy just moments from the vibrant heartbeat of South Congress. An artful interplay of wood, steel, glass, and aluminum creates a striking facade that gives way to a fully enclosed patio living room—punctuated by skylights that bathe the space in natural light. A subtle transition welcomes you into the heart of the home: a voluminous living space anchored by site-cast concrete, soaring glass walls, and a flow that fuses form and function. The chef’s kitchen is a sculptural centerpiece featuring a dramatic quartzite island, custom blue cabinetry with built-in dual refrigerators, Miele appliances, wet bar and galley-style pantry. A modern utility space, elevated by floating up-lit cabinetry and frosted glass, seamlessly integrates function and design. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, set beneath an architecturally angled roofline that invites streams of light into the spa-like bath and custom walk-in wardrobe. Two additional en-suite bedrooms each extend to private outdoor patios. Throughout the home, curated touches such as floating stone vanities, warm wood paneling, and oversized built-in closets speak to an uncompromising attention to detail. Additional amenities include a two-car carport, whole-home automation, integrated surround sound, and permitted, shovel-ready plans for a bespoke pool. Perched on an oversized lot with dual access from Drake and Brackenridge Drive, this residence offers rare proximity to the Lady Bird Lake boardwalk, local parks, and the cultural pulse of South Congress—all while delivering the quiet prestige of one of Austin’s most treasured neighborhoods.
