About 1012 Gaston Ave

Welcome to The Arbor House, an extraordinary modern residence in the heart of Pemberton Heights, overlooking Shoal Creek with private access to Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Trail. Just minutes from Downtown Austin, Clarksville, Tarrytown, The University of Texas, Lady Bird Lake, and premier dining and shopping, this architectural masterpiece offers an unmatched blend of design, privacy, and location. Designed by renowned architect Sam Burch, built by Risinger Build, and developed by Kalantari Group, the home showcases timeless architecture and exceptional craftsmanship. A dramatic dual-sided Presidio glass entry opens to light-filled interiors with soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass, wide-plank white oak floors, and designer finishes. The chef's kitchen features reclaimed white oak cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a 48-inch Bertazzoni range, premium integrated appliances, an elegant wet bar with viola marble and brass accents, plus a spacious butler's pantry. The primary suite overlooks the heritage oak canopy and Shoal Creek with a spa-inspired marble bath, soaking tub, oversized walk-in closet, and private balcony. An upstairs flex space serves as a media room, office, gym, playroom, or additional living area. Recent improvements include redesigned landscaping, expanded planting beds, privacy trees, and a custom steel front gate. A resort-style pool is under construction, complementing the screened porch, outdoor kitchen, and multiple entertaining spaces beneath the mature oaks. Few homes combine direct park frontage, private trail access, architectural pedigree, and walkability while remaining moments from Austin's most desirable destinations. The Arbor House is a rare opportunity to own one of Central Austin's premier luxury residences.
