419 W Johanna St, Austin, TX 78704
3 Beds 5 Baths 0.47 Acres
Set along more than 200 feet of spring-fed East Bouldin Creek, this architect-designed modern residence offers a rare balance of privacy, architecture, and natural beauty in the heart of Austin.
Nestled on approximately .47 acres beneath a remarkable canopy of heritage live oaks, mature pecans, bald cypress, and elderwood trees, the property feels worlds away while remaining moments from South Congress, downtown, and many of the city’s most celebrated restaurants and shops.
Originally designed by architect Brian Dillard and constructed by Four Square Builders, the residence was thoughtfully conceived to embrace its surroundings through expansive walls of glass, soaring natural light, and a seamless connection to the landscape beyond. More than 1,000 square feet of windows and glass doors frame creek views, mature trees, and the ever-changing presence of native wildlife.
The home combines steel-frame construction and elevated engineering standards with warm, livable spaces designed for both everyday comfort and sophisticated entertaining. Multiple outdoor terraces and gathering areas unfold across the property, creating an exceptional setting for both quiet retreat and large-scale hosting.
In 2023, the property was further enhanced with the addition of a large two-car garage, elevator access, and an expansive second-floor covered terrace overlooking the creek and surrounding canopy.
Construction quality and long-term durability were central to the home’s design, including a slab-on-pier foundation extending into bedrock, Fleetwood aluminum-framed doors and windows, and a main living level elevated well above city floodplain requirements.
Despite its immersive natural setting, the property remains exceptionally walkable — offering a uniquely Austin lifestyle where architectural sophistication, creekside tranquility, and urban energy coexist seamlessly.
