THE VISTA RESIDENCE

Introducing 3407 Monte Vista Drive, a breathtaking architectural gem nestled amidst lush vegetation in the coveted West Austin neighborhood of Balcones Park. The Vista Residence is a masterpiece of design, capturing a sense of adventure and discovery that unfolds in magnificent fashion. Envisioned by Texas Medal of Arts Award Winning architects, Miró Rivera, and constructed by J. Pinnelli Company, a leader in Texas green building and building science applications for 3 decades. Sitio Design curated and created the thriving landscape that encapsulates this property and gives it its peaceful luxury ambiance.
Amid the lush foliage, you'll immediately be captivated by a series of outdoor spaces defined by form board concrete walls, steel rod custom fencing, floor-to-ceiling commercial grade German windows, and intentional standing seam metal cantilevered roof profiles. These spaces are designed to provide a sense of directionality essentially “pointing” to the southeastern views and downtown skyline beyond. Exposed concrete, metal, and Öko Skin insulated plank cladding were thoughtfully chosen for their durability, sustainability, and ease of maintenance making this home both stunningly beautiful and practical. A rooftop solar panel array provides 65% of the home's energy usage.

Once inside, a magnificent three-story staircase constructed of 5/8" thick plate steel is a true work of art and acts as a pivotal center point for the home as rooms and hallways unfold from each of the 3 levels. This mesmerizing feature provides dramatic visuals revealing itself in curious ways depending on the angle. It can appear structural and substantial or light and floating. Warm white oak millwork cabinetry and flooring combined with crisp white solid surface accents, level 5 drywall along with modern recessed skirting create a timeless clean look with impeccable sightlines
A two-story Zen Courtyard positioned in the heart of the home, complete with an Oculus roof light, filters in soft natural light and serves as a calming meditation space centering those who enter.
The primary bedroom located on the main floor is enclosed on three sides, emphasizing the breathtaking views outward, while the primary bath, shower, and soaking tub, open up to a northern-facing private garden retreat. Built-ins are thoughtfully positioned throughout this home including the primary suite along with a California closet system to maximize storage.
The open kitchen, dining, and living spaces are designed for large gatherings as well as fundraisers and public events. Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances equip this entertaining kitchen featuring a large butler’s pantry and service area. The living room features acoustic wood ceiling panels and wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling windows that enhance the sound quality, provide visual warmth, and gorgeous views while built-in benches offer ample seating.
The lower floor hosts two ample bedrooms with built-in wardrobe cabinetry, a full shared bath, and a dedicated living/media room. A spacious game room/gym area, also located on the lower level, provides an added flex space for any lifestyle or hobby. This space offers playful accents and exposed concrete finishes denoting a more laid-back atmosphere than the other levels of the home. Don’t miss the “pet room” downstairs with direct access to the backyard, pet bed pods, sink, and an outdoor pet shower.
Upstairs, the office and 3rd living area enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of downtown Austin’s city skyline and the hill country, providing an ideal space for work or relaxation while lounging on the extended covered balcony. The office can be converted into a 4th bedroom with ease having an adjacent full bathroom and beverage bar.
Every element has been carefully considered in this smart automated home including active monitoring, management, and surveillance for security, lighting, solar, AV equipment, HVAC systems, recessed shades, garage and front systems.
Located less than 1 mile from Mount Bonnell Park overlooking breathtaking views of Lake Austin; Camp Mabry and Bright Leaf Preserve also within 2 miles provide this property convenient access to a range of Austin’s top outdoor activities.
