About this home
In the heart of Zilker, 801 Spofford is a collector’s piece for the mid-century modern purist. Originally built in 1955 and restored in 2019 under the guidance of Rick + Cindy Black Architects with interiors by Ashby Collective, the home embodies a level of architectural pedigree seldom seen in today’s market. Its originality and design distinction, recognized by Dwell Magazine (“A 1950s Austin Ranch House Gets a Luxe Revamp With Southwest Flair"), underscore the appeal of this timeless residence. At 2,711 square feet with 3/3+office, this home distills the essence of mid-century architecture: clean lines, clerestory windows, a sunken living room and bespoke built-ins. The interior palette of wood and terrazzo feels at once warm and restrained, while an open, fluid layout and rhythmic beamed ceilings give the spaces an effortless cadence. Sunlight moves gracefully throughout, reinforcing the connection to the outdoors. The primary suite is set apart as a secluded retreat, anchored by a dedicated soaking room. Every detail strikes a careful balance between original character and modern livability.
Beyond its architecture, the 0.343-acre lot is equally compelling. Sheltered by centuries-old oaks, the grounds feel expansive and private. The unique location also affords dual points of entry: a rear gate opens to Juliet Street, offering easy access for guests, entertaining or service. Along Spofford Street, a height restriction preserves the scale and character of the surrounding homes, ensuring this quiet refuge extends to the entirety of the street.
The adjacent property, 803 Spofford (1,548sf, 3/2, .343 acres), is also available for purchase in tandem, creating the opportunity for a compound-style retreat or secure additional land in Zilker’s most desirable pocket. Just minutes from Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool and South Austin’s most beloved destinations, 801 Spofford is a singular offering that embodies the city’s past and present with equal grace....
