A Rare Midcentury Modern Gem with Downtown Views. Originally designed in 1951 by Austin architect Thomas Shefelman, this California-style midcentury modern home in Rollingwood has been thoughtfully remodeled and expanded by Nix Group Architects. Located just minutes from downtown and walkable to Zilker Park and the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail, it offers timeless design and a view of the Austin skyline through floor-to-ceiling living room windows. The light-filled living area is complete with cork flooring, operable high-low windows, and a suspended fireplace. The kitchen was completely rebuilt with a raised sloped ceiling, clerestory windows, and a reconfigured north wall with new counter-height windows. Though modernized, the original stainless steel sink was restored and reused. Remodeled in 2012 by the current owners, interior updates at the time included remodeled baths, hallway, utility room, and a redesigned HVAC. A workroom was added to the carport, and a standing seam metal roof replaced the original membrane. A backyard deck and entry walkscape enhance the outdoor spaces. This home is a true architectural treasure—restored with care and designed for modern living. In the highly sought after Eanes ISD and one of the best locations within Rollingwood!
