About this home

Perched atop Cat Mountain on a quiet cul-de-sac, 4508 Knap Hollow offers distinctive architecture, abundant natural light and a true lock-and-leave lifestyle just minutes from downtown Austin. Soaring ceilings, dramatic architectural lines and walls of windows create bright, interesting spaces throughout the home. Custom cabinetry handcrafted from Mediterranean olive wood personally imported by the previous owners adds warmth, character and exceptional craftsmanship. The main level features generous living and dining spaces, two bedrooms, and a light-filled office/library with a private patio. A private elevator provides convenient access to the upper-level primary retreat, which opens to an expansive wraparound covered terrace with views of Lake Austin, Mount Bonnell and the surrounding Hill Country. The primary suite also includes dual walk-in closets, a spacious bath and private sitting area. An additional upstairs flex room with built-ins provides options for a studio, media room, fitness space or guest retreat. Designed for low-maintenance living, the property does not have a conventional backyard. Instead, outdoor living is centered around private patios and the elevated covered terrace—ideal for buyers who would rather enjoy the views than spend weekends maintaining a yard. Cat Mountain Villas amenities include a community pool, tennis courts, clubhouse and playscape. The home has been well cared for and offers an opportunity for thoughtful cosmetic updating and personalization. The price reflects that opportunity, and virtually staged images illustrate the potential of these distinctive spaces. For buyers who value location, architectural character, views and low-maintenance living—and would prefer to make their own design choices rather than pay a premium for someone else's—4508 Knap Hollow is well worth considering. For a buyer who sees the potential here, the seller is prepared to have a meaningful conversation.
