Modern Design. Downtown Views. Beautiful Travis Heights Living. Perched above the street on a quiet hillside in the heart of Travis Heights, this residence blends bold design, privacy, and walkable urban living. Designed by Merzbau Design Collective and built by Melde Construction, the home offers skyline views, treetop serenity, and sustainability. The home unfolds with a sculptural staircase that leads you to a shaded terrace. Inside, a steel-framed staircase rises through all three levels, filtering light through expansive windows. White oak floors bring warmth, while a residential elevator adds ease. The middle floor features two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and a living area with a cozy fireplace and built-in entertainment system. A screened-in porch extends the space, blending indoors with nature. Outside, the peaceful backyard offers sun-drenched terraces and shady nooks across the sloping hillside, ideal for lounging by the pool, entertaining, or quiet mornings. A tucked-away corner awaits your zen garden, adding to the calm. At the top, the heart of the home is the kitchen, centered around a 13-foot quartz island with custom cabinetry and top-tier appliances. Multiple glass doors open to a covered dining area, offering stunning views of Lady Bird Lake and downtown Austin—vibrant by day, twinkling by night. The primary suite offers privacy, with canopy-level views and the pool reflecting outside your window—more like a boutique hideaway than a home minutes from downtown. Built for performance and sustainability, the home features a 2,500-gallon rainwater system, solar panels covering up to 80% of energy needs, a security system, smart home tech, and a built-in projector screen. The 420-square-foot garage can convert from one to two car spaces. Located moments from the energy of S Congress and the trails of Lady Bird Lake, yet completely immersed in nature, 813 Rutherford Place is a modern sanctuary in perfect sync with Austin’s rhythm.
