906 W 18th St, Austin, TX 78701

Tucked behind lush greenery and a private street-facing wall in prestigious Judges Hill, this architect-designed sanctuary is a masterclass in quiet luxury and... refined modernism. Designed and hand-built by renowned architect and custom builder Blake Dollahite, who has been previously featured in Dwell magazine, this bespoke home offers a rare blend of architectural integrity, minimalist design, and serene seclusion—just minutes from downtown, yet worlds away from condo living. Conceived over four years, every detail of this residence was guided by a North Star vision: site-responsive design, clean lines, and timeless materials. The ground level dissolves into the surrounding landscape with floor to ceiling Fleetwood windows, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience, all framed by hand welded steel, allowing light to pour in. Inside, a palette of polished white oak, grain-matched custom cabinetry, and high-performance veneers elevate every touchpoint, paired with a Miele appliance package offering elite, yet subtle luxury touches. A secret primary suite speaks to the home’s thoughtful sense of discretion. A two car, conditioned garage is located off Pearl street in a private resident's alley and has ample space for storage. With two separate living areas and three secondary rooms upstairs, each room is designed to be functional, yet is architecturally stunning, creating an oasis in every part of the home. This is a residence for the design purist, the downtown dweller who values space, air, and light over square footage. For those seeking architectural excellence with absolute privacy, there is simply nothing else like it in Austin. Read More
