Eastside Spanish Revival

The iconic new Eastside Spanish Revival Residence emerges behind layered greenery and private gates in the heart of 78702—a design statement by MakingModernHome that feels both timeless and deeply connected to its surroundings. From the street, the home immediately distinguishes itself through an impressive full-stucco exterior, a composite Spanish clay tile roof, custom mahogany entry door, arched detailing, and warm natural textures that hint at the craftsmanship and atmosphere waiting inside.

From the moment you enter, the home reveals itself as a private retreat from the energy of East Austin. Walls of glass open to the courtyard pool, creating a constant dialogue between indoors and out. Expansive entertaining spaces flow effortlessly from kitchen to living to outdoor lounge areas, while the pool becomes the visual and emotional center of the home—bringing light, calm, and a resort-like atmosphere into everyday life. The garage itself was designed to extend the experience, opening directly to the backyard to function as a covered cabana space.

Hand-wrought details, artisan textures, layered skylights, arched windows, artisan metalwork, rich Saltillo tile, and custom millwork create interiors that feel collected over time. Soaring ceilings and warm material palettes give the home both scale and intimacy.

The kitchen is a true centerpiece—anchored by an 11-foot leathered Tahiti marble island, quarter-sawn white oak cabinetry, handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tile, a 36-inch dual-fuel range, beverage bar, and dramatic proportions that invite both daily living and elegant entertaining.

If the kitchen is the heart of the home, the stair hall is its lungs—a breathtaking architectural volume where layered skylights pull sunlight deep into the residence throughout the day. Wrapped in warm hickory flooring, sculptural lighting, and dramatic Brazilian Demetra quartzite, the transition between floors becomes one of the home’s defining moments.

Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite feels bright, serene, and quietly luxurious, with a generous walk-in closet and a sophisticated bath layered in tactile materials and soft natural light. Each bathroom throughout the home offers a completely distinct experience—thoughtfully composed with its own personality, palette, and atmosphere.

An impressive example of premium infill development, the property also features power-gated parking, garage parking, pedestrian access from Chote Avenue, integrated wellness upgrades, high-performance construction systems, and a level of architectural intentionality rarely found in new construction.

Positioned in Govalle—one of East Austin’s most creative and evolving neighborhoods—the home offers immediate access to local restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, the Walnut Creek Trail, and downtown while preserving an unmistakable sense of privacy and retreat.

This is not simply a new build. It is an architectural residence designed to impress yet invite, inspire yet restore—crafted for modern living while rooted in permanence, materiality, and timeless design. Complete 2026.
