A Modern Architectural Retreat in the Heart of Pemberton Heights

Welcome to The Arbor House—a rare architectural masterpiece in one of Austin’s most prestigious neighborhoods, Pemberton Heights. Positioned directly along Shoal Creek with private access to Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Trail, this one-of-a-kind residence offers the perfect balance of natural serenity and urban convenience—just minutes from downtown Austin, yet enveloped in a peaceful, tree-filled setting.

Designed by acclaimed architect Sam Burch, constructed by Risinger Build, and developed by Kalantari Group, this modern home is a showcase of intentional design and enduring quality. From the moment you arrive, the dual-sided Presidio glass entryway makes a dramatic impression—inviting you into an interior where sunlight, craftsmanship, and organic materials converge.

Inside, wide-plank white oak flooring, shiplapped walls, and soaring ceilings set a warm and refined tone throughout the open-concept layout. At the heart of the home is a stunning designer kitchen, featuring reclaimed white oak cabinetry, bold soapstone countertops, a 48" Bertazzoni range, and an adjacent wet bar wrapped in viola marble and brass. The adjoining butler’s pantry adds both charm and functionality with its classic grey-and-white checkered marble floor.

The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a spa-inspired marble bath, a soaking tub, a large walk-in closet, and a private balcony perched above the treetops. Upstairs, a light-filled flex space offers endless versatility—ideal as a lounge, playroom, studio, or gym.

Outside, a screened-in back porch opens to a beautifully terraced backyard shaded by majestic heritage oaks, with plenty of space to relax, play, or entertain. A fully permitted and ready-to-build pool plan is included, offering future owners the ability to customize their outdoor experience. The outdoor kitchen and private trail access make everyday living feel like a weekend escape.

With walkable proximity to downtown Austin, Clarksville, and the University of Texas—and located within Austin ISD with quick access to top private schools—The Arbor House is a timeless opportunity for those seeking thoughtful architecture, refined interiors, and an unmatched connection to nature.
