The Bonnell House | A Study in Scale, Steel, and Skyline

Set along a private stretch of coveted Bonnell Drive, this residence doesn’t ask for attention; it commands it. Spanning 5,600 square feet on .83 acres, the home is defined by its scale, materials, and connection to the storied Austin skyline.

Steel-framed doors and windows by Presidio frame downtown views throughout, bringing the city into focus while grounding the interiors in a distinctly modern edge. The layout is deliberate, offering two separate living areas and a dedicated office or secondary lounge with nearly 600 square feet of space and unobstructed skyline views.

The kitchen is built without compromise. A 60" Wolf range with double ovens, 48" Sub-Zero refrigeration, and dual islands creates a space designed for both everyday living and entertaining at scale. A full prep kitchen and walk-in pantry, complete with beverage refrigeration and ice maker, sit just behind, keeping the main space as functional as it is refined.

And then, tucked within the home, a space that shifts the entire tone. A dedicated bourbon lounge, anchored by a fireplace and custom bar, delivers an experience that rivals some of Austin’s most notable speakeasies. It’s moody, intimate, and designed to be lived in, whether for a quiet night or a full room.

The primary suite is positioned to take full advantage of the views, with a bath that leans into both scale and detail, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a fully built-out closet with its own washer and dryer.

Outside, the property opens into a private setting rarely found this close to the city. Turf, a pool, and multiple outdoor living areas create a seamless extension of the home, offering both privacy and space.

Behind the scenes, every major system has been thoughtfully addressed, including a metal roof, three HVAC systems, tankless water heating, and integrated sound, security, and fire suppression.

Not built to blend in. A Bonnell address that delivers. And a home you won’t forget once you’ve seen it.
