1308 Meriden Lane , Austin, TX 78703
Tucked behind a private gate on a third of an acre in historic the West Enfield Neighborhood, 1308 Meriden Lane is a striking example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture blended with contemporary elements in one of Austin’s most iconic neighborhoods. With its LaHabra stucco exterior, clay tile roof by Claymex, and multiple landscaped courtyards, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath estate offers timeless design and resort-style living just minutes from downtown. A winding entry leads to the heart of the home—an artful J-shaped two-story residence connected by a showstopping glass bridge made of Portella steel. Nearly every room is designed with views and access to the outdoors, offering a seamless transition between indoor elegance and al fresco ease. A dramatic front courtyard invites lounging and dining beneath the gas lanterns, surrounded by two hand-carved Texas Walnut limestone fountains and lush, colorful landscaping.
Inside, the home reflects a thoughtful interplay of natural light, texture, and craftsmanship. Historic, reclaimed hand-hewn beams, antique and found lighting, and handcrafted details like the oversized carved stone fireplace and Wendel Brousard's custom primary bedroom door add depth and warmth to every space. The floors are layered with Old Growth Gunstock Walnut and Saltillo tile, with vibrant Mexican tile risers and caustic tile on the primary patio. Five dedicated living areas, including an upper-level lounge wrapped in hand painted wallpaper, offer flexibility for both retreat and entertaining. In the primary suite, a spa-like bathroom opens to an indoor/outdoor shower, while the cabana pool house features a custom bar and vintage church window over 100 years old, blending history with modern luxury.
Additional highlights include a rare glass-enclosed, backlit garage with room for 4–6 vehicles, an auto lift, and custom steel and wood detailing throughout—from the front door to the patio curtain rods and a subterranean shelter. A whole-house vacuum system runs through both the home and garage, and Thermador appliances, motorized shades, Farrow & Ball paint, and custom decorative windows elevate the finish-out. With its sun-soaked Ipe wood pool deck, hidden storage areas, Rondel-stained glass windows, and sophisticated yet inviting style, 1308 Meriden Lane is a masterclass in curated living, offering the best of Old Austin charm and modern refinement.
