Set behind a canopy of heritage live oaks on one of Central Austin’s most coveted streets, The Lantern at 3802 Balcones Drive is a masterwork of architecture and design. Conceived by Jeffrey Dungan with interiors by M. Naeve, this estate reflects a level of craftsmanship and intentionality rarely seen in the Austin market. Spanning over 7,700 square feet on nearly an acre, the residence is defined by its seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Expansive steel-framed windows and doors invite natural light throughout, while curated materials including white oak flooring, hand-troweled plaster walls, honed marble surfaces, and a slate and copper roof create a timeless and sophisticated palette. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers six bedrooms, six bathrooms and two half baths, anchored by a main-level primary suite with private access to the grounds. Multiple living and entertaining spaces unfold effortlessly, from formal dining to a lower-level lounge with wet bar and custom millwork, designed to elevate both everyday living and large-scale gatherings. Outdoors, the estate is equally compelling. A gated entry opens to a brick-paved circular drive, while the expansive grounds are framed by mature trees and meticulously maintained landscaping, offering both privacy and presence. Located in the prestigious Balcones Park corridor of Austin, the property offers close proximity to downtown, Lake Austin, and the city’s most sought-after destinations, delivering a lifestyle defined by convenience, privacy, and enduring value.
