4713 Via Media

Set high in the hills of Westlake, 4713 Via Media is an exquisite blend of architectural integrity and contemporary sophistication. Originally envisioned by esteemed architect Alan Taniguchi and thoughtfully reimagined and expanded in 2018 by Matt Fajkus Architecture, Risher Martin Fine Homes, and Michelle Tumlin Design, the residence captures the essence of modern Austin living—where panoramic Hill Country vistas, natural materials, and thoughtful design converge in perfect harmony. Every room opens gracefully to the outdoors, inviting light and landscape into daily life through walls of glass and a series of private decks and patios. Smooth white stucco, rich wood accents, and honed stone surfaces create a serene, enduring palette that complements the surrounding hills. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, appointed with custom walnut cabinetry, a waterfall-edge island, and Wolf appliances—designed for both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining. A detached studio extends the home’s architectural rhythm, offering flexible space for creative pursuits or guests. The courtyard, anchored by a shimmering pool and spa, is framed by covered patios and native landscape, creating a resort-like sanctuary just minutes from downtown Austin. Blending craftsmanship, warmth, and connection to its natural surroundings, this Westlake residence embodies the enduring beauty of refined Austin living.
