General Information
A home of timeless charm, creative legacy, and modern sophistication—1500 Northwood is one of Pemberton Heights’ most special offerings. Thoughtfully reimagined by the renowned McWalters Collaborative, this residence blends the elegance of historic Austin architecture with contemporary livability, all while honoring its distinguished past as the former home of Mary Willis Walker, the award-winning mystery novelist. With its original brick facade, classic lines, and manicured landscaping, the home retains its historic character from the street. Step inside to discover a modern layout designed for effortless living and entertaining. Vaulted ceilings, curated finishes, and wide-open sightlines between the living, dining, and kitchen areas create a sense of scale and light while maintaining cozy, defined spaces. At the heart of the home, the U-shaped kitchen is a showpiece for gatherings. Designed with the entertainer in mind, it features expansive quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a functional layout that encourages movement and flow. Whether prepping cocktails, serving hors d'oeuvres, or hosting a sit-down dinner, this kitchen keeps the host in the action and guests engaged. The primary suite is quietly positioned at the rear of the home and features a spa-like bathroom, a luxurious walk-in shower, and a flexible office, nursery or dressing room. Each bedroom and bath has been thoughtfully designed for privacy and comfort. A detached guest quarters above the two-car garage offers even more versatility, with a screened porch, built-in office, and a covered flex space below—ideal for a studio, gym, or creative workspace. The grounds are a masterclass in outdoor design, with fenced garden rooms, serene sitting areas, and curated native landscaping that make the most of every inch of the lot. Located in Central Austin’s most iconic neighborhood, this is a rare chance to own a piece of literary and architectural history.
