Mount Bonnell mansion back on market with a big price drop

This contemporary home on Mount Bonnell, built in 1986, was on the market last year, asking about $70,000 more. Judging from the listing and the identical photos, it hasn’t changed a bit since then.

The three-story brick home was designed by Austin firm Matt Fajkus Architecture with an eye toward incorporating the feel of the surrounding landscape. Measuring 7,241 square feet, it has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as a 1,200-square-foot terrace with downtown and Lake Austin views.

Included in all that space are two dining rooms, an atrium, an office, a sauna, a gym, and a home theater, not to mention the large pool outdoors and the three-car garage. The open kitchen features a breakfast bar, center island, and counters topped with granite and marble. Other standout features of the light-filled interiors are white-oak European wood floors, custom Italian cabinets, an elevator, and high, vaulted ceilings. This time around, the home 3403 Mount Bonnell Road is listed by Eric Copper at KW-Austin Portfolio Real Estate.
