Oaklane Social has the kind of South Austin presence that makes the house feel like part of the trip from the moment you arrive.
This 3,100-square-foot modern retreat is tucked into the heart of South Austin --- the kind of place that immediately makes you want to drop your bag, pour something cold, and figure out the rest later. Built in 2021 with design that means it, this five-bedroom, four-bath home was made for groups who want to actually be together --- not just occupy the same zip code.
The open-concept living and kitchen space sets the tone the moment you walk in. Polished concrete floors run beneath soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the backyard like a painting. Teal accent chairs, a sprawling sectional, warm wood details over the kitchen, and a patterned tile backsplash give the interior a collected, curated feel --- elevated without being untouchable. The kitchen island uses sushi-bar-style seating with regular table-height chairs, making it easy for the cook to stay in the conversation.
Step outside and the backyard delivers. A sleek rectangular pool anchors the space, surrounded by turf grass that stays green without the guilt. The firepit and outdoor seating area invite late nights and slow mornings alike, and a mounted outdoor TV means nobody has to miss the game to enjoy the fresh air. This is an outdoor living room as much as it is a backyard.
When it's time to retreat, all five bedrooms --- including four king bedrooms and one California king bedroom --- offer the kind of quiet, private comfort that makes a group trip actually work. The primary suite features a king bed and takes things further with a spa-inspired ensuite: floor-to-ceiling marble hex tile, matte black fixtures, a skylight rainfall shower, and a concrete soaking tub integrated seamlessly into the shower space. It's the kind of bathroom you photograph before you use it.
The 78704 zip code does a lot of the heavy lifting location-wise. South Congress Avenue is minutes away --- coffee at Jo's, tacos at Güero's, vintage finds and local boutiques stretching along one of Austin's most iconic strips. Rainey Street's bar scene is close enough for a rideshare night out, and Barton Springs Pool is nearby when the group needs a low-key afternoon in the water. You're in the middle of everything Austin does best, with a home worth coming back to at the end of it.

There are so many reasons to love Austin and its incredible barbecue is just one. The live music capital of the world, Austin has a thriving art scene and a party culture to match. Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks. Spend your days on the lake's crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to "keep Austin weird," which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.
