The One-of-a-Kind Modern Victorian in Zilker Park

18 February, 2025

In Austin’s Zilker Park neighborhood, this Modern Victorian home offers a unique fusion of historical architectural features and contemporary design. Spanning 4,000 square feet, the home includes five spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a flexible, open layout. Built by REVENT Builds, and designed by Joseph Design Build, the project reflects a vision of architectural harmony, where the elegance of the past meets the needs of modern living.

One of the defining features of the home is its striking double-height foyer that greets visitors with an immediate sense of grandeur. The Victorian influence is evident in the home’s intricate details, such as its decorative moldings and elegant archways, which have been carefully reinterpreted for today’s lifestyle. The design also takes full advantage of its surroundings, with large picture windows with classic grids from RAM Windows & Doors, providing ample natural light and views of the surrounding Hill Country landscape.

The integration of modern technology and design elements is another standout aspect of this home. A state-of-the-art kitchen features custom cabinetry and high-end appliances, perfect for both entertaining and everyday family life. Sustainable building materials have been thoughtfully incorporated throughout, making the home not only beautiful but environmentally conscious as well. The blend of these modern features with the home’s Victorian charm creates a balance that feels both timeless and progressive.

“I can honestly say this is the greatest work of my career and we have set the bar so high. This has truly been a labor of love and is a project I will always hold close to my heart.” -John Gioffre, Revent Builds
