Austin’s design scene loves a good surprise, and a new listing in Northwest Hills is delivering one of the most polished, personality-filled homes to hit the market this year.
Priced at $1,890,000, the property at 6203 Ledge Mountain Drive arrives with a fully realized design identity from sought-after local designer Claire Brody — right down to the furniture.
Rather than a renovation, this is a complete reimagining. Every surface, finish, and detail has been touched by Brody’s layered, textural approach. And in a city where turnkey designer homes are scarce (much less ones sold fully furnished), this one stands out immediately.
It’s bold but calm, thoughtful yet live-in ready, and packed with the Spanish-inspired warmth that defines Brody’s aesthetic.
A Spanish-style home in Austin’s coveted Northwest Hills
Even better? It sits in Northwest Hills, one of Austin’s most established and architectural neighborhoods — larger lots, mature trees, and real design character — but still just ten minutes from downtown and The Domain.
For buyers who prioritize privacy, style, and location, this one checks every box that rarely aligns at once.

Fully furnished with carefully selected pieces
The home is being sold fully furnished with pieces selected by Claire Brody herself. It’s the rare chance to purchase a cohesive design vision without having to lift a finger — or wait months for materials and furnishings.
Spanish-inspired interiors reimagined with layered texture
Brody’s signature aesthetic — subtle drama, intentional restraint, and expert layering — runs through every room. The palette leans warm and earthy, with nods to Spanish architecture that never veer literal.
Arches, plaster-like textures, and rich materials tie the spaces together, creating a quiet cohesion that feels elevated without being fussy.
Contrasting living spaces create balance and flexibility
The home features two distinct living areas on the main level, each offering its own personality. Together, they create a flow that works for everyday life and larger gatherings alike.
One is bright and open, with French doors that lead to the tiled patio and private lawn
One of the living rooms is bright and airy, shaped by generous natural light and a set of French doors that open to the patio and lawn.
The other is warm and moody, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves
The second living space leans dark and moody, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by built-in bookshelves that make the space feel intimate.
A kitchen designed with real function and long-term use in mind
The kitchen is one of the home’s strongest statements, not because it’s flashy but because it’s deeply considered. Marble countertops set the tone with honest materiality, while a dual-fuel range and pot filler support serious cooking.
Featuring custom cabinetry, a breakfast nook with a view, and a hidden pantry
Custom cabinetry gives the room presence without overwhelming it, and a hidden pantry allows the more functional side of kitchen life to disappear entirely.
Brody clearly designed the space for someone who cooks, not for someone staging a photoshoot (though clearly one doesn’t exclude the other in this stylish space).
The primary suite channels boutique-hotel calm with hill-country views
Upstairs, the primary suite carries the same sense of layered restraint found throughout the rest of the home. The room feels quietly elevated, shaped by soft light and framed views of the hills. A private balcony sits just off the bedroom, turning the suite into a personal escape.
The bathroom continues the tone with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a materials palette that aligns with the home’s Spanish-inspired mood.
A bonus room adds flexibility on the upper level
The upper level also includes a flexible bonus room. Its placement allows it to function comfortably as a guest suite, office, or nursery, depending on the needs of the next owner.
The room reads as part of the home’s design language rather than an afterthought, continuing the textures and tones of the main living areas.
Outdoor spaces extend the home’s design story
The connection to the outdoors is an important part of the property’s appeal. French doors open to a tiled patio that gives the backyard a grounded, architectural feel.
With mature landscaping, hills in full view
The space extends outward to a private lawn surrounded by mature landscaping, with enough separation from neighboring homes to create a sense of retreat.
Given the hillside location and lot size — more than a third of an acre — the outdoor areas feel generous without demanding extensive upkeep.
A home defined by consistency, calm, and rare follow-through
What ultimately makes this home stand out is its follow-through. Design concepts often get diluted during renovations, but here, the vision remains intact from the entryway to the upstairs landing.
Brody’s fingerprints appear in every hinge, finish, color choice, and furniture placement. The result is a home that feels complete, both stylistically and functionally. It’s a rare example of a designer-led project that doesn’t compromise on cohesion, and even rarer still to see it offered fully furnished at this level.
