2702 Stratford Drive
Situated in a narrow strip of a neighborhood called Buffington Heights, which borders part of Rollingwood on the north and looks out over Lake Austin, this one-story, 2,413-square-foot house contains some unremarkable if high-end features and awkwardly staged guitars. But it's located on almost half an acre of land and has a large deck overlooking its lush hillside backyard. It has four bedrooms and two bathrooms and was recently reduced to $1.57 million.
