York heiress.

Buy-of-the-year
for close-in Westlake home on dream lot
(sold)
6628 Whitemarsh Valley Walk. Was $995k, now $750k (Area
8W)
What
you have here is stunning architecture AND a dream lot. Even
though the home is located close-in Westlake, it has the
"feel" of being swallowed by its natural setting.
The 5,000 sq. ft. masterpiece (designed by Luis Jauregui) is
hidden away on very private 1.4 slice of pristine hill
country terrain. On the market previously, the sellers have
just relisted the home at a new price sure to get attention.
The price has been cut by $245,000 from its original asking
price, and sparkling improvements have been made such as
repainting the exterior and adding high-end appliances.

stables. The barn includes a paddock, tack room, and the
horses have a view. Right about now, you should take a deep
breath, close your eyes and imagine you are sitting on this
terrace with a glass of wine. The sun is setting. A breeze
is stirring. Steaks are on the grill. Willie Nelson's "My

17707 (sold)
In Lago Vista off 1431. $999,000 (Area LS)
This

turnaround, this may be you last chance to snag a trophy
home at a tempting price. Located in the resort community
called The Hollows, the home has only had one owner. Sorry,
no short notice showings--you need an appointment with a
24-hour notice, but it is worth the effort. The materials,
lush setting and scale of the architecture makes this home
seem like a combination resort and vineyard. Click the link

do the updating, here is a chance to get into this cozy
neighborhood. This is an estate sale, and the home has not
been updated, but the price is good if you are looking for a
home to update. The modest size keeps the price reasonable,
and this is a beautiful corner lot with a side entry garage.

Texas
Wildlife Trail,4020
(sold)
West Austin Relocation Seller. $849,000 (Area W)
Why
is this price so low? A local executive just landed a dream
job in Silicon Valley, and he negotiated a guaranteed buyout
of his Austin home. Almost $1.1 million into it, the price
is only $835,000. The transaction is actually being handled
by the relocation company.
Located near the intersection of Bee Caves and Hwy. 71, the
home is flush with benefits. The one-acre lot is lush with
no houses immediately in back for added privacy. In back all
of the tress block the view, but there is a sweeping vista
upstairs. The spa-esque master is downstairs, and if you
need a first floor bedroom and bath for elder parents when
they visit, this floorplan has it. The kitchen includes a
walk-in pantry and a wine room. The transaction also
includes a $28,000 fort.
Highland
Lake Lp, 20615. Waterfront home on 12 acres
(sold)
On north side of Lake Travis in Lago Vista. $1,650,000
(Area LN)
Owned
by a Houston business tycoon, who even knew a
waterfront home like this even existed? It is on
approximately 12 acres of shoreline-hugging, breeze-hogging
acres of delicious scenery. The place will make you "feel"
like you are staying at a private resort, but it is just one
house--designed by a noted architect. There is a dock, fire
pit, playground area and pool. The home has over 4,500
square feet. Click the link to read a complete history of

Rivercrest,
3101 (Sold). Not-so-big home with boat
slip
Close-in West Austin. $899,000. The "rain forest"
house.
Your
head will spin when you discover where the house is located.
This may be the most picturesque little street in town.
There are only about forty houses on this narrow road which
runs along the shores of Lake Austin.
Built in 1995, the home was designed by a noted architect.
It includes three fireplaces, a pool and a boat slip
(located at the end of the street). Broadcasting no clue
from curbside view, what lies behind the home--the setting
that this home backs up to looks like something from you've
seen in nature magazines.
The lot goes back more than 300 feet, and the back section
dissolves into a mountainous hillside that will make you
think you're standing at the edge of a rain forest.
Amazing.
The house has three bedrooms, study and an artist's
studio.
Quail
Run Cv., 2308. Waterfront home
(sold)
On north side of Lake Travis in Lago Vista. $649,000
(Area LN)
What
makes this home interesting is the friendly price for what
you get. Located on the main body of the lake (deep water),
the house includes "hidden" living space under the main
structure. There is an elevator, oversized garage, and the
residence sits on 1.28 acres. The sale also includes a
party-sized dock with two slips, jet ski ramp and fishing
platform. There is another compelling attribute. With all of
the development on the lake, a home can often have a view of
a condo development on the opposing shoreline, but no such
concern here--there is protected parkland that sits across
from this property.
Yaupon
Dr.,6411 (sold)
In Great Hills off Loop 360. $399,000 (Area 1N)
Located
close-in NW Austin, there are two features about this
residence that you will absolutely love. The owners have
spent the last year updating the house with a calming,
Zen-like decor, and the house sits on top of a hill with
nothing in back but a fall-away vista of the beautiful Texas
hill country.
You will really appreciate this backdrop if you are tired of
looking at houses that have other houses looming over your
yard.
Brittlyns
Ct., 5728. On a dream lot
(sold)
Close-in NW Austin. In Riverplace. $475,000 (Area

hillside with a panoramic view, but what makes it so
compelling is the home also has a huge, level yard in back.

overlooks part of the 13,000 acres of a pristine ecosystem.
The recently-built four bedroom layout has about 3,100
square feet. Click on the link above to real all about
it.
Enfield,
2506-E (sold)
Architect's freestanding condo in Tarrytown. $449,000.
(Area 1B)
You
will perk up just knowing this is the personal residence of
an architect because this recently-built freestanding
townhome is a head-turner. The owners have no pets or
children which means you have not seen another home that
sparkles like this one.
Also compelling here is it has none of the missing key
ingredients you typically discover. For example, this one is
placed at the back right corner of the five-unit complex. It
is quiet, has no road noise and sits under big shade trees.
The layout has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and the master bedroom
is on the first floor. There is an attached double garage,
and in case a cute dog is a member of your family there is a
nice back yard here.

Stillmeadow,
38 (Sold)
In Lakeway's The Hills. $549,000. (Area LS)
What
sets this home apart from others in the area is it was built
on two lots. This allowed for a wide, free-flowing design.
It also enabled the inclusion of a garage men absolutely
love. It is a side entry garage positioned off the back left
corner of the house, and it is big enough to hold three
cars, a golf cart, and there is even more space left over
for a workshop area.
The home also includes a split bedroom design, a pool, and
the current owners spent almost $60,000 updating the
kitchen.
