Amazing
weekend houses
45-minutes from Austin--small size keeps price
reasonable
You
are looking at something that has never been done--building
small, but very upscale getaway homes. At one time or
another every person has looked for a reasonably priced,
easy-to-get-to retreat. There is ALWAYS a "catch." If you
actually find something small the quality is so bad you'd be
embarrassed to invite friends to stay with you. Oh, there
are some impressive places available in the hill country,
but most of them are ranches only an oil tycoon could
afford. Finally, someone has actually built an experimental
house that is small, affordable, and wait until you see this
architectural marvel sitting right off the Blanco River.
Brittlyns
Ct., 5728. On a dream lot
(available)
Close-in NW Austin. In Riverplace. $475,000 (Area
RN)
It
is unlikely you have ever seen this. The home sits on a
hillside with a panoramic view, but what makes it so
compelling is the home also has a huge, level yard in back.
The view is protected. Live here, and your back yard
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.
Highland
Lake Lp, 20615. Waterfront home on 12 acres (contract
pending)
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
the owner, and the house.
McCall,
2413 (contract pending)
In Central Austin’s Tarrytown. $399,000. (Area
1B)
The
home’s small size is what makes the price so friendly.
The home has two bedrooms, two living areas and some
enticing extras. It includes a lap pool, and a huge, private
back yard.
If you yearn for the charm the area is known for, you will
appreciate all of the hardwood floors.
Navigation
Ln., 17707
(available)
Same architect as Tom Hanks. $1,299,000 (Area LN)
What
a delicious design--same architect here as the one used by
Tom Hanks and Tommy Lee Jones.
The home is being sold below cost. This hilltop home was one
of the 2001 Parade-of-Homes. The home oozes Feng-Shui and
includes stunning trellis-covered pool and courtyard areas
plus an herb garden and outdoor kitchen with cantina-styled
bar.
Quail
Run Cv., 2308. Waterfront home (contract
pending)
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.
St.
Elmo, 411 # 40 (contract
pending).
Close-in South Austin. $214,000 (Area 10N)
This
gated neighborhood (called Brookside Villas) will you see
how close to town (and how reasonable this price is).
Located just off of South First Street, this freestanding, 3
bedroom, 2.5 bath condo also includes a 2-car garage.
Occupied by the original owners, this home received many
upgrades during construction. To see, you must call for a
gate code.
W.
10th Street, 2109 (Just
sold).
Central Austin. $599,900 (Area 1B)
The
price has gone from $799,000 to $599,000. An architect has
done extensive remodeling to this classic central Austin
home. She replaced plumbing, framing, wiring, sheetrock,
etc., and she added to the home's size. It now has five
bedrooms, three levels and about 2,789 sq. ft. (per

Eagle
Point Cove, 2404 (Sold). Arresting
architecture.
In the Lakeway Area. $399,900 (Area LS)
A
local builder is creating a stir with this new design
concept--small houses with world-class architecture for the
price of an "ordinary" house.
Just-listed, this is the latest of these very striking
designs. Laid out as a series of "nested" spaces connected
by ribbon walls of glass, this delicious three bedroom home
has about 2,320 sq. ft. You'll wonder how this house can be
sold for the friendly price of only $399,900. Click the link
above to see the large photographs, map, site plan and
floorplan. If you like the home, the builder owns the home
free and clear, so it is possible to offer owner
financing.
Malaquita
Branch, 4701 (SOLD)
Far West Austin. In Spanish Oaks. List price. $1,200,000
(Area LS)
Sold.
The home was designed to resemble and old European house in
the countryside. Located on corner lot with a hillside view,
the floor plan has beneficial design features. For example,
the fifth bedroom is set up as a separate guest suite (has
its own front door). The third garage is not connected to
the main garage--it attaches to the master bedroom. In other
words, if you've had a hard day at the office you get out of
your car and enter into the master suite--nice if you need a
moment to decompress before you step into family activities.
The first floor master also has a small meditation room that
serves up a serene hill country view--an ideal spot for
yoga, meditation or reading.
Malibu
Cove, 7105 (just
sold).
A
new, 1-story
listing.
Close-in NW Austin. Was $1,400,000, now, $899,999 (Area
RN)
The
price was almost $1.4 million dollars--now $899,000 (but
there are several conditions--call for details). It is new
home that has an intriguing design concept of an "interior
guest house". It is a big, one-story home in a private
setting on a large culdesac lot. There is exceptional
privacy here because of the greenbelt area in back, and in
front of this home. This free-flowing design has about 4,500
square feet, pool, tile roof and 3-car garage. Live here,
and you also get lake access via the homeowner park that
includes a day dock, boat launch and waterfront playground.
If you are searching for a home that is not like everyone
else's, get in your car and get to this home right away.
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.
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.
