Pecan
Chase, 4704. New listing in Spanish Oaks
(available)
It was bound to happen in this economy. Was $2,000,000,
now $1,499,000
A
builder owns this home. It sits in the most exclusive west
Austin neighborhood of all--Spanish Oaks. It has a litany of
jaw-dropping features. The 5,800 sq. ft. design includes the
concept of an "interior guest house". The patina and
surfaces of the materials give the home the personality of
an elegant lodge. But the show stopper is the ingenious
architecture camouflaged into the back section of the house.
All living areas wrap around a sprawling outdoor living room
(with hill country view) with summer kitchen, fireplace and
media wall, and here is the aha moment! The entire span of
the L-shaped family room wall is not a fixed in place. The
wall is actually a series of suspended large glass panels
that can be folded back thereby unifying indoor and outdoor
space as one contiguous living area! Click the link above to
read a complete history along with a map, site plan and
floorplan of the house.
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 spaesque 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.

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
the owner, and the house.
Brittlyns
Ct., 5728. On a dream lot
(sold)
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.
Enfield,
2506-E (contract
pending)
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.
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.
W.
10th Street, 2109
(sold).
Central Austin. $599,900 (Area 1B)

owner).

Cove, 7105 (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

guest house". It is a big, one-story home in a private
setting on a large culdesac lot. There is exceptional

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.
