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!

Texas Wildlife Trail,4020 (sold)
West Austin Relocation Seller. $849,000 (Area W)

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.

On north side of Lake Travis in Lago Vista. $1,650,000 (Area LN)

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.

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.

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.
