Pecan
Chase, 4704. In Spanish Oaks (low dowpayment owner financing
possible)
It was bound to happen in this economy. Was $2,000,000,
now $1,449,000
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. Special, low downpayment financing
is now possible.

(sold)

square feet. Click on the link above to real all about

Architect's freestanding condo in Tarrytown. Was $545k,
now $449,400 (Area 1B)

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

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 (just
closed)

residence sits on 1.28 acres. The sale also includes a
party-sized dock with two slips, jet ski ramp and fishing

concern here--there is protected parkland that sits across
from this property.

Branch, 4701 (SOLD)

(Area LS)

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.
