Point Cove, 2404 (available). Arresting
architecture
In the Lakeway Area. $425,000 (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. Youll wonder how
this house can be sold for the friendly price of only
$425,000. Click the link above to see the large photographs,
map, site plan and floorplan.
Jefferson,
2620 Unit B (available). A new freestanding
condo
In Central Austins Pemberton. $439,900 (Area
1B)
Do
you know where Pemberton is? Its in the sweet
spot of Austins charm district (Mopac at
Westover).
This is a freestanding condo that has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths
and a 2-car garage. Like everything in Pemberton, it does
get some road noise (on the outside, nothing on the
interior). If you can accept that, get to this last
available home (all others have sold).
Designed by architect Tim McIntyre it is just as dramatic
inside as the exterior photo suggests. There are concrete
and wood floors plus a first floor guest bedroom and
bath--helpful if you have visiting seniors who cannot
contend with stairs. Click the link above to see many photos
plus a floorplan and map.
Malibu
Cove, 7105
(available).
A
new, 1-story
listing.

RN)

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

has about 4,500 square feet, pool, tile roof and 3-car
garage. It is located in Greenshores--site of the
Parade-of-Homes in 2005. 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

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 (contract pending)
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.
Spearpoint
Cove, 105 (available)
Georgetown, TX. $1,550,000. (Area GT)
The
price was almost $2-million dollars--now $1,555,000. This is
one of the homes in the 2007 Parade-of-Homes. Listed by Stan
Barron Properties, the address 105 Spearpoint Cove. It is a
modern day take on Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style with
an emphasis on clean lines and natural materials.
It has four bedrooms, five-and-a-half bath and about 5,400
square feet. The home won the award for "Best Outdoor Living
Area", and you will see why if you visit the property--there

Spearpoint
Cove, 107 (available)
Georgetown, TX. $1,650,000. (Area GT)
With
a price drop from $2.2-million dollars, the home is now

homes from the 2007 Parade-of-Homes. It won the awards for
"Grand Prize Best of Show" and "Best Architecture". The
address 107 Spearpoint Cove. If you have driven through the
hills in the Italian countryside you were likely mesmerized,
at some point, when you discovered an old villa that takes
in overnight guests. Everything here is built on that kind
of larger scale. It is also historically accurate right down
to the detailed stonework which is called "rubble" style.
With about 5,600 square feet, the residence was specifically
designed for entertaining with bigger windows, taller
ceilings and grand spaces. It includes three refrigerators
plus an outdoor kitchen and casita.
Texas
Wildlife Trail, 4020
(Available)
West Austin. $949,000. (Area W)
This
is arguably the best house in Austin for the $949,000 price.
For starters, the home is on a dream of a lot--a one acre,
tree covered site. It is completely private in back and has
a wet-weather creek. The owners have spent over $100k on the
back yard area alone--multiple terraces, grille and a
playground that is something to behold.
The interior includes a private first floor guest suite (and
bath). The master is also on the first floor. Wait until you
see the photos of this home (click link above), and read the
full story. If Hollywood needed an Austin house to film an
episode of "Monk", this one would fit the bill--it is that
spotless. The home has five bedrooms and about 5,200 square
feet.

Square, 3001

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, 7101 (SOLD)
Close-in NW Austin. Has pool and guest house. Listi

of this new home's appeal is due to the lot. It is extra
wide and positioned at the very end of a dead end
street.
It has 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and about 4,100 square feet.
Two of those four bedrooms are in the main house--the other
two are in the large, detached guest house.
Intentionally NOT Tuscan, the the timeless design on the
exterior unfolds with one stylish bit of architecture after
another. Even the garage is interesting--its side wall is
made of airplane hanger-style copper doors that slide open
to reveal an attached shade porch--perfect for an open air
studio or play space.
