Description
A modernist masterpiece surrounded by old-growth oaks & wrapped in timeless copper, this 3 bed/2.5 bath oasis on the banks of Bouldin Creek brings you home in South Austin’s most desirable neighborhood, a secluded two-story refuge from the speed of urban life but seconds away from the action when it counts. Bathed in natural light from automated skylights, Fleetwood glass pivot retractable doors in the living room & kitchen, & a private internal courtyard facing the creek, the home’s design from boutique modern architecture studio DIG: A arranges all the upsides of the outdoors for your pleasure — and none of the downsides, with a top-flight networked security system including 5 separate cameras. Inside this urban refuge, you’ll discover solid white oak herringbone hardwood floors throughout, with custom ash millwork & built-in cabinetry to match. The modern kitchen features a Bertazzoni convection oven, built-in Miele gas range with a retractable vent hood, & luxurious Carrera marble on the countertops, backsplash & waterfall-style island. Floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate the primary bedroom, with a walk-in double rain shower, high-tech Toto Washlet toilet & heated soaking tub providing maximum comfort to the primary bathroom — not to mention the bathroom sports a connected walk-in closet for ample storage needs. In keeping with its harmonious connections to the natural world outside, the residence prioritizes maximum energy efficiency—Owners have a HERS report handy. Its location, tucked away in the very heart of the Bouldin Creek neighborhood that made South Austin “weird” in the first place, puts you only a short walk from the shopping and entertainment districts along South Congress Avenue and South First Street, with an overwhelming list of iconic local restaurants and bars nearby including Bouldin Creek Cafe, Once Over, June's, and Neighborhood Sushi. This home, for all its natural privacy & modern comfort, is truly “Austin” to the bone.
