• Features: Any location in Austin that makes you a car-optional household is something, & this location does just that—you can be at ABIA or the private jetway for business or pleasure in just 10 minutes, Lady Bird Lake in 7 minutes, Downtown in 5 minutes. Want to go carless? You’re just 3 minutes to the light rail, & right off Austin’s city bike paths. Inside, the open floor plan is tiered, from a cozy kitchen to the great room, a mostly glass marvel with crafted architectural vantage points & 11-foot 6-inch ceilings. White oak ceiling accents & floors in the great room provide a visual anchor, while polished concrete in the dining & kitchen compliment the earthy oak with a little edgy crisp urbanism. In the kitchen, stained wood complements concrete & stainless steel appliances while mosaic tile & open shelving provides a traditional touch. Modular cabinetry surrounds the stainless Viking double-door refrigerator with freezer drawer & accompanying microwave. Behind the kitchen, a back entry near the open parking space opens to a large mudroom with laundry & additional storage, as well as a perfectly private powder room. Arrive upstairs at a flexible space that serves as a buffer between the master & the two additional bedrooms. The master bedroom features a wrap-around, open bathroom which feels roomy yet still private. There’s an iconic two-story, stained wood accent wall that draws the eye up to peaked ceilings. A second stained accent wall sits on one side of a walk-through master closet, which faces a custom-fabricated metal bench built into the wall. On the other end of the upstairs sit the two additional bedrooms, built with flexibility in mind. Closet space divides part of the area, with both rooms leading into the full bath. Upstairs, modest custom picture windows open the walls at random, allowing for fantastic views of Austin, while towering light chimneys cut through the roof above give even more openness without sacrificing privacy. 2016 AIA Homes Tour architects Minguell-McQuary have done it again!

Urban sanctuary with glass box “floating” living, custom-crafted sculptural steel screen and landscaping for a lot that feels “the size of Austin.” Impeccable flow of interiors characterizes this highly personalized, luxurious central Austin space without compare.
