I’m not a huge fan of corrugated siding, though in this case I’m not mad at all (the “corten”rusty version is another story). I am a huge fan of the interiors here, especially the integrated pulls on all the cabinetry. Simple and effective.

Nothing modern about this but damn if that’s not a little slice of heaven. The beautiful views on a deep section of the Blanco River are what drew me in, but the artist studio (house?) and stone greenhouse are what sealed the deal. The main house is surprisingly honest and simple for 1985 construction as well.

High home prices can definitely be a shock, but more important than price is value. I’ve seen plenty of “luxury” homes with big box builder finishes. I’m happy to see that this listing has a lot of great features to back up the price, starting with a big house on a big lot.

Here’s a clever little ADU in South Austin. It takes advantage of a zoning loophole and a large lot to add a 300sf “casita” adjacent to the 1,100 sf ADU. The two are connected by a courtyard and make the whole thing much more livable than that standard sized ADU. It even has a huge back yard making it even closer to a single family home.
