Designed by the maverick architectural firm Baldridge, this single-family home plus guest house lies between Zilker, Downtown, and South Congress. Rare for Central Austin, the home has a two-car garage, 1bed/1bath garage apartment, and a heated pool. Any host’s dream, this space is perfect for entertaining — the kitchen’s large, quartz island is suited for trays of hor’dourves as your guests lounge in the pool. With top-of-the-line appliances, the kitchen would excite any home cook, with stellar storage and plenty of space for guests to socialize and appreciate the view of the courtyard through the open scenic windows.

Past the gas fireplace and exposed brick is a separate space for epic movie nights, or quiet nights in, overlooking the elegant backyard. The lofted skylight in the master shower creates a near profound experience, a feeling of connection and elevation, before you even start your day. The mornings bring serenity and ease, with the master bedroom’s large glass windows displaying the exterior zen garden in all its tranquility.

Extensive, built-in cabinetry throughout the home provides ample storage for even the most organized individuals along with an auxiliary cabinet making the home tech-savvy and up to date. The 624 sq ft guest house has a complete kitchen, living room, and multiple balconies. It occupies a separate structure from the main house, making it ideal for overnight guests or tenants.
