The Alterstudio designed home is a substantial renovation and expansion of a 1927 bungalow paired with a new sculptural structure clad in black-stained cypress, connected via a glass entry bridge. This 2,250 sq ft home is split into two zones; one for living and socializing, and the other for relaxing and sleeping – and by entering in the middle, both sides appear in dialogue with each other. Elements from the original bungalow were reclaimed and used throughout the home. The outdoor space includes a beautiful large table with seating for 10, an additional lounge area, and a heated pool protected by a lockable gate. The patio area is accented with Austin touches like edison lights hung from the trees and local plants. The front yard has a net swing hanging from a gorgeous live oak. NOTE: Pool heating is available during the months of October - April and requires an additional fee. Please read section "Other things to note" for heating fees. Kid and adult friendly entertainment options include board games, toys, kid micro scooters, 3 smart TVs, Sonos and an Xbox. Also, please review the LONG-TERM STAY - ADDITIONAL FEES section below.
