This east side property captures the best of Austin's unique and magical ambiance. Located in the historic Chestnut neighborhood, this East Austin oasis offers a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This stylish blend of design-meets-nature was created by local architecture firm KRDB and has been featured in Dwell and Houzz. The main home of 1403 square feet has two bedrooms and two baths, and offers gorgeous contemporary elements, with concrete floors, cinder block walls, metal roof, and unique accent windows that allow natural light to stream in all day long. Among the many fabulous features of the main home is a sliding glass door that creates an indoor-outdoor living space and leads to an outdoor fireplace. Speaking of outdoors, there are over 1200 square feet of outdoor covered patio spaces, plus other outdoor features like a garden dining table, oversized planters, croquet pitch, and vegetable garden, all under a canopy of trees and accented with thoughtful landscaping. Crushed gravel means easy upkeep and the property offers plenty of space for a Cowboy Pool to complete this magical retreat. A spiral staircase outside leads to a 320-square-foot additional dwelling unit, with 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, kitchenette, and private deck. The gorgeous features include wood floors, custom bathroom doors, vaulted ceilings, and a solar-powered HVAC! Upper level is perfect for multi-generational living, visiting family and friends, or rental unit that is accessed directly from the alley.
