Artist’s Home in SW Austin!

This is one of the most artistically designed homes I’ve seen.  And like most artists – it has a few quirks!  But, upon driving up to the home, you know you are entering a magnificent estate.  Even the wrought iron fencing has an artistic touch which is hard to describe but enjoyable to view.  The home sits on a 2.5 acre lot full of beautiful trees – very private and serene.  The backyard is just as glorious with a beautifully designed pool and hot tub.  Inside the home you’ll find one-of-a-kind light fixtures and unusual features all around, from the rock garden, to the curved wall around the fireplace, to the huge mirror in the master bath.  If you are looking for a retreat from the busy, busy world, this may be it!  The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is priced at $574,900.  See more – or call to set up a viewing.  Vikki Goodwin, Realtor, Homes ATX, 512-426-9090.



Older homes with Character!

What do homes built in the 1970’s often have in common?   Small rooms, low ceilings, limited closet space and popcorn ceilings!  So, how do you transform a home built in the 70’s to appeal to buyers who like homes built now?  You change all the negatives as has been done in a couple of homes in the Onion Creek neighborhood in South Austin.  This reasonably priced home, listed for $275K, has a beautifully updated gourmet kitchen with granite counters, travertine flooring and a wine refrigerator.  The master bedroom has its own fireplace and sitting area.  Another one has also been renovated into quite an exquisite home on the golf course.  There are currently 21 homes for sale in Onion Creek, ranging from $250K to $650K.  Call for more information about the neighborhood or homes, or to see any of these homes in Onion Creek.  Vikki Goodwin, Realtor, Homes ATX, 512-426-9090.

Talk about exceptional outdoor living – and indoor, too!  This home makes you say “wow” all the way through.  The kitchen is beautiful, the ceilings are high and the living area is large and open.  This seems like the place to entertain!  The master bedroom is spacious and the master bath has great details.  The view of the hill country is awesome and can be seen from the master bedroom as well as the outdoor living area.  The pool is small but beautiful and adds to the charm of the outdoor area.  There is a built in grill and large covered patio.  This one is certainly a must see!  Call for further information, Vikki Goodwin, Realtor, Homes ATX, 512-426-9090.



Exceptional Lake View – Lake Travis Home – $700K

With so much new construction in the Lake Travis area, it’s hard to keep up with all the great properties.  I was lucky to find this beautiful home in a private setting with really spectacular views of Lake Travis.  The home was built in 2002 and has 4 bedrooms, a gameroom, a gourmet kitchen – all tastefully designed and decorated.  Naturally there is a huge balcony perfect for sitting out and enjoying the view.  There is also a covered patio below that also takes advantage of the view.  On a .86 acre lot, there is room for a pool, or simply the privacy afforded by a larger lot.  The pictures of this home don’t quite do it justice – you really have to visit the home to understand it’s worth!  Interested in viewing?  Call me, Vikki Goodwin, Realtor, Homes ATX, 512-426-9090.
