About this home

The Casita. Living small is the way! The tour: A private steel-reinforced, locked gate leads to a crushed granite path overhung by soaring heritage pecan trees. As you round the corner, the Casita entry offers a shady porch with wrap-around steps, copper gutter, oversized rain chain and bowl, and a crushed granite apron suitable for grilling and dining or raised garden beds. The petite lawn, lined with nine irrigated rocket juniper trees leads to a permeable concrete patio housing a temperature-controlled, professionally-maintained Cowboy Pool, shaded by a canvas sail and the spreading canopy of a heritage pecan tree recently trimmed and cabled to insure it’s safety and health for years to come. A heavy wooden door with new, aged brass hardware leads into the Casita galley kitchen painted Farrow + Ball Yearbridge Green and featuring a Smeg fridge, Café microwave, Prestige range, Ilian knife rack, Pooky lighting, Hawkins New York hardware, concrete counter and deep stainless steel sink. The bright Casita bathroom is finished with an All Modern vanity with Kohler hardware, lacquered West Elm medicine cabinet, steel barn light, white tiled tub, oak hooks, and custom lofted towel storage bins. The main Satillo-tiled living area is sized to house a queen fold-out couch and features a new ceiling fan, Tala pendant light and laundry nook with stacked Electrolux washer and dryer. Open re-finished wood stairs are lighted by a giant Pooky star pendant light and lead to a loft floored with Hudson + Vine vinyl floor mats and featuring a barn red gable wall. The Casita offers simple living in the coolest of Austin neighborhoods. Walk to La Barbecue, Austin Oyster Co., The Pershing Café, Sweet Chive, Bufalina, La Holly, and even UPS and HEB! Best of all, the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail is just blocks away.
