Austin Home for Sale - Avenue D in Hyde Park

Went for a jog this morning and came across this little lovely ...

A fully renovated turn of the century cottage located on picturesque Avenue D in one of my favorite Austin neighborhoods, Hyde Park. It's 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 1764 square feet and listed for $589,000. It's also located in exemplary Lee school district.

Hmmmmm... clearly somebody has a knack for design...

Viking appliances and [what looks to me like] Carerra marble counters.

Original long leaf pine floors...

Spring Cleaning Inspiration

I am in midst spring cleaning and ridding my household of the clutter. I feel mostly alone in this effort... neither my children nor husband seem dedicated to cause.

Alas... some found inspiration from these lovely French filles blogging about their beautiful French lives and their impossibly chic (yet seemingly effortless) kids room decors ...

"Jojo's Room"

"les 4 rats"

Sigh. Takes me back to my Paris days.

Midcentury Modern Austin Home For Sale Video - Martini Anyone?

Home owner Kevin Pruett just sent me this great video about his Googie inspired midcentury Austin home located in Northwest Hills. If this doesn't make you want to break out the martini shaker at 10 AM on a Tuesday morning... I don't know what would.

"Casa Rosa" Cool East Austin Commerical Mixed Use Real Estate Opportunity

I am completely smitten by this listing I just found on the Austin MLS today.

"Casa Rosa" sits on bustling East Cesar Chavez, a few blocks east of Pleasant Valley, just a stone's throw from some of Austin's trendiest new eateries, bars, and galleries like Justine's on East 5th (where I waited 2 1/2 hours for a table the other night...sigh).
Built in 1925, Casa Rosa measures a mere 810 square feet and sits on a decent size .16 acre lot (good size for the area). It is already zone mixed use for commercial, retail, or office and is screaming for a visionary to come along and snap it up to make it the next East Austin hipster destination. The list price is $232,000 and it has been on the Austin real estate market for 1 day.
