Here in the heart of Bouldin Creek, a short walk to the South First Street restaurants and boutiques that define this popular neighborhood, designer Lance Yeary has transformed this historic bungalow in a way that is both respectful of the past and prescient of the future. The pleasant front porch, low-key street presence and original window placement contextualize the home but belie the metamorphosis within. Walls have been removed to create an open floor plan, skylights bathe the interior with natural light, and new finishes bring the design into the new millennium. No expense has been spared on marble tile, granite countertops, wood floors, stainless appliances and European fixtures and fittings. Pairs of French doors open the home to the drought-tolerant landscape, and the large duplex lot provides room for future expansion. In addition to the refined aesthetic, the home is also quite energy efficient thanks to new, insulated single-lite windows, a tankless water heater, and expanded wall and attic insulation throughout. This unique home is truly the best of both worlds: old South Austin elegantly remade to exceed today’s standards. 3 BD, 2-1/2 BA, 1,563 SF, 7,725 SF Lot.
