This South Congress contemporary is the quintessential Austin home. Embracing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of South Austin with an incredible backyard space, this mid-century modern multi-level is made for entertaining. Complete with a pool, casita, and sport court, the unique backyard with lush landscaping has it all. Reminiscent of LA, the striking succulent rock garden guides you to the front door. Warm hardwood floors greet you as you walk into the front room and continue throughout the main level. Light and airy, the main living space is surrounded by beautiful greenery and opens onto a deck wrapped around a majestic oak. The living area fluidly moves into the open concept kitchen and dining room, bringing the view of the backyard with it through wraparound windows. With a spacious breakfast bar island and an unexpected skylight, the kitchen has just as much character as the rest of the house. Rustic wooden stairs take you to the top floor where an aerie loft and rooftop deck await. Breezy and serene, the numerous skylights and gallery windows in the main level master create an outdoor feel while providing a warm and natural ambiance. Walk through the large dressing room area with built-in oak storage and vanity to arrive at the master bath. Created by an eclectic mix of concrete, tile, and oak, the master bath is the epitome of casual chic. Take a night time dip in the pool and return to the master via a private entrance to relax in the rain shower. Checkerboard custom wood floors carry the eccentric energy of the home into both secondary bedrooms. Appropriately located in desirable Travis Heights, this Austin home exudes modern cool.
