Austin, TX 78752
Step into what feels like the pages of Dwell magazine—an artfully reimagined 1950s ranchette turned modern compound in the heart of Austin. Thoughtfully expanded and renovated by husband-and-wife architect-design team, this Highland gem effortlessly blends mid-century charm with minimalist design, high-end finishes, and a thoughtful, versatile floor plan. The light and airy main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a ground-floor primary suite, open kitchen/living/dining, and 2 guest bedrooms, plus a flex space upstairs. Enter into the playful foyer, with a high traffic “drop zone” and accented with apple green paint and Farrow and Ball wallpaper. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, marble tile backsplash, floating shelves, eat-in island, and an adjacent walk-in pantry. The spacious ground-floor primary suite overlooks the private backyard oasis through a massive picture window. Original solid white oak floors were carefully preserved, with new matching oak added through the addition. The star of this show is the vaulted living room with exposed beams and illuminated with Velux skylights, seamlessly opening up to the outdoor living space. Bathrooms feature Heath Ceramics tile & Kohler fixtures. Clever plywood storage throughout. The detached casita offers space for guests and a home office. Operating as the Highland Hideaway Airbnb, it generates approximately $30,000 of turnkey passive income annually, with guests praising its “adorable design” and “perfect location—minutes from everything yet peacefully quiet.” All major systems—plumbing, electrical, foundation, HVAC—were replaced during 2019 renovation. New roof installed in 2024. Casita was built in 2020. Additional upgrades include dual EV chargers, Nest thermostats, and keyless entry. Located in Austin’s Highland neighborhood, this home offers unmatched access to everything Austin—walkable to top-rated schools, coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants.
