The 1941 ranch house is a mix of modern and vintage touches located in Austin, Texas.
Located in North Central Austin, this 1950s bungalow is a step back in time. With newly refinished hardwood floors, updated kitchen, central air conditioning and heating and a great back yard. This is just the place for a student or small family.This one happens to be in my part of Austin, so I know it got a paint job a while back. It looks a lot better.
Being a parent is fraught with emotion - pride, joy, irritation, disgust - but for me, anyway, there's one that can be more overwhelming than the rest: terror. The thrill of "Oh, wow, she took her first steps" becomes the agony of "Oh, my god, I never realized how deadly the corner of that table is!" Then comes terror's quieter but just as brutal cousin, guilt: "How could I subject my kids to the dangers of mid-century modern furniture? WHAT KIND OF MONSTER AM I?" Don't even get me started on the nerve-jangling, gut-wrenching ordeal that is a trip to the playground.
Totally updated in the past 2 years including, but not limited to: electrical system, tank-less H2O heater, low flow commodes, kitchen, master bath & hall bath remodel, interior & exterior paint, fixtures, carpet & flooring, Low E Film on west-facing windows, COMPLETE plumbing overhaul.
Custom espresso-tinted brick herringbone floors, epoxy pebble floors and terrazzo in master bath. Silestone type counters in master/kitchen/hall bath.
Hall bath with soaking tub, Rhino casement window with view from tub, penny-round backsplash and Italian porcelain tub surround, Italian sconce fixtures, Kohler fixtures, custom made walnut floating vanity.
Manufactured in 1963 it's an absolutely stunning original mid-century piece. This gorgeous table holds a secret: the top smoothly slides to reveal a bar compartment. The boomerang shaped tray/bottle caddy is on gliders and is pulled up and locks perfectly in place.
