6709 Tulsa Cove

A Remodel Project – For Sale $225,000

This 1960′s era home is located in University Hills in East Austin. The owner is moving into a Senior Center and was faced with selling the home as it was for around $100,000 or remodeling the home and updating it to offer for sale for $225,000. Financing was arranged through Pride of Austin High Yield Fund to accomplish the goal.

The original home was 3 bedrooms (all upstairs) and 1 and 1/2 bathrooms upstairs. The downstairs was chopped up into small rooms that made the home feel small and not very inviting.

When the project is completed the home will have 4 bedrooms, 2 and 1/2 bathrooms, a utility room and one open living area downstairs. The kitchen is open and spacious with a breakfast counter. New electrical and plumbing has been added. The insulation has been brought up to current energy efficiency standards for the City of Austin.

The master suite will be downstairs and a powder bath has been added downstairs. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms, a utility room and one large bathroom.

The lot is a large lot on a cul-de-sac that is fenced all-around for privacy. The completed home is being marketed by Goldwasser Real Estate – David Schneider, Listing Agent.

716 Post Oak
For Sale $1,200,000

CLICK HERE for a virtual tour and to see two dimensional floor plans.

Offered for $1,200,000

This contemporary home is approximately 3452 SF and located near downtown Austin in the famed Bouldin Creek area. Just 2 blocks from the Palmer Event Center and the Long Center for the Performing Arts, 3 blocks to Lake Lady Bird and the hike and bike trails that flank the lake, less than a mile to the bustling Zilker Park, less than a mile to the famed SOCO entertainment district and barely 2 miles to downtown Austin. If you are looking for a quality home in the middle of the pulse of Austin then this is it!

The 3-story main house is approximately 3052SF. The ceiling height on the first floor is 10’, 9’ on the second floor and 8’ on the third floor. There is a detached 2-car garage with a studio apartment above of approximately 400 SF. The driveway is secured by a motor gate. When closed the home is fenced on all sides.

The main floor is open with an incredibly spacious gourmet kitchen, dining area, living area and powder bath. The kitchen has floor to 10’ ceiling cabinetry as well as a huge island. Thermador appliance package includes a gas range, dishwasher, oven and microwave. There is also a wine chiller and wine bar that makes the transition from the kitchen to the dining area. The dining room walls are a 3-color plaster with wall sconces and huge plate glass windows that look out onto the courtyard. There is a fireplace in the living area. From the living area there is access to the back deck.

The master suite, 2 secondary bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath room connecting them and utility closet are located on the second floor. The master bath has an air tub, a huge walk in shower with multiple shower heads and a double vanity. Slate, river rock and Travertine are elements used in the bathrooms. The vanities are floating. The walls of the master bath are of 2-color plaster.

The third floor has a full service kitchen with granite countertops, full bath and media or game room. From the third floor there is access to the third floor terrace with a gas grill. There are views of downtown Austin from the second and third floors of the home. What a great place to enjoy the fireworks displays the City performs on New Years and July 4th!

This home is built as a smart home. The 16.5 SEER / R410 refrigerant HVAC system is a dual staged compressor with a multiple speed fan and humidistat. It is wired for internet control module for remote access. Each floor is its own zone. The studio apartment has a high efficiency / R410 Mitsubishi cassette style mini split system that is flush to the ceiling.

The electrical system is wired with a Lutron system. Lutron is one of the most energy efficient systems available for residential properties. Every light bulb in the home can be dimmed to create any lighting ambiance desired. The entire electrical system is set up for remote access through the internet. Every light and outlet can be programmed to come on or turn off at ay time.

Environmental concerns and energy savings were given to the plumbing system too. This home has tank-less on-demand hot water heaters as well as duel flush toilets by Toto.

The insulation exceeds the requirements of code for the City. The exterior has a metal roof crowning a three layer application of stucco for even greater energy efficiency.

The home is wired for surround sound, home security, exterior speakers on the third floor terrace and exterior security cameras.

When the lot was purchased there was a huge, grand Pecan tree in the middle of the lot. The architect designed this home around the Pecan tree, which is a focal point of the courtyard. Sitting back away from the street most of the yard is the front yard, which is secure on all 4 sides by fencing. The utilities were brought in from the street underground to the home. The landscaping is designed to be drought tolerant and colorful using a lot of plant material that is native to the Austin area.

This is truly a masterpiece of a home for a smart buyer who is concerned about the environment and energy savings.
