Located in the coveted, highly walkable Holly District neighborhood, the Garden St Casita is a one-of-a-kind architectural work by Pavonetti Architecture.
Designed by the architect as a personal primary residence, the casita was heavily inspired by family trips to west Texas, Mexico, and from their time living abroad in Barcelona. Special materials, an uplifting color palette & hand-crafted custom details offer a special living experience.
Smooth stucco, raw metals, concrete block, exposed concrete, rich Saltillo tile, warm timber flooring, weathered exterior wood, and corrugated metal roofing combine into a modern yet rustic aesthetic. Intentional use of heavy masonry material offers cool reprieve from the hot Texas sun, while the deeply shaded walls of glass provide great natural daylighting.
The home is split into two levels: the lower dedicated to the social spaces and the upper to the private spaces. The south facing stucco façade provides protection from sun & privacy from the street, while the unique stucco entry foyer brings you deep into the heart of the home. The kitchen, living & dining areas are well-connected and blend effortlessly with both the foyer & courtyard spaces. A custom built-in couch anchors the living space, and a striking spiral stair draws you up to the second level.
The second level has two large bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings and ample natural light. The primary offers a walk-in closet, two secondary closets, and a private roof terrace to enjoy the cool mornings under the large tree canopy above. With its rich material palette and soaking tub, the main bath offers a spa-like experience.
A rare two-car garage offers ample parking and storage possibilities. Additionally, this area offers a fantastic opportunity to further develop the property by converting the garage to conditioned space (buyer to verify with City of Austin zoning.)
Excellent location puts this home in the heart of it all. Just a few minutes to Ladybird Hike & Bike trail, around the corner from the Launderette, and a short walk to many of the best bars & restaurants that Austin has to offer. The Garden St. Casita lifestyle can’t be beat!
