1905 Garden St Unit B, Austin, TX 78702

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 their personal primary residence, the casita was inspired by family trips to west Texas, Mexico, and Barcelona. Special materials, an uplifting color palette & hand-crafted 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 & provides 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 paring & storage possibilities or is an opportunity to further develop the property (buyer to verify with City of Austin zoning.) Centered in the heart of the east side, the casita is only a few minutes to Ladybird Hike & Bike as well as many of the best bars & restaurants that Austin has to offer. *** PLEASE ACCESS B UNIT VIA ALLEY ONLY ***
