All this is achieved under a single standing seam metal roof — complete with private entrances & facilities.

From your paved off-street parking pad, step through flowering, aromatic Mexican plum trees to access this true unicorn of a property. The gated front yard with multiple gathering spaces set under canopies of majestic Magnolia trees welcome you to this 2 bed, 1 bath pier & beam home constructed in 1955. Gleaming hardwood floors set the stage in the wide, open living area. Playful checkered tile floors and custom tiled bar top pair well with modern gas appliances in this expanded kitchen with ample counter space. Original baby blue vintage tile bath, extra large storage closet and two comfortably sized bedrooms complete this charming main house. Just through the kitchen, discover a well-appointed recording studio that has seen countless artists from Austin & around the world.
