WOW: Contemporary Comfort in Swede Hill

1012 E 15th St — $849,000

Architect Chris Krager designed this WOW house with one thing in mind — comfort. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in East Austin is just a few blocks from Downtown and UT, but surrounded by quiet neighborhoods such as Swede Hill and Eastside. The home is organized around a central courtyard and rooms contain a large amount of natural light during the day, adding to the nature-centric design. Furthermore the home contains several patios shaded by a live heritage oak tree. But the emphasis of mixing indoor and outdoor qualities does not interfere with the level of luxury residents can expect from this WOW house. Especially not in the master bedroom complete with a private deck, large walk-in closet, and spa-like bathroom with Carrera marble counters.
