I have had a busy summer and many of my listings have sold. This creates a fun challenge of moving these items to new properties in a timely manner. I was lucky that Megan Gattis with Avenue One forwarded my email indicating this to another great agent, Susanne Lee, who has this amazing listing in the Heritage Neighborhood, also called Oakwood, in central Austin. It is featured in October 25th’s real estate section of the Statesman and you can read about it’s great features here:

We also did some streamlining in another amazing property in Westlake called Haven Hill Estate. Visiting and working in this home was a real experien ce. It’s like walking into your own private enclave with 3-story Spanish style home with elevator, detached game room, guest house, pool, jacuzzi and cabana. Linda Biderman with Wilson Goldrick is the listing agent. Check out the details and photos here:

I currently have several other listings with Linda in a great and up and coming neighborhood in South Austin considered South Terrace, just off Bluebonnet, west of Lamar. I didn’t know about this area until I staged three properties there for Linda and her green-building investors in early September. There are a lot of late mid-century homes here that are in well-preserved condition or are being updated with a slight modern edge - a really smart choice considering the architecture. It’s a really great little pocket with a ton of potential. I can’t see it becoming a big, over-built condo factory back there but a nicely updated area with tasteful growth and improvements. If this neighborhood has been off your radar, you should check it out!
