Agent Description

Welcome to 1700 S 6th St., a thoughtfully curated modern farmhouse in one of Austin’s most beloved neighborhoods. Designed and built at the leading edge of the white siding movement, this one-of-a-kind residence stands apart with its authentic materials, architectural vision, and deep attention to detail. Featured in Houzz, Crate & Barrel, Loft Home, and Spectacular Women of Architecture, this home is as much a creative expression as it is a functional, family-ready retreat. Soaring steel-framed windows span the back of the home, drawing natural light and a lush treehouse ambiance into the main living areas and primary suite. In the kitchen, reclaimed open shelving crafted from Spaghetti Warehouse beams pay homage to old Austin, while Sub-Zero column refrigeration, a Wolf 48” dual-fuel range, and reverse osmosis drinking water elevate everyday living. Entertain with ease thanks to folding Durango doors that open the kitchen and living room to a shaded outdoor patio anchored by a live oak and surrounded by an edible garden—including Meyer lemon, olive, bay laurel, asparagus, and more—on a fully automated Rachio irrigation system. Inside, you’ll find white oak herringbone floors, a Rumford wood-burning fireplace with a Colorado River-recovered cypress mantle, and layered design elements throughout. The primary bath features a vintage European workbench-turned-vanity, a soaking tub, and a spa-style shower with three showerheads. The lower-level music studio includes a murphy bed for added flexibility, while a whole-home sound system, ADT security, and wired high-speed internet make the home smart and secure. Plans for a pool convey, along with a custom-built media cabinet and split HVAC systems in the garage and studio. This is more than a home—it’s a showcase of soul, sustainability, and sophisticated Austin living. Tax and assessed values are estimates for illustration purposes only.
