Lamplight Village home is a real treat for anyone looking for location and style! Modern, sleek, location and great value describe this fantastic north Austin home. Located just off MoPac and Parmer 12902 Irongate has so many conveniences and hot Austin spots near by it is sure to excite anyone looking in that area! Convenient to both I-35 and MoPac plus the toll road. Loads of shopping near by including an HEB, Fry’s and much more. Minutes from the Domain, Arboretum and Gateway Shopping centers.

The owners have really taken this 1970′s home and brought it into the modern century while retaining some of the classic vintage aspects of its time. Some of the updates include a metal roof, xeriscape landscaping and laminate wood flooring. But this is a pitiful description of what you really need to see in order to appreciate.

The landscaping features hardy heat tolerant plants that really add to the modern minimalist feel of the home. You’ll also notice some great touches like rock sculpture and yard art to give it that modern twist. Over the past year or so the owner has also improved the exterior by adding a more modern style wood privacy fence and updating the paint to a darker color for the shutters and garage door. When you drive down the block this home really stands out!

On the interior you’ll find features like artistic interior paint as portrayed in one of their favorite Rothco paintings. The deep reds, slates and yellows that really give the interior that pop it deserves. The entryway leads to a bright open living area with blond laminate wood, built in shelving, updated light fixtures and a stone fireplace. You then travel to the breakfast area and kitchen that overlook a large backyard. The backyard is just as big of a treat as the front yard with a built in sandbox, additional landscaping and open patio.

The master bed has a private bath, which like the secondary bath, really show off the vintage modern style! In May the home owners had carpet installed in the secondary bedrooms, stair case and upstairs living area.

Now lets get to the bonus of it all! The upstairs is complete with a secondary living area, office / bedroom and full bath. This is where you can really let your imagination go wild! This area can be a living area, game area, bedroom with a suite, guest quarters or hobby room. And that’s only a few possibilities!!

The homes for sale in north Austin have huge competition with this one and if you’re looking for value this is it! Why? Recently appraised it’s one of the larger homes at fantastic price? The larger homes in this area tend to be Scofield Farms and then you’re priced at $190K and higher!! See the value?!

We all have a dream list, and let’s be honest it often takes money and time for those dreams to come true. When buying your home it takes money, time and credit! I’ve seen buyers get ready to go only to find out their credit needs to be repaired in order to get a loan. They had no idea till the loan officer pulled their credit and broke the bad news to them.

But it’s YOUR credit and you have the power to monitor it to make sure it’s in tip top shape, and if its not you have the power to make it better. Some people are scared to look at their credit and tackle issues that may arise on it; it can be daunting but just think of the long term rewards you will reap.

So you’re allowed to pull your credit for free once a year, and by free I mean no dings to your credit for pulling it. But you really need to make sure you look at the three major credit reporting agencies when you do that. So in essence that’s three credit reports ONCE a year if you pull it all at once. Well that’s a bit counterproductive to your goal, right? You want to work on it all year long, clean up, repair, improve. Solution, get creative!

Here’s a tip that was recently shared with me. A three part plan to monitor your credit all year long.

• January, month one – start the plan and the year right! Pull your credit report from Transunion.
• April, four months later – it’s time to pull credit from Equifax.
• August, another four months down the road – let’s pull credit from Experian.

You’ve now pulled credit ONCE from three different reporting agencies, but you’re able to monitor it throughout the year. Another four months pass by and it’s January again. Every year you’ll be able to monitor your credit, work hard towards your financial goals and buy your new home!

Transunion – http://www.transunion.com/
Equifax – http://www.equifax.com/home/en_us
Experian – http://www.experian.com/

If you’d rather just pull your credit from all three bureaus at once, once a year go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp

Right in the midst of West Lake and Eanes ISD is a small private road with about 16 or 17 homes, all built a few years ago by Single Stone Homes. Single Stone Homes has a strong reputation in Austin having built some fantastic homes in the area. There are so many great features to this particular home and area, it’s a treat to market it.

Let’s talk about the biggest wow factor first, the view! The home rests within the west Austin hills, so it almost seems as if the hills are enveloping the house. The entire rear portion of the house looks out to fantastic panoramic hill country views! And because of the way the house is situated, it almost feels like you have your own private views. It doesn’t feel like you have neighbors on either side.

Now one really practical feature I like is the fact that it doesn’t have a steep driveway for one and two, the first level is the top floor. So unless you need to go downstairs to the extra bedrooms, you can do all your living on the first floor. The master bed and bath are on the first floor, along with the kitchen, living, utility, garage and office. Downstairs you have the other 3 bedrooms and baths, a bonus room and a game room / informal living area. In addition, downstairs is an extra room that is all cement, a tornado/storm room. This room can be utilized many ways, currently it’s a gym.

One of my other favorite features is the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with high end appliances. The double oven and raised burner stove is Wolf as well as the built in microwave. The built in fridge is a Jen-air sub zero. There are loads of built ins including a built in buffet cabinet. Granite counter tops and a deep under mount granite sink are just the tip of the iceberg in fantastic features.

Please call or email for availability and current pricing for this and other homes for sale in Austin.

This is a hot South Austin listing just off Manchaca near the South Lamar Central Market. The home has undergone some great improvements including carpet, paint, lighting fixtures and hardware. This is a popular area and given price and condition this has all the elements to sell fast.

The kitchen includes updated hardware, stainless steel fridge (approx year old), dishwasher and gas stove. There are nooks and cranny’s all over this kitchen giving it a bit of charm. The garage was enclosed but never finished out, as a result it makes for great storage or workshop or can easily be converted back into a garage.

In fact, I put the sign in the yard with coming soon and within a half hour we had already received a call on it. Before it went into the MLS we already had an offer! As exciting as that is – it hasn’t sold yet. But that proves my theory that it takes more than a great location in a buyer’s market. Price and condition of home really affect how fast and how strong offers will roll in.

Northwest District Park : 700 Ardath Street

At 12:30 events will kick off with a drum line followed by a performance by local favorite Ruby Jane. Ruby Jane is a fantastic fiddle player and never fails to impress her audience.

Other local musicians will also perform at the event. Bring your favorite park blanket and enjoy local fare such as Allandale favorites Amy’s Ice Cream, Phil’s Ice House and many others.

For those that aren’t familiar Allandale is a great central Austin community with a very eclectic vibe. The area was developed in the mid 50′s and 60′s giving the homes and businesses of this area the popular mid century look of that era. This is also an area known for the variety of second hand shops and vintage shops along Burnet Road.

There is so much to do in this area, its one of my personal favorites. Easy access to downtown Austin but it definitely has its own feel, separate from some of the other popular central Austin communities. If you would like to know more about Allandale let me know, I’d love to tell you all about it.
