120k Gut to the Studs Remodel in Austin #austinproperties

This is one of my favorites! I took a home in a great neighborhood, that was untouched since it was built, and brought it up to its potential! My two must haves in re-designing homes is the ability to make a HUGE kitchen and a primary bath retreat. I’ll take space from anywhere I can get it to make those 2 areas really shine. My top 3 must haves: Floor to ceiling cabinetry with all drawers and pull out shelves please so that even in limited spaces, everything that you have in storage is accessible. A dedicated space in the kitchen for your taller appliances to be stored – like a Vitamix and a KitchenAid mixer, so you can use them easily. A shower big enough to have two showerheads. This one is a nonnegotiable! (Can you say party shower!) design consultation is something that I offer at no cost to my clients. If you were thinking of buying a home to remodel, I’m happy to come give you ideas. If you already have a home, but you would like some help, you can also hire me after the fact! If you’d like to bounce some ideas around, give me a call!

3 HOMES at 32 YEARS OLD? how? Is it smart?

3rd home purchase in 5 years - with no gifts no grants, no help from their families- Kari moved to Austin with no job and shared a room with her bestfriend- how did she go from that to owning her third home? In this full length interview, Brandon and Kari discuss their start, how they bought house number 1, turned it into a rental, then continued on to numbers 2 and 3. They discuss what it is like to be a landlord, and young landlords at that. How did they save enough for their down payments? How do they manage the risk of property ownership and management? How did they qualify for the loans? (Our interview was outside and we lost the sunlight! apologies for the light getting dim toward the end but it is worth the watch!) #realestateinvesting #realestateinvestor #landlord #rentalproperties #rentalproperty #realestateinvestingaustin #realestateinvestoraustin #rentalpropertyaustin

Urban Homestead in AUSTIN, TX- Walk to the Waldorf School! Most Rare Home for Sale!

Yes, a homestead/ family compound/ urban farm/ is finally here and ready for your buyers! Almost 3 acres, just outside the city limits. No deed restrictions, no city restrictions, no city taxes, no HOA. The main home was originally built as a 3/2, but the garage was converted to a huge laundry room plus two additional bedrooms, one has door to the outside, which would be great for an office or private entrance for guests- so currently the main home is 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus an enormous sunroom and primary closet addition, increasing the sq footage even more. The ADU is a 2 story, built recently with 2 bedrooms and a full bath. One of the bedrooms has adorable built in custom bunk beds! Also on the main floor of the ADU is an additional office room, with a private entrance and half bath. (The total bed/bath count in the ADU is 3/1.5) In addition, there is a secondary entrance to the property on Claxton Rd- it has a gate and leads to an RV parking spot complete with a full breaker panel and power for a tiny house or camper. When campers have been there before, water was run via hose from the main house to the RV spot. Here is a list of additional improvements on the home and property: In 2019 the entire HVAC was replaced with a TRANE system, inside and out. The metal duct work was retained but it has multiple full particulate deep cleanings. At the same time, a FULL HOUSE DEHUMIDIFIER was installed, with its own thermostat style control panel. The HVAC and water heater both have leak detection systems with auto shut off programming. A 4 stage water filtration system was installed that removes all water particulates including chlorine and chloramine. The 2019 water heater is high efficiency and blows cool air as it heats water, so leaving the closet door open will cool the laundry room. Electrical panel was replaced in 2019 with all new electrical work in the home. An additional panel was installed to run the second home and exterior power. There is a lifetime warranty on the windows which were installed in 2012. The guest bathroom, primary shower, all sinks and the dishwasher have all new plumbing from 2019. All doors are new, low VOC, solid. All paint is low VOC green rated. All sheetrock was replaced in 2019 and is mold resistant Georgia Pacific industrial grade with no paper backing, low VOC. Custom cabinetry was installed in 2019 in the kitchen, bathrooms and closets. The bathroom floors are Marmolium- a natural flooring renowned for durability, sustainability, high quality and innovative design. The rest of the home's floors are polished concrete, professionally polished with natural texture adding to it's beauty. .... and MORE!: 2 person infared sauna in the sunroom- 2017 Clearlight with new heaters Dogproof screens in the sunroom windows Quartz counters in the bathrooms and Silestone in the kitchen Full home gutters (they did fill a rain water collection system, and can be re-routed back to it) French drain on the side of the main home and around the ADU Stainless appliances in the kitchen (double ovens, cookstop stove, vent hood are all 2019 replaced) That doesn't even touch on the land!!! 1000 gallons of rainwater collection Mustang grapes throughout the property. Fruit trees are throughout the property, they took some hits during the storms but still bear fruit! Goat pen with a shelter and a separate milking pen Chicken coop with fenced chicken area Large playhouse with rock climbing, two slides and an official Barbara Butler playhouse. There are TWO natural cisterns that lead directly to the Edwards Aquifer. The septic system is entirely new as of 2018/2019. All this PLUS A 20X40 STORAGE BARN!!! Soon, a bridge will be built so that you can walk directly to the Waldorf School!! During its prime, there was an herb garden, orchard, chickens and goats, and multiple trails throughout the property. The owners haven't had the time to maintain the homestead, but it is ready for a new owner to come and live out their dreams of homesteading, 10 minutes to the city. ✅ Subscribe to The Channel Jennifer Martin- South By West Austin Real Estate for real answers in real estate, delivered with the honesty and responsiveness you deserve: https://www.youtube.com/@jenmartinrealtoratx ✅ Important Links To Follow: 👉 Home Value: https://ift.tt/JT3n7eP 👉 Book a Private 1 on 1 Call with ME to learn more: https://ift.tt/VqME6K1 ✅ Stay Connected With Me. 🏆 Ranked Platinum Top 500 Realtors in Austin year after year 🏆 Ranked Texas Monthly 5-Star Professional in Customer Service 🏆 Austin Board of Realtors Rookie of the Year Nominee 🏆 Austin Business Journal Top Realtors in Austin Nominee 🏆 Ranked Platinum Top 50 Realtors in Austin Nominee For Collaboration and Business inquiries, please use the contact information below: 📩 Email: jen@martinhomeland.com
