Description

Escape the Ordinary: The Japanese Garden Home in Downtown Austin

Step into a one-of-a-kind retreat where art meets comfort. This handcrafted home is a sanctuary, blending modern luxury with natural elegance. The exterior showcases the timeless Japanese technique of shou sugi ban, which preserves wood through burning, while the interior features exquisite high-end woods and over 50 lush plants, creating a serene oasis.

Enjoy top-of-the-line amenities, including a chef's kitchen, an indoor cold plunge bath, a steam shower, and an outdoor Japanese wooden jacuzzi.

Nestled in the Holly district, just five blocks from Downtown Austin, this property offers the perfect blend of city energy and tranquil comfort.

With 2 cozy bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a dedicated office space, and an open-concept living area, the home seamlessly combines natural aesthetics with modern convenience. Relax in the eclectic front yard for a sense of community or retreat to the private backyard for solitude.

Primary Bedroom: This spacious bedroom offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Centered around a luxurious king-sized bed, it features two bedside lamps for soft, ambient lighting, along with a ceiling fan and overhead lights to keep the space airy and bright. The highlight is its direct access to the backyard, allowing you to step out and enjoy the fresh air or stargaze at night.

The primary bathroom features all you would expect like a double vanity, walk-in shower and separate tub. But it has been transformed by modern features so you can enjoy a steam shower or cold plunge in the tub (34 degrees).

Bedroom 2: This cozy bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed.

Office: Working from home? Perfect we have the office setup which includes a desk area as well as a sofa for those short naps or deep thinking sessions.

Guest Bathroom: The guest bathroom features a clay aesthetic, auto lighting and features a walk-in shower.

There are two different living room spaces offering Living Space:
Choose between the two living room spaces. The lounge area boasts a lounging L-sectional sofa, complemented by a wooden bench for extra seating. Shelves of books, a high-end AV system and TV give you the option for many levels of chill.

Living Room 2 is designed for socialization and opens up perfectly to the kitchen area.

 Dining Area: Our dining area features a beautiful long wooden table paired with six matching wooden chairs, creating a warm and inviting space for meals and gatherings.

In the backyard, you'll find a charming vintage retro red wooden fireplace and a large picnic bench perfect for chilly evenings filled with family bonding, laughter, and warmth.
