In the heart of 78745, Las Casas Verdes sets the bar high, and this home rises to meet it. From the curb, the Texas Modern Craftsman design strikes a balance of charm and innovation, with a welcoming front porch and a smart one-car carport with built-in storage. But what really makes this home stand out is what you don’t immediately see; the vented metal roof, high-quality Andersen windows, and sustainable construction choices that make the house as efficient as it is beautiful. Inside, light pours through soaring ceilings and wood-trimmed windows, giving the main living area a warm, natural glow. Every detail has been meticulously chosen: bamboo and tile floors, LED lighting, and an open flow that connects each space effortlessly. Silestone countertops, a Kohler sink, and Energy Star appliances are more than just upgrades in the kitchen; they’re part of a system designed to save resources without sacrificing style. The primary suite on the main floor offers wooded views and a sense of retreat, while upstairs, 2 bedrooms (one with a private balcony), a loft, and a built-in office nook make room for both productivity and downtime. Dual-zone HVAC and a thermal chimney with motorized windows keep the entire home comfortable year-round. Even water is thoughtfully managed with low-flow fixtures, a recirculating water heater, and rainwater collection. Together, these features help the home achieve a remarkable HERS rating of 19. Outside the covered back porch sets the stage for quiet mornings with coffee or evening wine with friends. The community itself is designed to connect people as much as it conserves resources. Grow fresh produce in the community garden, take a dip in the pool, or wander to nearby Longview Park and Stephenson Nature Preserve, where 40 acres of trails are waiting. This eco-friendly home offers a rare opportunity in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods, with shopping, dining, and downtown close at hand.
