This once-modest Austin home, nestled in lush greenery near Barton Springs, underwent a full remodel and addition to become a bright, contemporary retreat designed for short-term rentals. Our client envisioned a space that would capture attention from the street, feel spacious and inviting inside, and flexibly accommodate both restful and social vacation experiences. The transformed front façade now features a dramatic shed roof and expansive windows, offering immediate curb appeal while hinting at the light-filled spaces within.

Inside, a serene palette of crisp white walls and natural wood accents sets the stage for panoramic green views framed by large windows and skylights throughout. Vaulted ceilings create playful room volumes that distinguish each room from another, while also making each space feel luxurious and expansive. The layout centers around a generous indoor-outdoor gathering space where the living, dining, and entertaining area flows seamlessly onto a spacious deck. This hub allows renters to connect and relax in a home that balances comfort, flexibility, and a sense of escape.

Every detail was tailored to support adaptable use—multiple rooms and sleeping configurations, open entertaining zones, and thoughtful daylighting—making this a true vacation-ready home that invites guests to linger in its modern, breezy charm.
