Client Purchases Home in East Austin

Yesterday, the dream of owning a home in East Austin was realized by a client of mine. Her home search took a while (including losing another home because of an inaccurate, low appraisal), but she persisted and the process has come to an end!
Many modern home buyers want newer homes with all the bells and whistles that have come along with new building techiques and technology. That is not the case for this client! She knew what she wanted from the start: what I would call a vintage home in a quaint neighborhood, one that is close to what Downtown Austin and Ladybird Johnson Lake have to offer.
This special home (2 bedrooms and 1 bath, built in 1948) has a number of enduring features that helped her love it: original doors and windows, original hard-wood floors, lovely curb appeal, and very nice landscaping. It has some modern updates. It was exciting to hear her talk about her plans to make improvements to the home ... little by little. Keep smiling, Sam!
