The High & the Low: the week’s most and least expensive home sales

It's time again for the High & the Low, a Curbed Austin column chronicling the most and least expensive homes sold in Austin in the last seven days. (Sales information gathered from Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.) Let’s see what buyers and sellers bought and paid for this week!

The biggest sale of the week charted at No. 8 in our most recent mapped list of most expensive homes on the market in Austin. The European-by-way-of-Texas estate is on 2.6 gated acres just off Highway 360 and within a chip shot (maybe) of the Austin Country Club golf course’s 18th hole.

Also convenient to Lake Austin, the 11,012-square foot home has seven bedrooms and eight and a half bathrooms, as well as a media room, a wine cellar, four fireplaces (including one in the palatial, poolside, outdoor entertaining area), a five-car garage (disguised as stables), and a nice view of the Pennybacker Bridge.

↑ 4401 Capital of Texas Highway hit the market in September, asking $7.6 million. It sold February 27 for $6.29 million.

↑ 4608 East Village Court The least-expensive single-family home sold this week is baroque and colorful in its own, completely different way. Located in the Dove Springs area of Southeast Austin, it measures 825 square feet and has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It was an investment property with a tenant when it was sold as-is, with foundation and other problems disclosed.

Listed for $109,500 on Feb. 9, it was sold Feb. 24 for $106,000.
