Lovely Eastside contemporary wants $479K

This fairly new build (2014) in one of East Austin’s increasingly popular neighborhoods (MLK) is nicely proportioned for its long, narrow lot and, unlike its close neighbor, tucked back from the street. That makes for a quiet, unobtrusive quality that is nevertheless welcoming; the big, wood front porch does a lot to make it look inviting.

The 1,510-square-foot, one-story home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as all kinds of features that provide that open-airy quality: natural light, floating shelves, exposed beams, and concrete floors.

There’s also a deck in the fenced backyard and a mod-style, detached open carport that brings it all together. The home is listed by Legacy Austin Realty, but we found out about it from Creede Fitch.
