2201 Bowman Ave, Austin TX 78703

On a corner lot in Tarrytown, this property offers something genuinely unique: a well-designed home and a purpose-built professional recording studio — designed and constructed with the kind of intention that's almost impossible to replicate today.

The main house, built in 2013, has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2,385 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space by Stuart Sampley. The studio, built in 2005, is 1,788 sq ft with 1 bedroom and 1 full bath upstairs. Solar panels on the roof generate roughly a quarter of the energy needed for both buildings. Multiple outdoor spaces, a screened, front porch, and +0.2 acres round out a property that rewards the kind of buyer who pays attention to how things are made.

With large, sliding doors surrounding the living space the residence is filled with natural light throughout the day. An impressive kitchen island anchors the kitchen and creates a second gathering place, in addition to the formal dining room. Two bedrooms share a full bathroom downstairs, and your primary suite encompasses the second story. A private balcony, flexible reading nook space, and multiple skylights create a haven for you to retreat to.

The studio wasn't built to approximate a professional space — it is one, with a client list that includes Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Arcade Fire, Spoon, and Shawn Mendez. The design draws on the same acoustic philosophy as Steve Albini's legendary Electrical Audio in Chicago, right down to the adobe brick and earthen plaster that give the live room its warm, distinctive sound.
