2906 Rio Grande ST, Austin TX 78705

Inspired by the efficiency and simplicity of 1920s bungalows, the Court & Corten House is an architectural masterpiece surrounded by a serene oasis. Thoughtfully engineered around the lot’s gorgeous heritage oak, the house has a distinctly mid-century aesthetic focused on maximizing light and blending the built environment with nature. This award-winning design by Charles D. Piazza Architecture and Chris Cobb Architecture is 1601SF, with 2-beds/2.5-baths. Follow the pathway from the entry courtyard through water-wise native landscaping to an outdoor terrace. The interior is like living in a work of art. Walls of glass and perfectly-placed windows frame lush nature vignettes. Hardwood floors and ceilings accompany a neutral palette, further focusing your attention on the home’s spectacular setting. The home’s efficient layout packs a punch with a large designer kitchen, an airy dining room, and a living room with oak tree views. The owner’s suite features a spa bath and flows to the outdoor terrace through an enormous sliding glass door. Fully fenced and private, the .12-acre property offers two parking spots via a gated driveway. Tucked away in Central Austin, you have incredible access to the UT Campus, Lady Bird Lake, Shoal Creek trail, and Hyde Park. You are minutes away from both I-35 and MoPac and less than ten minutes from Downtown Austin via Guadalupe. This home was on the 2015 AIA Austin homes tour and received an AIA Austin Design Award in 2018.
