New House on the Block: 1513 Fairview

I am totally in LOVE with this New House on the Block!  1513 Fairview has so much curb appeal that I fell in love with it when it was still under construction while driving by it almost everyday during lunch.  Located just east of Montrose, in Houston, Texas, this 4,374 sq. ft. contemporary gem has hardwood floors made of Brazilian teak, Cumaru, through out and has a total of three bedrooms.  If that were not enough, my house this multi-family home also features a sunken living area, beautiful kitchen, elevator, and an amazing rooftop patio that overlooks downtown Houston.  I think this place is a steal, at just under $2 million!

Austin's Newest Home on the Block

I am most definitely loving this house, which I found via ProGoLuxury, that was completed by Austin-based firm, James D. LaRue Architecture Design.  The contemporary home, located in west Austin next to a golf course, was created to merge the indoors with the magnificent outdoors that the city has to offer.  The house, which has 4,722 square feet, has three separate building structures that are all inner-connected with breezeways, bridges, and pathways.  This is truly an amazing house!

I am really big on straight lines and simple, clean designs!

An outdoor living area, which overlooks a golf course, is another example of bringing the outside in.

I love view of the pool into the outdoor living area.  This would be an amazing house to host friends.
