Green homes are popping up all around Austin and there is nothing I like more than someone who has improved on an existing home. How would you like an average utility bill of $36? Me too! This adorable Southwest Austin green home is updated with some great bells and whistles. Native landscaping, rainwater collection and solar panels are the first things to catch your eye as you drive up to this 1504 sf beauty tucked away in Westcreek. Once you come inside, you'll see that they weren't just practical, they also had a good eye for design and style. They updated this home with energy efficient double pane Anderson windows (very classy with additional detailing), thermal shield radiant barrier, high efficiency toilets, and recent insulation and hot water heater. They also kept the carpet limited to the bedroom areas.
The yard is a little shallow, and they took care of this issue as well! They planted a bamboo privacy buffer to give the patio a feeling of lush greenery and installed a second seating area. For you bamboo buffs, I think it was the clumping variety- I didn't see it sprouting elsewhere in the yard, but you'll want to verify with the seller on that.
My frugal genes also love this home because the pricing is right in line with other homes in the area. Get there quick, it is sure to be snatched up fast!
