To get a green home in Central Austin, you'll want to consider homes that have been renovated and updated green. This home on Sinclair in the heart of Rosedale is a really great example of a "greenovated" Central Austin home.

Impeccable attention to detail and tasteful, unique updates are evident everywhere you look. From the art deco style vents, to the waterfall kitchen counter feature, it is a classy blending of the traditional existing home with a open modern expansion adding more square footage for the family. The home offers a huge screened porch and a wall of windows that lets the outdoors in. Custom stone cut accent walls and wood floors provide a balanced combination of natural materials for a refreshing space. Another unique feature are the floors on the addition. Concrete was blended with custom aggregate to give this flooring a terrazzo tendency as opposed to traditional stained concrete.

After being 'wowed' by all of the updates, you'll be 'sold' by all of the green features! 3.8 KW Solar Panel System, Spray foam insulation in the attic, Marvin integrity double pane low e windows, and a 3 zone 15 SEER hvac system will keep your bills down. There is no carpeting in the home which will improve your air quality, as well as a Rinnai tankless water heater to keep things running efficiently. I could go on and on about the features of this home, but suffice to say that the owners spared no expense in really doing it right! You'll need to see it to really appreciate what they've done.

Being located in central Austin also puts this home close to so much. Walking distance to Central Market, Ramsey Park and Pool as well as numerous cafe's, shops and restaurants right nearby.

6812 Joyce- Green Home in Allandale

Thanks for your patience in seeing the next home, everyone! I was down with the flu, big-time and my daughter got it too. It made me realize that I probably want to get a flu shot next year. There it is for the record- you heard it here.

6812 Joyce, 3 bed, 2 bath, 1706 sf, $469,000

This next house is a real gem. Green homes in Austin come in all shapes, sizes and ages. This one is a brand new, craftsman style, in a great close-in location. Utilizing in-fill, or building on a single lot to get a close location, is great green feature. It reduces sprawl, and allows a home-owner to be closer to the things they need- like the office downtown. The builder worked with a designer, and it really shows. The space has amazing flow and lots of light. When you walk in you can just see a glimpse of the living room (very nicely staged by the way), and then the sun filled dining room and back porch. It really draws you in. There are a number of thoughtful features- from the beadboard ceiling entrance, to the outdoor speakers on the back porch. This home got a 2 star rating from the City of Austin's green building program, and is located in a cool North Central Austin Neighborhood.

What else is great about this green home? The location of course. Allandale features easy access to shopping on Burnet road as well as being the center for the huge and popular Northwest Park. You are also just a hop, skip and jump to the Sun Harvest food store, coffee shops and the Alamo Drafthouse (I am a big fan!) all up on Anderson Lane. Did you also know that you can bike along the shoal creek greenbelt all the way to downtown? I have not ridden it myself, but it's on the list. Have any of you done this ride?
