Skyview- Central Austin Green Home

100 E Skyview
3 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths, 2429 sf, $529,900

This 5 star green home (5 out of 5 stars City of Austin Green Build Program) was built by the owners (not just your average homeowners- one is an architect, and the other is a designer!) I recognize their work from other homes right nearby...I think they are slowly going to renovate the whole neighborhood, and from all of the other homes I have seen, they do a great job. It's always nice to have green savvy neighbors.  Location is great too. Just a few minutes to everything you could want in North Central Austin.

What I love: of course all of the great green stuff, plus the fact that it has lots of character!

Great light and lots of windows
Secret hidden office nook
Sunken living room
Reclaimed hardwood floors (from the deconstructed neighbors home)
Adorable mini mosaic backsplash
Fabulous flow of space
Rolling 'barn' door

Now for the green:
Solar panels, metal roof, spray-foam insulation, tankless water heater, low VOC paints, great covered porch space, raised garden beds chicken coop, low water landscaping and rainwater collection. For the more technical of you, lets just keep going! Advanced framing methods, FSC certified lumber used in construction, energy star windows, urea-formaldehyde free insulation, sheet metal duct work, return-air duct work for all bedrooms, humidistat thermostat, composite lumber decking and exterior fixtures designed to reduce light pollution/up-lighting

This fabulous green home will not be on the market long!

Stay Tuned and Stay Green!
