Candace Comer ATX Realtor

Even though this weekend’s forecast is looking less than ideal, there are still plenty of ways to make the most of a slow, rainy day in ATX.

Start with brunch at Better Half, head up the street to wander the aisles at BookPeople, then end the afternoon flipping through records at Waterloo.

Head home with a new book, a new record, and an easy plan for the rest of the day. Honestly, not a bad way to spend a rainy long weekend ☔️

A design choice I think may feel dated faster than people expect? Matching everything too perfectly.

When every light fixture, cabinet pull, faucet, mirror, wood tone, and accent finish is the exact same, a home can start to feel more like a showroom than a space with personality. The homes that tend to age best usually have a little mix: warm and cool tones, old and new pieces, matte and polished finishes, or a few materials that feel collected over time. Cohesive is great, but too perfect can start to feel flat.

Exactly where you want to be in East Austin, this fully reimagined single-level home feels private, polished, and truly Austin 🌵

Inside, you’ll find incredible natural light, a redesigned kitchen with Zia tile and Brazilian quartzite, and a primary suite tucked quietly away from the main living spaces. Outside, the resort-style pool, 10-person spa, and lush landscaping bring the whole property together, just steps from Este, Bar Toti, Zed’s, Birdie’s, Nixta, Boggy Creek Greenbelt, and more.
