Architecture this intentional doesn't happen by accident. Built in 2023 and recognized by Austin Home Magazine as the 2025 Best Architecture award winner, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 2,400 sqft single-family residence rises from a distinctive corner lot in one of Austin's most energized neighborhoods — a short distance from the stretch of East 11th Street that earned a top-three ranking on Time Out's list of the world's coolest streets, and just minutes from downtown. Designed by Studio Oriell and Fazio Architects, the Triangle House commands its razor-shaped footprint with purpose, turning a challenging site into something genuinely worth stopping for. Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass draws natural light deep into the home, washing over polished concrete and hot-rolled steel while a sculptural floating staircase climbs three stories alongside soaring 25-foot windows that frame sky, treetops, and the Austin skyline. White oak floors and custom cabinetry bring warmth to the home's bold modernism, while the kitchen's honed Brazilian Black Moon soapstone counters and steel cabinetry feel both refined and grounded. A Tadelakt wet room with a cast-in-place soaking tub and handcrafted brass fixtures offers a daily retreat that rivals any spa. Integrated smart home technology, a whole-home sound system, smart thermostat, built-in bookcases, natural woodwork, and recessed lighting speak to a home where every detail was considered. A private plunge pool anchors the outdoor space, while a Saltillo-tiled rooftop terrace delivers panoramic views stretching to the 360 Bridge. For the buyer who wants design that actually lives — this is it.

Owner/Agent. Rare opportunity for dual residences. So many options here. Just 2 houses off of Tillery St and a thriving neighborhood commercial zone, this location offers the best of both worlds for a home business and residence. The two homes are craftsman/mid century in design. It's a stand out property with a cozy but modern feel, unique in every way from anything else in the surrounding area. The front house, Unit #1, was remodeled from the studs in 2019 and has been rented out mostly as monthly Airbnb rental since. Unit #2 is a newly constructed home that has just received its certificate of occupancy. Both houses have accessory rooms that have private entrances so there is a lot of potential for uses. Must see to appreciate! Unit #1 is a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home with one suite that has its own private exterior entrance as well as a hall entrance to the rest of the home. Unit #2 has two entrances. One accesses the main floor and the primary entrance. The other is intended for the upstairs suite. The two floors can be separated by hallway door which is a great option for STR, guests and family. Unit #2 has insulated deep garage with EV Charger. Each house has its own parking with two driveways. Where in East Austin do you have this much parking? Permitted but expired plans to expand #1 and do a minor rework on the floor plan. Plans also were to add another unit in the future to the back on #1 and put in a 2nd story #3. Please see documents for additional information. All work to date has been permitted through the City of Austin. Units have separate utilities and are set up to be condo'd. The owner would prefer to sell this sweet property to one owner although set it up so that it can be split.
