It is the owner's recollection the original home was built by Bill Coleman, an influential architect who designed & built many mid-century modern homes in Austin in the 1950s and 1960s. He was known for his minimalist style & use of natural materials such as wood and stone.Some of his notable projects include the Balcones Residence (1958), which was featured in Architectural Record & Houston Chronicle, & the original Galleria shopping center in Houston. Coleman was also a professor of architecture at the University of Texas at Austin for many years, & his work helped to establish Austin's reputation as a center for modernist architecture.
The lot is located in the highly desirable schools, both Zilker Elementary and O. Henry Middle School are nearby. And for those who appreciate Austin's unique culture and vibrant community, downtown Austin, with its famous music scene, world-class dining, and eclectic nightlife, is just a short drive away.
