MLS# 1124916 - 4506 Chiappero Trail, Austin, TX 78731

Everyone wants a good neighbor. In respect to those that came before us, the Comanches who used Shoal Creek as a trail to Herb Crume's mid-century masterpiece on La Ronde, this project is about nestling two new homes within a ranch-scaled neighborhood. Directly across the street, Herb Crume designed several houses in the early 1950's. Each house is nestled around native Live Oak and Pecan trees, with low-slung roofs, brick walls with wood overhangs. Herb's personal house is one of the few remaining mid-century masterpieces in Austin. It's cantileverd horizontal roofs, large expanses of glass and flowing indoor-outdoor spaces offered a vision of engaging the Central Texas landscape that few have been able to achieve. The homes located at 4504 and 4506 Chiappero Trail are offered as an extension to Herb's designs. New homes built for modern people, with modern spaces. With deep connections to the landscape, with overhangs to shade glass and spaces to entertain or hide things. A bridge. Between then and now. -Scott Magic, Magic Architecture Architecture by Magic Architecture Construction, project management and interior finishes by Cary Paul Studios.
