3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths

The "gated" entry.

Note the surveyor's flag.  That was $ pre-close.   There's a house in there somewhere, plenty of untrimmed trees first.

The backyard goes back to Barton Creek, just below the homes in this pic:

 And here's a little interior flavor.  Everything is 1986 original, including the concrete floors.

We will need a gut remodel - new roof, new exterior, all new windows and doors, and all new interior.  Plus pool repair, new deck, and landscaping.  First task is to decide whether to raze or remodel.  We have several builders out to provide opinions and estimates, a few architects to talk about options, and a couple of decorators for good measure.  Remodeling appears to be cheaper than starting over.  Unfortunately, the cost of the remodel, combined with the purchase price, would yield a final "investment" above what one could recoup for a 3 bed / 2.5 bath 3000 sq foot home.  So that means we may as well add a couple of bedrooms and another bathroom during the remodel while everything is torn apart.  Its only money.  So next step: selecting an architect, designer, and builder.
