T
he original owners of Fletcher took daily walks in different Austin neighborhoods and became enchanted by Bouldin Creek. “Every time we walked in Bouldin, we were impressed by its proximity to Downtown and its cohesion as a community,” said Mr.
Thatcher. And that was 2006! Oh if he could see South 1st and South Congress Avenues today. Within a mile the area has added Lenoir, Sway, Loro, Odd Duck, Perlas, June’s All Day, and dozens more. When the Thatchers happened upon this lot, they fell in love with its size and ideal topography. The privacy and trees have even more appeal now, and after award-winning David Wilson collaborated with current owner 3+ years ago, the lush but low-maintenance landscape has been declared a Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. Fully irrigated and replete with native species, the thoughtful landscape changes with the seasons and creates a serene setting in the heart of the city. The home itself is ADA compliant, a luxury home invisibly accessible to all. The floorplan sets up perfectly for a variety of family make-ups, with generous master on one wing and office or guest suite on the other. A special design feature is the way the kitchen and dining bump out from the basic rectangle, with character and drama added by the vaulted wood-accented ceiling. Walls of glass bring the outside in, and the current owners marvel at the way the light plays differently with the seasons. 709 Fletcher is utterly unique in its features and design. Will you be the lucky next steward of this singular residence? Timely closing with a flexible leaseback would appeal to the sellers. See agent for other ideal contractual elements.

The Cottage Celebrated architect Don Harris designed the cottage that embodies the welcoming neighborhood style and was completed in 2019. It provides a privacy buffer for the main house, which still enjoys a generous backyard. Harris expertly placed the windows for treetop views of nature and sky – not neighbors.
