The Space:
Casa Tranquila was designed around a simple idea: slow down. Warm oak and cool concrete run through every room, met by clay and terracotta tones that never feel loud - clean, minimalist lines with just enough texture to feel grounded. Nothing here is trying to impress you. It's built to hand you a good book, a cocktail, or a hand of cards, and let the day set its own pace.
Where You'll Sleep
Upstairs, the primary suite holds a king bed, a private desk, and a walk-in closet - plus an ensuite bathroom wrapped floor-to-ceiling in emerald green tile, with brass fixtures that catch the light like something out of a boutique hotel. It's the kind of bathroom you linger in.
A queen bedroom leans into rust and textiles - terracotta lamps, a rust-striped jute rug, and a black dresser with brass pulls grounding the warmth. A third bedroom holds a full bed dressed in dusty blue and tan, with a mid-century walnut dresser and open pine shelving styled like a well-loved study. This room opens straight onto its own private patio through a glass-paned door - step outside for morning coffee without waking the rest of the house.
A second full bathroom, wrapped in bold coral tile, rounds out the home.
Living, Kitchen & Dining
The main living area is anchored by a sectional and a rotating cast of folk-art prints - a cowboy in a wide-brimmed hat, a rider beneath the moon - giving the downstairs a sense of curated warmth rather than showroom polish. The kitchen continues the material story: warm oak cabinetry, a waterfall quartz island, black dome pendants overhead. A round dining table nearby seats 6, set just behind a slatted wood room divider that adds definition without closing the space off.
The Game Room
Painted a deep, moody green, the game room is where the pace of the day picks back up. A leather-topped poker table anchors one corner, foosball and darts round out the rest, and a pair of curved rust ottomans keep the seating loose and easy. A queen sleeper sofa means this room can double as a fourth sleeping space when you need it - with a TV and glass doors leading straight out to the pool.
Out Back
This is where Casa Tranquila really lives. A swimming pool anchors the yard, framed by a run of teak loungers and two oversized scalloped umbrellas that could've been pulled off a Mediterranean postcard. A fire pit, ringed with Adirondack chairs, waits for the sun to go down. In between: a covered dining table for 8, a proper BBQ, disc golf, ping pong, and cornhole - everything you need for an afternoon that drifts, without anyone having to plan it.
String lights run the length of the back fence, so the evening doesn't have to end when the sun does.

The Neighborhood:
Casa Tranquila sits in Austin’s trendy and leafy Holly neighborhood, one of the city’s most sought-after pockets where quiet residential streets meet some of the best food, music, and nightlife in town.
Just minutes away is Lady Bird Lake and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, a favorite among locals for morning runs, scenic walks, paddleboarding, and kayaking with skyline views. Being this close to the lake means you’re steps away from one of Austin’s most iconic outdoor spaces.
The home is also a short ride from Rainey Street, known for its lively collection of bungalow-style bars, patios, and restaurants that come alive in the evenings.
Nearby East Austin is packed with some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants and cafés, including Launderette, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya, Justine’s Brasserie, and Joe’s Bakery. Coffee lovers will also find excellent local spots like Desnudo Coffee and Figure 8 Coffee close by.
Downtown, the Austin Convention Center, and many of the city’s live music venues are all just minutes away, making it easy to explore Austin’s culture, food scene, and nightlife while returning to a peaceful neighborhood retreat at the end of the night.
