Designed by well-known UT architect James Coote as his personal residence, this thoughtfully reimagined home offers a rare combination of architectural significance, modern comfort, and a subtle Scandinavian sensibility. Clean lines, restrained materials, and an emphasis on light and simplicity. Originally built in 1975 and recently taken down to the studs, the renovation preserves the integrity of Coote’s vision while delivering the functionality and finish of a new home.The design centers around a signature courtyard layout that draws natural light deep into the interiors and creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The courtyard pool serves as a private, inward-facing focal point, ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. A separate backyard offers additional outdoor space and flexibility. The home features four bedrooms, including a private wing well suited for guests, a home office, or flexible living, along with another ensuite bedroom on the main floor. The primary suite and secondary bedroom are on the second level.The renovation thoughtfully prioritized home health and efficiency, including a comprehensive siding and insulation overhaul, new roofing, whole-house water filtration, UV water sanitation, and reverse osmosis for purified drinking water. Additional upgrades include heated floors in three bathrooms, high-end appliances, a whole-house dehumidifier, and a pool by Westbank Pools.Interior living spaces are anchored by a fireplace and finished with a clean, modern aesthetic that complements the home’s architectural roots. The layout balances openness with defined spaces, allowing for both connection and privacy.The property offers a highly convenient location just minutes from Lake Austin and Downtown Austin, tucked into the heart of Tarrytown.
