From: Furman and Keil Architects

This open-concept remodeled 1980s home in Austin, TX has walls of windows for spectacular lake views. A screened-in wraparound porch provides the perfect place for outdoor entertaining, while a smaller porch off the living room includes a fireplace for cozying up on cooler nights.

Open Exterior and Tree

This 1980s home was originally constructed of a series of enclosed rooms, which meant its spectacular location was little admired. Now, an open concept layout with walls of windows mean the interior gets treated to lake views from every corner.

One of the new additions to this 1980s home on the edge of Austin's lake was a screened-in porch. A casual sitting area lets residents get lost in those panoramic views.
