Tarrytown - Old Meets New

Lamar Homes just remodeled a cool cottage in Tarrytown, located in West Austin.  Remodeling is on the rise as we see people wanting to be closer to downtown with the perks of a new and updated house.  Tarrytown is an affluent neighborhood with easy access to UT and Mopac.  In the past some of these older cottages were torn down and "McMansions" were popping up.  But the McMansion ordinance soon put a stop to that back in 2006 and now homeowners are getting more creative!

The owner grew up in this home located on Woodmont and rather than sell it or tearing it down, she decided to preserve it and keep it's vintage charm.  My dad, Gerald found some classic pieces to tie old and new together like this unique door knob.

Other updates included new flooring, wrought iron railings, and a completely updated kitchen with new light fixtures.

Lots in this area are scarce but Lamar Homes can do a custom build right next door to this cottage.  So if you're in the market for brand new home in Tarrytown, check out Lamar Homes for details.
