Sorry to inflict more real estate drama on you, but that’s just how I roll these days. Other people have Real Housewives of Whogivesabooger (no offense to watchers of said programs), and I have real estate porn. I feel good about the arrangement. Anyhoo, you dudes are going to pee in your pants when you see this place. I opened the little gateway thingamajig my fancy realtor sent me and nearly passed out from the goodness. It may be true that if you’re Richie F. Rich then better homes can be found, but better homes for 300K? I don’t think so. Behold.
That’s right. It’s 2300 sq ft of glass and marble. And it’s not mine. Ugh. The neighborhood is all wrong for us, but guess what? Next best thing — The Inlaws bought it!
I am so going to be hot tubbing it up this summer… while The Inlaws are babysitting Ike, natch. They may not be fully aware of this arrangement yet, so let’s keep it on the DL.
Did you see the pool? Did you see the windows? Did you see all the palms swaying ever so gently in the wind, whispering, Erin…. have another margarita? I want to swim here more than CBS wants Charlie Sheen back. The rest of the place ain’t too shabby, either.
There is a sure enough koi pond in the atrium next to the dining room.
Clerestory windows out the ass.
The master bedroom means bizness time.
Hot diggity dog, this place is insane but it needs paint and a kitchen reno for real. I have some ideas for its transformation, but I may be calling in the troops (that would be ya’lluns) for help as the situation unfolds. Excitement!
Know what else is sure to send you into atrial fibrillation?
Karly is coming back tomorrow.
Word.
ok, here in LA you can’t buy ANYTHING for 300k. nothing. nada. zilch. not even a studio condo.
crazy good (i live for the phrase “koi pond in the atrium”. seriously).
LOVE! Totally worth driving to Hutto/Dripping Springs/Kyle/ Insert Far-Flung Nabe Here. It’s really fab! Look forward to seeing more- it’s gorgeous!
Here I must quote the good people of Antiques Roadshow: “Wow.”
POOL PARTY! That’s a beautiful home! We’ll all be there for the hot tub & margarita’s! Yes…the palm’s are calling us all! Does hubby have a brother?
shut the hell up that was 300K? Is it next to a nuclear reactor?
I’d say you, I mean your inlaws, struck gold! Oh, you are going to have so much fun.
Oh my GAWD! You get to hang out there!!!! Koi pond in the atrium?! Get OUT! Congrats to the in laws..AND YOU!
Karly’s back?! This is a good news day.
Rad. Can I crash the pool party?
300K?? OMG R u friggen kidding me???? Sheesh…. Why do I live in the overrated Silicon Valley? ??? WHY? Oh yea– cause San Jose is HELLA-Awesome! HELLA -the bomb.com HELLA-Fun has HELLA_good food HELLA- freinds and sadly is HELLA-OVERPRICED. oh well that’s just one bad thing.
more importantly um when can i come over and go hoy-tubbing? and by the way you still owe me some tubeing action too.
Miss ya love ya
gadzooks the windows! They all seem to have a view of that pool. Yay for the inlaws!
It will be so nice to have Karly back into the mix again. Not that I could ever be sick of you. Just sayin…
That looks like a great property, I’d love to live somewhere like that! Enjoy the hot tub in the summer!
Love it — crazy good!
Whoa, okay, I’ve only toured your current crib virtually, but this place looks like “the one” to me.
I mean, a koi pond? Hello, it’s a taker!
Don’t hesitate…that price is sick for Austin.
Sending you good home-clenching karma, Alcira

Erinnnnnnn this is SERIOUSLY amazing. I am amazed. I want to swim and margarita with you!!! so fun. is it weird we don’t know each other and I want to get drunk with you in bathing suits? who cares. weird schmeird.
Yay, can’t wait for reno posts related to this gem….
Happy to head to margaritaville with you, Julie — being drunk will help me to appear in public while wearing a bathing suit.
How did I miss this?!?
That place is AMAZING. And I’m sure you exerted absolutely no influence in its selection.
