You may need to visit my 500px page to see a large version to fully appreciate this fantastic Austin view.
This image was taken from a home I will be listing this Spring in Westlake.  Eanes schools and over an acre of fantastic hilltop view from the 360 Pennybacker Bridge to the UT Tower and State Capitol.
We are still working on details such as whether to remodel or offer it first in pre-makeover condition, pricing for each option, etc.
​Plans are to have it in MLS by early March. 
Below are a few images we are using to envision how a few of the potential remodeling options might look if completed.  I had some fun doing "construction" in Photoshop!
Hover your mouse over each photo below for a description of the virtual construction I did...
Please think about anyone you know who might have an interest in a home like this!

WHAT IS A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION?
Homestead exemptions are granted by the county appraisal district where the property is located. The exemption reduces a homeowner’s property tax bill by removing part of the home’s value from taxation. All Texas homeowners may receive a General Residence Homestead Exemption on the value of their property for school taxes upon application. Other taxing entities may also o er exemptions of some percentage of the home’s value. Other exemptions are available to homeowners who are over 65 or disabled, and require the same application process.
WHO QUALIFIES?
These requirements must be met to receive the exemption:

•  You must own your home on January 1st of the year for which you are applying.
•  You must reside at the home as your principal residence on January 1st of that year, and not claim any other property as homestead.
•  Only individual homeowners (not corporations or other entities) may receive a homestead exemption.
•  A homestead can be a house, condominium or a manufactured home. It can include up to 20 acres, if the land is also owned by the homeowner and used as a yard, or for another purpose related to the residential use of the home.
