About Colette Zygmont
I bought this house when I was single, when it was a 2 bedroom/2 bath house. My chiropractic practice is on S.Lamar and in the style of keeping life simple, I wanted a house in 78704. When I walked into this house, it spoke to me. The house oozes comfort with the perfect mixture of space and class. I kept adding on to the house, expanding the inside and outside as husband and children were added to the mix. There is also a significant focus on green building design as the house is solar-electric and has a tankless hot water heater. The studio on the 3rd floor has its own Japanese Fujitsu ac/heat unit.
Colette Zygmont purchased this house in 1994
Why Colette Zygmont chose Austin
I fell in love with this house in 1994 when I bought it for myself and have lived there for 15 years and am finally moving on and choosing to share it with many rather than sell it. I chose this house based on the unique lay out and huge kitchen/great room. (800 sq.ft) I love cooking and entertaining and this spread is perfect for that. The original house was built in 1932 and has beautiful original wood floors and lots of light from many windows including stained glass windows in the living room. The addition, built in 2002 by my brother, added 3 more bedrooms and a yoga/meditation studio. (also sleeps two who prefers star gazing) The new addition has 2500 sq. ft of gorgeous maple floors, antique glass tile and Mexican travertine tile in the bathrooms. This house is nestled in 78704, the quintessential hip Austin neighborhood...walking distance from Barton Springs and the hike and bike trail around Lady Bird Lake as well as the Greenbelt, Austin's unique inner city trail system perfect for hikers and mountain bikers. It is also walking distance to funky Flipnotics Cafe and the Daily Juice Cafe as well as all the restaurants on Barton Springs Rd. The Alamo Draft House (an Austin must) is just 5 minutes the other direction and now, also walkable, is High Ball, an adult vintage bowling alley which is a ton of fun for those with a passion for bowling. Enjoy!
What makes this house unique
This house delights all visitors. There cannot be a more wonderful place for family gatherings because of the gigantic kitchen and variety of things to choose from. Because of the house's size, many people can be doing many different things and give each other space to spread out and relax. It has a third floor tower room that has views of downtown, which is a great place to watch fireworks on July 4th. Everything about the house spells E N T E R T A I N I N G.

Reviews
VRBO Bear stayed here
Oct 12, 2010Wow! This was the perfect house for a classy bear like me during my visit to Austin, Texas. From the top floor “yogi” room where I did my “yoga” bear exercises all the way down to the 1st floor, this amazing house was a wonderful place to stay. There was lots of space for my friends to visit together, but plenty of individual retreat space as well so we could have quiet time when we wanted it. This home was located in a nice residential neighborhood, several blocks from the main road. There were large yards and lots of big trees, but we were still a very short drive from downtown and the airport, so it was easy to get around the fun city of Austin. Our hostess was wonderful – she left DVDs, CDs and lots of books here for us to enjoy. She has decorated this house with many fun extras – and there’s a fireplace, a hot tub, BBQ grill, huge multi-level deck, and even a jungle gym for the “cubs” to play on in the enclosed back yard. We loved the special touches – towels near the hot tub, a welcome sheet that explained where to find things and how to lock up the house, stained glass, beautiful art pieces, and a hammock. We felt at home and very welcomed. The kitchen was huge, with many modern conveniences. I loved the way it opened up into the great room (with fireplace) so that the folks cooking or eating in the kitchen could still be part of the conversation with the folks relaxing on the couch. The flat screen TV was in the “other” living room so that visiting and TV watching didn’t have to happen in the same room. Lots of windows throughout on every side along with skylights made this house very cheery and bright. Everything was clean and shiny. All in all, this lovely home has left me with perfect memories of my recent trip to Austin. The VRBO Bear
Wonderful!

Cute, clean home with lots of space and bedrooms!
We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay! Colette was very responsive and easy to get in touch with throughout our stay. Beautiful home!
Spacious, plenty of bedroom space
Stayed here for a friend's wedding in Austin, and we had 5 couples all share the house. There were plenty of bedrooms and ample bathrooms, as well as good common space, which made it a very comfortable and enjoyable alternative to a hotel. Colette was easy to work with, and the house was clean and well-stocked with towels for our arrival! Would absolutely stay here again.
Great stay!
The house was great. It's rooms accommodated our whole group comfortably! Colette was very responsive and helpful, I would recommend the house to others who visit.
Loved this unique house
Our little group loved this eclectic, charming house. Spacious, clean and well-stocked, this house was our "home away from home." Lifelong memories were made here. By the way, the location is awesome. We walked to Zilker park to enjoy Barton Springs and all the other hot spots near by. Thank you for allowing us to use your home.
Amazingly beautiful!
This place is amazing! Exceeded all our expectations. It was also very convenient to the places we explored - great value for the money!! The hostess is very gracious! Thank you!!
LOVELY OPEN Concept ..
We loved this house for our visit to Austin for meeting my sister and brother. Such a perfect place for visiting, cooking, relaxing or super close to everything that Austin has to offer. We would love to make this a yearly trip and stay in the house! Every room is stocked with anything you could possibly want. Very comfortable beds for everyone also. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and anything else you can possibly dream up . . Thank you!
