About the host
Hosted by Susan Piver Browne
I'm a NY Times best-selling author of 9 books, a meditation teacher, and cat lover who thinks Austin is the greatest city ever. I travel a lot for work and am happy to share this perfectly located piece of the real South Austin.
Why they chose this property
I lived in South Austin in the 90s and have always longed to come back. People say Austin has changed--and it has, of course. It is bigger, more exciting, more urban--but, to me, it still has its soul fully intact.
What makes this property unique
The moment I walked into this house, I fell in love with how light and airy it felt. The living room has two large skylights and the floors are white marble, giving it a tremendously bright vibe. It is "old South Austin" at its finest--soulful, unique, and a little bohemian.
