4225 Camacho Street by The Muskin Company

Austin's flair for modern design comes home in The Muskin Company’s spectacular entry in this year’s Parade of Homes™. This mid-century modern design has a decidedly Austin flavor, incorporating many local craftsman and artisans. From the open interior design to the wide open, corner windows leading to a panoramic view of the lake, Michael Hsu’s design offers jaw-dropping features. The see-through surrounding stone fireplace is the vision of Austin’s own Berthold Haas. The diverse interior design is matched on the exterior with unique combinations of stone, stucco and wood, along with flat and angled roof lines. You’re looking at more than a home; it’s a multi-dimensional work of art.

Alan Muskin, an award-winning builder in Austin for more than 25 years, continues a tradition of green building. He resourcefully uses land, water and air in this home to earn another 5-Star rating from Austin Energy Green Building as well as prestigious designations from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

Hsu’s inspiring design merges the scenic outdoors with the indoor comforts. In addition to the seamless, corner windows, the home features a 12-foot sliding door that disappears between the family room and an outdoor living area, which is covered by a steel trellis. The outdoor fire pit and barbecue area is perfect for the wonderful Austin weather and Texas hospitality. Add these views to those of the lake and the University of Texas and you have a home with an enviable location; a setting beyond replication.

Muskin was selected as one of the original builders in the Mueller redevelopment and built 12 popular Craftsman Style homes in the Garden Court section. Few builders know Austin, its terrain and history like Muskin. Muskin-built homes span from the core of downtown to the edge of the famed Texas Hill Country. This home at 4225 Camacho Street is the capstone of superior building and design by the Muskin Company. It is built with passion for people who value home life and community.
