Luxury New Homes in Thriving City

While other cities still struggle to regain their footing after the economic downturn, one city remains stable and is actually thriving despite recent hardships. Austin, Texas is still doing well. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that the city has grown since 2000 and the Bureau of Labor Statistics report that Austin’s unemployment rate is under the national average, making the city a viable location for buyers searching for Austin luxury real estate.

Not only is the city flourishing economically, but it is also a cultural hotspot known for its unique local art and music scenes, rich history and beautiful landscapes.

If you’re in the market for a new home, then you should consider Austin home builders, Sterling Custom Homes.

For more than 20 years, the builder has been known for its cutting-edge custom home designs and unique floor plans. Currently, Sterling is offering a rare opportunity to purchase a completed home at Escavera at Flintrock Falls in Lakeway. The home features an elegant 3,905 square foot one-story floor plan with four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a three-car garage and Guest Casita.

In addition to Escavera at Flintrock Falls, Sterling builds in other new home communities throughout the Austin area including Lakeway, Village of the Hills, Rough Hollow, Caslano, Seven Oaks, Barton Creek, Mirador Drive, River Place and Spanish Oaks.

Sterling Enhances Driveway Application

Always thinking of ways to improve its home building process and please buyers, Sterling Custom Homes is improving its rap-“pour”-t again! This Austin home builder has come up with a new application that gives driveways of their luxury Austin homes a unified finishing touch.

“So many times it doesn’t cost any more to implement a change like the driveway/garage apron improvement,” said Vick Pope, vice president of construction at Sterling Custom Homes. “It only requires the desire to constantly improve, and the mindset that never accepts things as the way they’ve always been done.”

In standard methods other builders use, driveway material is poured up to the exterior of the garage apron, leaving an exposed meeting place between the home’s driveway and foundation. The driveway and foundation are often two different materials or finishes, and this discontinuity can be seen by residents and visitors alike.

However, Sterling Custom Homes has bettered this process, and buyers can now have a seamless flow from the driveway to the foundation of their Austin luxury real estate. The new process involves Sterling dropping the foundation at the garage’s apron, which allows the driveway to end at the point where the garage door meets the concrete. This simple process provides a seamless flow from the driveway to the garage with a professionally finished look.

Sterling Custom Homes demonstrates this dedication to detail in other aspects of their home building as well. For more information, visit the Sterling Custom Homes website today.
