The local factors that make this area a strong setting — and investment — for a custom home.
East Austin walkability
Cherrywood is walkable to Manor Road's restaurants and bars, Mueller's trails and shops, and downtown via a quick bike. Location here keeps a custom home in demand.
Bungalow remodels & additions
Many Cherrywood homes are 1930s–50s bungalows worth preserving. We handle sensitive additions, second-story pop-ups, and whole-home renovations that keep the character and open the space.
ADU-friendly lots
Cherrywood's deep lots are well-suited to accessory dwelling units for rental income, multigenerational living, or a home office. We design and build ADUs that complement the main house.
