If anyone knows what the address is of this Austin modern house and who the owner is, please let me know. A location scout for a television series wants to maybe use this house for the TV series shot here in Austin. The scout told me that the pool scaping and modern architecture is was was important and that this house was perfect, though we don’t know what the address is or who owns it. If you know please let me know and I’ll put you in touch with this location scout…or if you have a house that will work with a modern courtyard pool like this one, let me know. (We get a handful of these requests each year, so if you want your house to be considered for TV or commercials looking for modern architecture location, let me know and I keep your address and contact information on the ready…which makes me wonder if being a modern homes location scout is a better a living than selling modern homes….hmmm.)
