About Jason McQueen

38, Advertising Exec.

Jason McQueen purchased this house in 2008
Why Jason McQueen chose Austin

I have always loved this neighborhood and when this house became avaiable, I jumped at it. It had been neglected for years and needed to be brought back. I had looked at probably 50 homes and this one just spoke to me. I've loved it ever since.

What makes this house unique

I love the screenporch. It overlooks some amazing gardens and you cant find a more peaceful and relaxing space. The blue sitting room with the firplace is a close second. The neighborhood is beautiful and directly connected to amazing walking/bike trails that can take you all over the city.

Simply Beautiful

We have rented homes around the world and have had our fair share of disappointments. This beautiful home far exceeded all of our expectations. To be honest the photos don't do it justice. It is beautifully designed and amazingly appointed. Not a single detail overlooked. The kitchen is the most beautiful I've ever cooked in, and the beautiful gardens belong on a European estate! Best of all the owners, Jason and Forrest, are wonderfully friendly and helpful. We cant wait to return!!

My Husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for a long weekend and still haven’t stopped talking about it. Not only is it meticulously decorated, it's comfortable and extremely convenient to downtown. The beautiful screened porch and formal gardens are heaven. We didn’t want to leave! We highly recommend this amazing home!!
