Lush Backyard Pool Tops Off Overgrown Texan "Cottage"

Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.

Location: Austin, Texas
Price: $2,400,000
The Skinny: Set among oaks near the banks of Lake Austin, this cottage-style house packs a lot of features into 4,200 square feet. Thanks to a high-peaked roof, the interiors enjoy soaring ceilings, including 28 feet of headroom in the living room. Wide, multi-paned windows let in light and allow views of an idyllic backyard, where a huge swimming pool is surrounded by old growth trees and a spacious patio. All of this casual luxury is rendered in a simple, if dull, style, but something certainly more subdued than one might have come to expect from Texas. The price, $2.4M, is more in keeping with "everything's bigger in Texas."
