About 1903 E 17th Street A
DragonWING isn’t subtle—and it’s not supposed to be. The rooflines and angles give the home its name, creating a silhouette that feels intentional, architectural, and just a little unexpected. Designed by architect Guido Porto, the interiors follow through on that first impression. A two-story living space opens upward to a second story skylight that brings in natural light without the usual heat gain. The effect is bright, cheerful, and comfortable throughout the day. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout is flexible and quietly functional, with accessible features fully integrated into the design. Clean lines, thoughtful proportions, and a natural connection between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces create an easy rhythm—one that works just as well for everyday living as it does when the house is full of guests. Two screened porches extend the living space and primary bedroom in a way that actually changes how the home is used. Doors open, people drift outside, and the boundaries between indoors and out start to blur. Multiple seating areas, an outdoor shower, and raised vegetable garden beds add to the outdoor living opportunities. Native landscaping for beauty and wildlife keeps things grounded—lush without asking much in return. NO mowing here! Sustainability here isn’t a feature list—it’s integral to the design. Solar panels, rainwater collection, EV charging, energy efficiency, and masterful daylighting all work together in a way that makes sense for the resident & the environment. And then there’s the location. Only two blocks from Sour Duck, The Wheel, Juiceland, Austin Daily Press, LaPlancha, Bennu, Sukha Yoga, Casa de Luz, VAIN salon, FUSE co-working.and a long list of East Austin staples, with UT, Dell Med, rail, and transit all close at hand. Fully fenced front yard with a custom steel automatic gate, plus garage and carport. Completely separate fenced yard from B unit, which is accessed from alley. DragonWING has a point of view and is awaiting your visit.
