The classy home of Shaka Smart is located in the heart of the city and according to a report from realtor.com, "The 3,885-square-foot home befit a coach who turned an obscure college program into a March Madness perennial."
The house is a blend of the past and of the present. The brick façade, window trim, and black shutters may evoke the past, but the interiors are all modern according to the report. The house itself is classy in nature, as realtor.com reported, "Its features includes five fireplaces in this three-story, six-bedroom house with hardwood floors throughout."
The kitchen has bell-shaped chandeliers lighting up a walnut-topped island. Glass-tiled backsplashes line both the sink and stove. It was further described as property, "Sitting on an oversized lot, which is enclosed by a brick privacy wall. Each level has its own Charleston-style piazza, designed to stay cool in the unforgiving Southern sun."
Charleston-style piazza is defined by Southern Living as "An open-air porch that often runs the length of a home and has multiple doorways leading indoors. Originally designed to beat the South Carolina heat by capturing the cool cross breezes from the water, piazzas are now integral parts of the city's lifestyle."
As Smart moves to Austin, TX, he leaves behind his colonial house for others to enjoy. As the Texan air greets his arrival, much more awaits the new head coach of Texas Longhorns and according to realtor.com, "While the Texas sun is just as hot-probably hotter-the weather isn't the only thing that might have Smart sweating. Expectations are high in Austin, and the new coach has just a few months before the season tips off."
The house of Shaka Smart, "A Sanctuary for the twenty first century", offers its new owners the opportunity to experience a blend of elegance and simplicity that will last a lifetime.
