The tour, which is part of the Modern Home Tour, gives residents a chance to walk-through unique, modern homes in Lake Travis and the Hill Country next weekend. The walk-through also provides the inspiration that led to the creation of the homes.

Tourists will be able to see all kinds of unique and stylish homes, including one that was envisioned by Revent owner, John Gioffre and constructed by Revent Builds. Gioffre's home is Victorian-inspired while maintaining "modern building technology for energy efficiency, smart home capability and long-lasting construction materials and methods," according to the home's description.
