Overview
Description
Nestled on a spacious double lot overlooking a peaceful canyon and wet-weather creek, this exceptional custom home offers privacy, distinctive architectural details, and endless possibilities. The expansive backyard provides ample room for a future home addition, swimming pool, sport court, or guest house, creating a rare opportunity to customize your own private retreat. Inside, soaring ceilings accented by exposed wood beams, walls of windows, custom lighting, hardwood floors, wood-cased windows, and thoughtfully designed built-in storage create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The open-concept floor plan is ideal for entertaining, offering generous gathering spaces that flow seamlessly into an oversized island kitchen featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant workspace. The main-level primary suite includes an adjoining sunroom, providing a peaceful retreat that could easily serve as a music room, art studio, or private sitting area. Distinctive spiral staircases lead to secondary living spaces, including a private bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a charming loft, offering flexible accommodations for family and guests.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with expansive decks and a covered patio featuring a magnificent stone fireplace, all overlooking the secluded backyard and surrounding natural landscape. These inviting spaces provide the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquility of the property. Ideally situated within walking distance of a private Lake Austin waterfront park, residents enjoy access to exceptional neighborhood amenities, including a boat ramp, swimming pool, sport court, and lakefront beach.
Combining architectural character, generous outdoor space, and access to Lake Austin recreation, this remarkable property captures the essence of relaxed Austin lake living.
