Resting on the bulk of one acre, the residence is tucked away from the street and atop a plateau commanding a majestic view of downtown Austin and the Wild Basin, creating a private retreat all unto itself. Follow the gated drive to the top, which opens to a compelling view of the northern profile of the house, where Native Texas limestone walls extend from the road to the second story exterior facing. There, be greeted by a cascading waterfall from the negative edge pool, followed by a drive under a steel-framed passage created by the main terrace extending over the driveway. Arrive at a pleasant courtyard and find a 3-car garage to the left and the inviting main entrance to the home on the right. Step into the gracious, 2-story barrel-ceilinged foyer which leads to a spacious formal dining room on the left and a gracious formal living room on the right with sweeping views of the Wild Basin. Move into the great room that opens to the main terrace, complete with a bar and wine cooler. From here, the contemporary hill country design carries harmoniously from the living room all the way through to the gourmet kitchen, the sitting room and the outdoor spaces where aesthetics and function are equally at home. Distinguished by an intuitive understanding of materials, the natural interest of stone, cedar and hardwoods create a natural kinship to the Texas landscape surrounding the home. Its well designed living spaces have the flexibility for every lifestyle and occasion. With 2 stories, 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and approximately 7,000 square feet, the residnece is built in an �open arm� shape, with the pool and spa, as well as an outdoor kitchen, in the central courtyard. The west wing has entertaining and communal space on the first floor, with three ensuite bedrooms and a laundry on the second floor. The eastern wing is a private retreat with the master suite and office on the first floor, and an additional guest suite, home theatre and game room on the second floor. The master suite includes two enormous closets, a utility room, a full bath with spa-like shower, a tub with downtown views and its own private terrace and fireplace. Throughout the home, French doors open to outdoor terraces and lofty ceilings create gracious living spaces for family and guests. The unobstructed views are spectacular, allowing all to enjoy the beauty of the open sky and the ever changing patterns of light on the hills below as well as the urban beauty of the downtown Austin skyline. Extraordinary and unique. Synthesizing and contrasting the beauty of nature with urban sophistication, this home is available to the discerning buyer.
