Enjoy Austin at your doorstep and your own oasis at home! The space A HOME WHERE EVERY SQUARE FOOT WORKS This classic single-level Austin limestone home has been transformed through years of inspired remodeling. With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a detached studio, it combines artistic character, clever use of space, and the comforts of a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed. THE KITCHEN: WHERE ART MEETS FUNCTION The kitchen is as artistic as it is practical, designed for people who love to cook and entertain. Rich emerald-green cabinetry with brass hardware, glass-front display cabinets, and dedicated spot lighting complement sculptural white 3D geometric tiles and textured gold accents. Marble-look porcelain flooring brings the design together. Generous granite countertops provide ample workspace, and the gas range with a double convection oven sits beneath a premium FOTILE range hood whose drop-down panel captures smoke and steam. A dishwasher, trash compactor, and breakfast bar complete the space. One of the home's most creative transformations is a former hallway, now a functional extension of the kitchen. A long countertop beneath a handcrafted raw redwood shelf features an integrated Legrand lighting and electrical system running its full length. Place a coffee maker, blender, or other appliance wherever it's convenient, with power accessible along the counter. Illuminated upper display cabinetry and tall pantry cabinets provide additional storage. The kitchen opens into the living area, while a separate dining room comfortably seats ten. Automated, dimmable lighting throughout the home and outdoor spaces allows you to set the mood for any occasion. COMFORTABLE BEDROOMS AND A PRIVATE STUDIO The primary suite features a coffered ceiling, sliding barn doors, and an en-suite bathroom with a glass walk-in shower and vessel sink. The detached studio offers a separate, light-filled space with hardwood floors, a vaulted beamed ceiling, built-in shelving, a wall of windows, and its own mini-split air conditioning. It's ideal for working remotely, exercising, reading, or enjoying a quiet moment away from the main house. A BACKYARD WITH ITS OWN PERSONALITY The outdoor spaces are the heart of the property, designed with distinct areas for relaxing, dining, cooking, and gathering. A sculptural gabion stone wall, inspired by Hokusai's The Great Wave, guides you from the front garden into the secluded backyard. At the center, a multi-level composite deck surrounds a heated swim spa integrated flush with the decking. Enjoy a refreshing swim, aquatic exercise, or a hot-tub-temperature soak. The spa's automated cleaning system helps simplify upkeep. Above the deck, a custom structural beam anchors sweeping shade sails, creating the distinctive silhouette of a sailboat. Beneath them, shaded dining and lounging areas offer comfortable places to spend the afternoon, while a turf lawn provides room for yoga, games, or relaxation. As evening falls, the backyard takes on an entirely different character. Carefully positioned lighting illuminates Moroccan tiles along the retaining wall, casting a warm glow across the landscape and creating a memorable atmosphere after sunset. AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN BUILT FOR GATHERING Directly accessible from the living area, the covered outdoor kitchen features a custom steel structure finished with red tile, a ceiling fan, sink, and two grills. The natural-gas-connected grill makes outdoor cooking convenient, while the Kamado Joe ceramic grill, complete with accessories and a pizza-making setup, is perfect for everything from slow-cooked barbecue to homemade pizza nights. An outdoor shower and mosquito misting system add convenience to the outdoor experience. GARDENS AND EVERYDAY COMFORTS Mature live oaks shade the front yard, where stepping-stone pathways, a patio, and a three-tier terraced garden create a welcoming arrival. A dedicated planter on the deck is set up for growing herbs and vegetables, while xeriscaping helps keep landscape maintenance low. The home also includes a washer and dryer, central heating and air conditioning, room-darkening shades, smart-lock entry, and driveway parking.
