Beauty and Design Brilliance – the Best of What Lakeway has to Offer
This home is situated on a quiet, heavily wooded 0.324 acre lot with Escarpment Live Oak, Flaming Sumac, Yaupon and Texas Persimmon in beautiful Lakeway. Imbued with details and exceptional southern charm, this home is anything but ordinary! It’s rare to find a home that embodies efficiency and harmony of space but the designer, and original owner, masterfully created a unique expression of movement from the inside out with the livable interior spaces flowing outward into the livable exterior spaces. The interaction between the indoor and outdoor areas creates a tranquil and secluded feel to this truly exceptional home.
Live in Harmony with Nature
The courtyard provides both acoustical and visual privacy from the street, allowing the garden to be a place for meditation as a lush refuge while also providing an ideal space for gardening and entertaining. The front yard uses local, flat top, limestone boulders for retaining walls and is planted with sustainable, drought tolerant native species including Buffalo Grass, Little Bluestem, Scarlet Sage, Mexican Feather Grass, Bayberry, Twistleaf Yucca, Nolina Lindandheimeriana, Agarita, Stonecrop Sedum and Rosemary.
The unique layout to make efficient use of square footage extends across the 3,208 conditioned square feet of both the house and studio apartment. There is a sense of airiness that flows from room to room with 45 windows throughout, 10’ high ceilings downstairs and 9’ ceilings upstairs. The floor plan is beautifully proportioned beginning with the 42” wide front door and transom and a custom staircase that splits the 2 levels.
A Master Suite with Retreat Style Amenities
The master suite is filled with soft neutral tones and wood accents to accentuate the charm of this majestic southern style home. The master bath is equally charming with tumbled travertine tile lining the double vanities and large walk-in shower with its integral bench. Treat yourself to a relaxing spa by turning on the hydrotherapy tub. The custom design elements are endless with more sets of custom French doors opening to the 8’ x 52’ long balcony. More upgrades include the redwood baluster railing, beadboard ceiling and sustainable plank flooring.
The bedrooms are just as impressive, each with walk-in closets and built in shelving units. In the front, second floor bedroom, your guests will feel compelled to pull back the custom draperies, open the French doors and admire the captivating hill country views from the Juliet Balcony.
A Perfect Match of Traditional Design and Modern Function
The kitchen is made for a family who loves to entertain with a gorgeous center island, butler’s pantry and adjacent dining room to make hosting a breeze. The Shaker style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, tile backsplashes and stained concrete floors add high style to an already sophisticated residence.
Every room is designed for beauty and function. Whether it’s sitting in the living room with a glass of wine next to the wood burning fireplace with its custom wood mantle, bronzed tile surround and granite hearth or having a cup of tea in your favorite reading chair in the library. This library has 144 lineal feet of custom built-in shelving with space to display your books and favorite mementos.
From the main house you’re only a few steps away from the separate studio apartment, all while being protected from the rain and sun with a covered breezeway which is lined with custom ribbon steel lattices. The additional living space at the studio apartment features a full bath, kitchenette and 126 lineal feet of built-in bookshelves making it an excellent space for a guest suite or home office.
Flawless Integration of Aesthetics and Efficiency
Every detail is meticulously planned including the passive solar design and the unique structural footprint to preserve the natural topography, mature trees, complement the prevailing Southeast breezes and minimize exposure to the hot western sun. This home was built with interior architectural lighting to optimize the light quality, combined with its window placement to capture natural light from all directions. Value-added technology features include an intercom system, Cat 5 interior wiring and pre-wired security alarm system. You’ll appreciate the design for efficiency and energy conservation as evidenced by the $152 average monthly utility bill!
