Tucked into the forested hills of the Shepherd Mountain neighborhood, this spacious & contemporary home exemplifies stewardship to nature, built to take wonderful advantage of its uniquely sloped and partially wooded nearly-1-acre lot. The property offers generous outdoor living and gardening spaces; and inside, exquisite natural light floods in through abundant windows at every turn. Enter the home & walk through the main hallway, past the formal dining room & dedicated home office with its beautiful French doors, toward the back of the home, where the extraordinary two-story living room opens up to you with breathtaking drama. Three separate decks downstairs offer secluded treehouse feels & multiple vantage points for appreciating nature without leaving the comfort of home. Double-sided see-through fireplace connects the living room with breakfast area, and another fireplace in the generous primary suite adds the cozy factor. Wonderful wide open living spaces include an expansive second floor 'great room' with built-in office nook & a wet bar wonderful for entertaining, leading out to the fourth deck upstairs with panoramic Hill Country views. Additional 3 bedrooms + 2 full baths upstairs. This house is ready for its next chapter; move-in as-is, or bring your designer and give it a refresh, to create the updated private nature retreat of your dreams. Best of both worlds... Located a quick 6-minute drive away from Emma Long Park, where you can relax along the shores of Lake Austin & enjoy the many miles of hiking trails, and 5-minutes to the Pennybacker Bridge to take in the sweeping and iconic views of our beautiful city. Or take a 10-mile ride into downtown Austin, to revel in our wonderful Live Music Capital & the many attractions of this dynamic and thriving urban landscape.
