Welcome home to this stunning castle in the treetops! Extensively remodeled in 2016 in timeless style, this home fully embraces its incredible natural surroundings. Exquisite hardwood floors made from native Texas mesquite take center stage, complemented by the extensive use of Austin Limestone in graceful archways and lighted niches. The kitchen is especially designed to impress, with custom alder cabinetry, nineteenth-century Dutch tile insets, and other authentic Old-World accents. Above the oversized island is a true statement piece in the form of a glass-fronted floating display cabinet. The main living areas feature soaring ceilings, exposed cedar elements, and full-length windows. Step out onto the enormous wraparound deck to take in the full view the dramatic slope down to the limestone draw, and enjoy your morning coffee while watching and listening for deer, foxes, owls, and songbirds within the lush mix of mature oak, elm, and cedar.
This is a dream home for entertaining, featuring a wine refrigerator, multi-room audio system, and twin coat closets in the entry. Evenings here are especially beautiful and relaxing, with thoughtful ambient lighting choices inside and out. Three stone-surround fireplaces add to the ambience and provide an exceptionally wonderful gathering place during the holidays. Possibilities exist for a multi-level deck to further enhance the outdoor experience for entertaining. In addition to the four bedrooms and downstairs study, a spacious upstairs bonus room can be used as a game room or studio, or possibly converted to a second master suite. This one-of-a-kind statement home also features a concealed walk-in safe, irrigation system, and remote-operated blinds. Northwest Hills is one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods, with deer ambling gracefully under the shade of soaring heritage oaks, while a wide array of acclaimed schools, shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences can be reached within minutes.
