Austin, TX 78738 (Travis County)
About this property
This home keeps a few surprises behind the bookcases. Set on just over an acre in the Texas Hill Country, the 2,792-sqft layout offers long-range views and plenty of reasons to spend time outside. The main level opens beneath a vaulted, beamed ceiling, with floor-to-ceiling windows letting the rolling landscape do most of the decorating. Two sliding glass doors flank the fireplace and open to the covered upper deck, making the view part of the room rather than something you only notice from a window. The kitchen brings its own personality with custom cabinetry, a brick backsplash, quartz counters and an oversized breakfast bar where guests can gather without crowding the cook. Positioned in its own corner of the home, the primary suite looks out across the hills through wide picture windows. The ensuite and large walk-in closet provide plenty of functionality, but the real twist is hidden behind a Murphy-door bookcase inside the closet: a private office with space for a concealed safe. A 2nd main-level bedroom has its own ensuite, giving guests privacy without sending them downstairs. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms are connected by an unusually large walk-in closet, while another bookcase swings open to reveal a media room made for movie night. Outside, two levels of covered decks make full use of the setting. The upper deck features a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting and an oversized fan, while the lower patio adds artificial turf and a cowboy pool for cooling. A detached garage has been converted into a game room, giving the pool table, darts and louder gatherings a building of their own. An attached two-car garage and driveway parking for four more vehicles make hosting easy. Shopping and dining are approximately 2 miles away, with golf at The Hills and Falconhead about four miles out and lake access roughly six miles from home. Between the views, hidden rooms, wraparound decks and a game room with its own address, ordinary never really had a chance here.
