A brilliant design inspired by downtown Austin views and the natural beauty of West Lake Hills gave rise to this hillside work of art, mere minutes from downtown. On a quiet street just off Westlake Drive, this home boasts sought after proximity to the city center, yet is located in a secluded, hill country setting. Peacefully nestled in the trees, an intimate connection with the environment is evident in both open rooms and private spaces. Solar panels reduce electric bills to a pittance and the garage is equipped for an electric car charging station. Perfectly placed windows fill the home with light, embracing stunning hillside surroundings. This home frames its verdant landscape of sustainable native plants in floor to ceiling glass. Architectural design employs clean lines and organic materials to create a sleek but comfortable atmosphere that is the definition of Hill Country Modern. Inside, it is all about light and the control of light. Huge windows welcome the sun of an idyllic southern exposure, yet with the touch of a button, motorized shades create a cooler, more intimate atmosphere instantly. On the main level, warm, light maple flooring anchors crisp, white walls and tall ceilings in two living areas. The open concept floor plan seamlessly joins living and dining areas, where walls of windows capture the first views of the Capitol. The kitchen, with its palette of polished white, warm maple and stainless steel is an invitation to creative or casual cooking with a six-burner Viking range and built-in refrigerator. Two Bosch dishwashers, white quartz counter tops and a very generous pantry signal a serious approach to food prep. An inviting, well-lit study with custom cabinetry and gas fireplace is across from a guest room, also on the main floor. Off the living, an elevator provides access to both the upper and lower floors. Downstairs is a large guest suite/apartment, great for for a live-in or a teenager yearning for their own space. Upstairs are two secondary bedrooms with en-suite baths, and the light- bathed Master, which commands a flawless view of downtown Austin. Opening to a generous covered outdoor space with a wall-mounted TV, the master captures magnificent city views at sunrise and breezy, beautiful evenings made even more magical by glittering city lights. With close proximity to Eanes Schools, as well as easy shopping on Bee Cave Road and Lake Austin Blvd, this home offers the ease of small town living in a big city setting. This graceful, private home is a soothing retreat from urban hustle and bustle. But just look out the window, and the glittering Austin city lights remind you that downtown is close at hand.
