Hidden from the street behind a discreet facade, the home reveals its depth and complexity upon entry, unfolding into a transformative living experience. It is a retreat where intentional design, refined materials and the unique surrounding landscape converge in harmony, creating a portal into a world of tranquil beauty and artful living. The result of a meticulously orchestrated collaboration between architect Tobin Smith, landscape architect Ten Eyck, and the interior designers at Ashby Collective, this home underwent a comprehensive renovation by Dalgleish Construction that preserved the original slab and shell while reimagining every other element. The exterior was redefined with projecting balconies, a soaring double-height screened porch and a cantilevered pool and spa perched above the waterway. Just beyond, your private dock, slip, and boat await, accessible by personal tram and perfectly positioned across from serene parkland. The interior of the home reflects a cohesive vision and impeccable craftsmanship. Custom cabinetry, bespoke built-ins, and tactile richness are conceived not merely for utility, but as works of art in their own right. Designed to support modern lifestyles, the home features spaces that flow seamlessly and balance form and function, creating a flexible environment equally suited for peaceful retreat and lively gatherings. It is a timeless architectural sanctuary where every detail stands as an enduring statement of form, purpose and quiet luxury, and where the natural beauty of Lake Austin remains a constant backdrop to daily life.
