Just...This exceptional luxury home in highly coveted Northwest Hills and situated on an oversized .41-acre corner lot, offers breathtaking, one-of-a-kind panoramic views, a stunning pool, and a backyard oasis perfect for entertaining. Perched high above the street in the prestigious North Cat Mountain section of Northwest Hills, this home provides unmatched privacy with huge oak trees creating a natural barrier from the road. Sweeping canyon and Hill Country views extend from both the front and back. Just 15 minutes from downtown Austin, five minutes from the Pennybacker Bridge, a short walk to Bull Creek, and a quick drive to award winning Doss, Murchison, and Anderson schools, this home blends convenience with exclusivity. Mornings begin with coffee on the front porch, where unparalleled sunrise views create an inspiring start to the day. Elegant and comfortable, the interior is as refined as the views, where remarkable architecture and exquisite finishes create a sophisticated yet inviting lifestyle. High coffered ceilings with clerestory windows enhance the ambiance of the main living area, seamlessly blending with the marble façade fireplace and stunning wood floors. A chef's kitchen, both chic and modern, features high-level marble countertops, sleek stainless appliances, and a thoughtfully positioned sink that captures breathtaking views even during everyday tasks. Designed for effortless entertaining, it includes a built-in beverage station, perfect for chilled wine or champagne, as well as room-temperature and cold beverages. The spacious primary retreat features a cozy sitting area, a private deck, a large walk-in closet and a luxurious ensuite. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide comfort for family or guests, while a versatile fourth bedroom or playroom offers extra flexibility. As evening falls, unwind with a glass of wine on the back porch, where the breathtaking view rivals the beauty of the setting sun painting the sky. Drift effortlessly in the pool as the extraordinary colors of dusk surround you, creating a moment of pure serenity.
Surrounded by refined landscaping, this home offers both beauty and efficiency. Paid-in-full solar panels offset the electric bill for much of the year, while wiring for an ADP alarm system provides added security and peace of mind. Conveniently located just a short trip from downtown, UT, top-rated schools, restaurants, and The Domain, this sought-after location offers daily conveniences and outdoor recreation. Lake Austin, just 4 miles away, offers boating, fishing, and swimming. Close to popular dining spots like Chez Zee and shopping at Davenport Village with Austin Country Club just beyond. St. David's North Austin Medical Center is near healthcare needs. Residents enjoy quick connections to live music, cultural events, work, and education throughout the Austin area.
