This classic, elegant facade attracts great interest and the interior gives way to a host of unexpected visual treats offered by few homes in this prestigious Austin neighborhood. Rich parquet and wood plank flooring, elegant moldings, paneling, built-ins and ceiling details, two striking fireplaces, a bank of vintage windows, original pocket doors, lovely chandeliers, and much more. The pine paneled office with built-in desk, book shelves and file drawers is sure to inspire anyone working from home. The square footage is spread very evenly throughout the house with generous, light filled spaces to accommodate a crowd or host an intimate few. The well-appointed gourmet kitchen features a six burner Dacor Epicure Range with two ovens, large vent hood, built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, two dishwashers, two sinks, and a large island with breakfast bar. The kitchen flows directly into the family room with a sizable breakfast room to the side. A previous porch is now a glassed in morning room. The highlight of this amazing space is the wall of windows across the entire back of these rooms, with sweeping panoramic views overlooking the Shoal CreekTrail that make you feel like you are in a treehouse--nothing short of your own private sanctuary. A very well-done primary bedroom suite on first level has french doors opening to the views and leading to a deck and the back yard. The primary bath features marble counter tops, two sinks, frameless glass shower, soaking tub, and his/hers walk-in closets. The spacious upstairs game room is rarely found in a home of this vintage, and that game room's french doors open to a spectacular roof top deck with breathtaking views. The secondary bedrooms are exceptional with one previously two separate rooms and could be restored to make a total of five bedrooms. One secondary bedroom was reimagined into a home office but could easily be converted back to a great bedroom. the last bedroom has a lovely window seat plus an ensuite bath.
