This truly unique home is situated on an over half acre lot with absolutely gorgeous trees and an amazing amount of privacy. And that’s only the beginning…. Stunning views from every room. The way the home is sited on the lot—facing the canyon wall over Bull Creek—gives the effect of a private sanctuary. And from the air the home literally looks like it’s about to take flight across the canyon. After it rains, you can hear the creek roaring in the background. There’s nowhere or nothing like it in Austin. The home is a metaphor for the swinging 60s—and it’s perfect for Austin in the 21st century. Floor to ceiling glass throughout floods the home with light. Soaring ceilings and the floating fireplace with its 12 person dining area wow guests as they enter the main living room. Rich materials including lava, terrazzo, and fossilized limestone mingle to stellar effect. The bar, the master bedroom, the multiple living and dining areas are all a masterful interpretation of the best of mid century architecture brought to Austin long ago. The builder of the home loved the idea of resort living in Palm Springs and Vegas in the 1960s. He was a prolific homebuilder in the Northwest Hills, but he saved the best lot in the area for his masterpiece. The post and beam architecture is dramatic and unique but it’s still perfectly livable and not fussy. The outdoor areas were completely overhauled by the current owners in 2010—torn out and literally rebuilt by famed Austin landscape architecture firm Root Design Company. Because the kidney shaped pool was designed in the 60s for the home, it was replicated and improved. Ipe and glass cantilevered decks hang over the lot for more expansive views of the canyon wall. Secondary yards and patios are just as lovely with a koi pond and a dramatic wall of black bamboo.
