This magnificent architectural masterpiece in the highly sought-after 78746 area of Austin/Rollingwood/Westlake epitomizes the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Designed by award-winning Alterstudio Architects and built by Abode Homes, this residence was brought to life with personalized interiors by Breathe Design Studio. The striking exterior showcases sleek, contemporary lines with warm wooden slats contrasting against darker materials, harmonizing beautifully with the lush, mature trees and a majestic oak that lends an air of enchantment to the property.
Upon entering, you're greeted by dramatic yet inviting interiors that balance light and airy spaces with dark, moody accents. Rich walnut tones and luxurious textures in shades of navy and emerald green create an intimate, romantic yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout the home. The open-plan lower level features a spacious second living area with floor-to-ceiling, site-glazed windows that connect seamlessly to the outdoor pool deck and garden, a versatile room that can be used as a bedroom or a stylish home office, and a chic bathroom. An expansive walk-in closet on this level, currently used as a yoga room, offers both ample storage and potential, adding to the allure of this luxurious space.
Suspended elegantly in the dining area, is a captivating iconic Gino Sarfatti design. It serves as an ultra-modern representation of the traditional mid-century chandelier, adding a timeless touch of sophistication to the space.
The French wide white oak flooring that flows through the living and dining rooms adds warmth and continuity, while the kitchen is a culinary sanctuary. It boasts custom walnut cabinetry, a Leathered granite waterfall countertop, and an Imported Italian green backsplash, combining functionality with exquisite design. The kitchen is also equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf gas range, making it perfect for both everyday cooking and entertaining.
The Alterstudio designed stairway leads to a thoughtfully designed second floor, where a cozy sitting area with a half wall of bookcases overlooks the first floor, offering a quiet retreat. This level also houses two additional bedrooms and bathrooms, providing ample space and comfort for family or guests. The main bedroom suite, located at the back of the home, is a private sanctuary with a walk-in closet, a luxurious bathroom, and another sitting area, making it a perfect retreat within this stunning residence.
The backyard is an oasis of calm and luxury, with the pool serving as the centerpiece, surrounded by meticulously landscaped greenery and strategically placed outdoor seating with a fire pit. The clean architectural lines of the home are mirrored in the garden's design, creating a harmonious balance between the natural and built environments. As evening falls, landscape lighting enhances the serene ambiance, making this backyard ideal for both daytime relaxation and evening gatherings, truly embodying the essence of luxurious living in one of Austin's most coveted neighborhoods.
In the words of the home’s interior designer, Christine Ho: “Our mission is to design interiors that tell stories of comfort and belonging. We believe that every detail should function well, even if that function is to bring joy.”
