Nestled on nearly half an acre with sweeping hill views, including distant views of downtown and Lake Austin, this custom Ash Creek home blends craftsmanship, comfort, and modern elegance while being surrounded by lush woods and mature trees. Meticulously updated over the years, it offers approximately 2,700 sqft of living space plus a 430 sqft finished flex area that is perfect for a man cave, home office, art studio, home gym, or media room with its own half bath. Step inside to discover architectural character throughout: coffered, vaulted, trayed, and boxed ceilings; 6-inch plank hardwood floors; and Low-E double-pane windows that frame stunning views and bathe the interior in natural light. The versatile upstairs loft with a full bath and its own deck is ideal for guests, a second living area, or a creative escape while gazing at your view. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece with custom cherrywood cabinetry, oversized island, dual ovens, warming drawer, and extensive accent lighting. A massive picture window overlooks the trees and beautiful deck. The expansive primary suite features a fireplace, a spa-inspired bath, and an oversized 240 sq ft walk-in closet complete with its own washer/dryer and some hidden surprises. Enjoy over 1,100 sq ft of composite decking that invites outdoor entertaining under the stars while enjoying the wildlife of the surrounding woods and Balcones Canyonland Preserve from an elevated height. A dog door with access to the deck and a fenced dog pen makes it easy for four-legged family members, too. This well-maintained home has a brand-new roof (September) and new paint throughout. It blends high-end finishes with thoughtful design, offering both comfort, sophistication, and unmatched character in one of Austin’s most desirable locations.
