Picture windows frame top of the world views from almost every room of this two story Barley & Pfeiffer designed home in popular Glenlake. High on a hill overlooking a cerebral valley and a ribbon of Lake Austin winding through the hill country, this home sitting on 2.4 acres delights the eye both inside and out. Lovingly updated, the gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home with granite counters, stone back splash, a fancy breakfast bar and a functional island for the chef. Open to the family room and a delightful morning room, gourmands can enjoy the views and family musings. Day's end is a real delight stargazing on the deck around the pool, sipping a margarita on the porch or romancing your sweetie in front of the fireplace in the well designed master bedroom. A separate library provides a place for work or book collection. Artists or guests will love the studio apartment above the three car garage complete with full bath now being used for a creative music studio. This home and its magical setting are waiting for you! If you love nature, you will especially love the setting of this home. Sitting on 2.4 acres and with a protected valley view, residents enjoy a nightly banquet of stars, kaleidoscope sunsets and a myriad of wildlife that play like a movie dawn until dusk every day. Take a hike down the valley to a pristine grotto where maiden hair fern grows around wet weather springs that come to life after a nice rain. There are wildflowers, flint rocks shaped into arrowheads, animal tracks and an old ranch road that meanders along in the view. Just 20 minutes from downtown, this piece of heaven seems miles from the stresses of city life where the din of cars and people are replaced by a symphony of birds and cicada.
