Welcome home to this truly spectacular custom-built home in quite possibly the most desirable section of Timbergrove. True craftsman style defines this home from the large covered front porch, abundant natural light through multiple bay windows and estate-worthy interior finishes. Gorgeous landscaping and POOL in the huge backyard completes the picture, making this home truly worthy of being your home sweet home. Note the solar panels on the roof! Fit & finish meets function throughout this gem!
A double-wide cobblestone-stamped driveway offers plenty of off-street parking and the quiet, no-traffic street means this front yard doubles your outdoor entertainment space. Relax on the front porch swing while the kids ride their bikes down the street or host socially distanced neighborhood gatherings in some Adirondack chairs out front. This location is so ideal that the original owners who designed it are now building across the street!
The elegant backyard featuring a custom-designed heated lap pool and hot tub just off the oversized back porch sets a spectacular stage for outdoor living and relaxation. The studio shed with its own HVAC system adds bonus living space that would make an awesome pool house, private office, or home gym (as it's currently being used). All this and still tons of grassy areas left for kids and pets to play - truly a rare find!
The oversized double front doors open to a 2-story atrium anchored by a beautiful statement staircase and inviting guests into the formals and into the more intimate great room beyond. The brilliant layout features a large formal dining room to the the left and a sunny study to the right that could easily double as a second downstairs guest bedroom (not shown here). 14-ft high ceilings throughout the downstairs and oak hardwoods throughout the downstairs common areas exude elegance & refinement.
The central foyer leads guests into the most beautiful and enormous chef's kitchen with double kitchen islands, a gigantic built-in sideboard, and a light-filled breakfast room leading to the covered back porch. Exposed wood beams, solid wood cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling limestone walls and commercial-grade appliances combine to create the perfect living ambience.
The architectural genius of this one-of-a-kind home impresses at every turn. Twin limestone walls frame the spacious and bright breakfast room overlooking the park-like setting out back. While distinct from the gourmet kitchen featuring its contrasting granite slab central island, the flow is seamless. Beyond the island with bar seating to the right, the kitchen opens to the great room in much the same fashion. 
The heart of the home offers open-concept living with a great room and kitchen that the finest ranch in the Texas Hill Country would envy! Loads of windows allow abundant natural light to stream in, while the stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings provide warmth and depth.
Floor-to-ceiling limestone anchors the fireplace and hearth in the great room, and the custom built-in entertainment center directly opposite the kitchen island is perfectly positioned to invite the entire household to gather together.
The great room opens gracefully to a 675-sq-ft composite back porch. Brilliantly planned and expertly executed, half is covered with exposed wood ceilings, an outdoor audio/visual system, and a built-in sun shade (which could double as a projector screen for outdoor movie night!). The remainder, directly off the great room, provides an open terrace overlooking the pool and backyard. The layout and features make indoor-outdoor living and entertaining effortless.
Coming back in from the covered porch, enter the spacious breakfast with with panoramic views overlooking the great outdoors. Enjoy your coffee or tea with a stunning view every morning without leaving home!
From this vantage point, the efficiency and grace of the floorplan shines. The hallway to the right leads to the primary bedroom suite, positioning the very best features of the home within close reach of the homeowner. The hallway to the left features a gorgeous granite slab butler's pantry leading to the formal dining room overlooking the front porch. The subtle, almost hidden doorway immediately adjacent to the range leads to the mudroom and utility room off the garage entry.
The extraordinary primary suite overlooks the backyard and pool and features built-in reading lights, a master bathroom as large as the bedroom itself and dual walk-in closets.
North and east-facing windows bathe the primary bedroom suite in natural light by day. Custom plantation shutters offer a seamless and elegant solution for filtering light. Note the depth of this bedroom suite, which provides plenty of room for an entertainment or sitting area.
The luxury primary bathroom is a spa-worthy retreat with travertine and marble patterned tile floors, tub surround and floor-to-ceiling shower surround. Marble counters and backsplash encase dual undermount sinks and an extra seated vanity. The oversized walk-in shower features thermostatic body side sprays, a built-in seat, and a seamless glass door. The size of this space is massive, allowing you to lounge in here for hours when you need to de-stress and pamper yourself.
Tastefully appointed soaking tub with european wand invites you to a spa worthy experience including hydrothermal massage jets.
From this vantage point, the layout of the primary bedroom suite can be appreciated. Double French doors open from the bathroom into the private hallway off the kitchen, where the dual walk-in closets are located on either side of the path leading into the primary bedroom. Back in the bathroom, note the private water closer to the left and the gorgeous hardwood linen closet to the right.
Heading back from the primary bedroom suite into the common areas, we enter this chef's dream of a kitchen. TRIPLE ovens and bread warmer, more storage for kitchenware and serving dishes than most castles boast in Europe, this kitchen sets a new bar for chefs and entertainers. The flow of the kitchen invites family and friends alike to gather around with oversized walkways between countertops and islands. To the left is a walk-in pantry and butler's pantry leading to the formal dining room.
The view of the kitchen from the mud room off the garage entrance highlights the contrasting granite slab countertops, warm solid hardwood cabinetry, flooring, and ceiling beams, and the limestone walls. Built-in ceiling speakers throughout the house and recessed LED lighting are just a couple of the upgrades this home offers to the most discerning buyers.
The oversized butler's pantry connects the kitchen to the formal dining room and provides even more storage and prep space. This home truly is an entertainer's dream! 
The elegant formal dining room features a 6-ft built-in column wine refrigerator that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional, offering a 150-bottle storage capacity. A built-in granite slab sideboard provides seamless serving options while also providing a striking gallery-worthy art nook.
The dining room is larger than most, but the best design feature is the open flow into the oversized atrium, providing extra space when those extension leaves come out to accommodate large formal dinner parties or holiday gatherings. 
Heading upstairs, note the stunning views afforded by the two-story light-filled atrium and the intimate entry off the private landing into the central game room upstairs. This view also highlights the massive double entry doors below.
The gameroom is large enough for a full-sized pool table and offers abundant lighting, both natural and recessed LED's. Note the extensive A/V bonus features - built-in speakers, video monitoring, etc. The house is wired for the most extensive automated audio/visual systems you can dream of, and a premium control system comes with the house (though it is not used by the current owners and likely needs updating and instruction from an A/V expert).
From the game room, a bright hallway lined in built-in bookshelves and windows leads to this stunning library and media room. This flex space could be use as another home office too - the possibilities are endless. Bay windows overlooking treetops out front invite you to cuddle up with a good book. Black-out shades accommodate the media room opposite the bay windows (shown in next photo).
The media room features insulated wall panels to optimize sound and offers an ideal getaway to hang out, play music, watch movies, or even take in a virtual conference or lecture series. Homeschooling driving you nuts? This space is a homeschooling family's dream! Need a conference table or space to spread out during long stints of officing at home? This private, noise-controlled bonus space is every family's dream-come-true.
A custom wooden fleur-de-lis medallion centers the media room, and this perspective shows the orientation of the media room and the library framed by bay windows. 
Leaving the media room and library, note the abundant storage for reference or leisure books, records, movies, video games, etc. This custom-built floorplan is a dream for any family's home life, work life and entertaining needs.
First of two secondary bedrooms upstairs offers western exposure for maximum natural light in the afternoons. Both secondary bedrooms upstairs have large walk-in closets.
The Jack and Jill bathroom between the two secondary bedrooms upstairs features granite slab counters and backsplash with double sinks and transom windows flooding the room in natural light. A private water closet contains the walk-in shower and toilet and offers a door to the main hallway as well, allowing non-resident guests on movie nights or game nights access to the bathroom while maintaining privacy for the upstairs residents. 
The second of the two bedrooms upstairs offers southern exposure through the gorgeous double-hung windows overlooking the treetops out front. 
As we leave the second floor, note the orientation of the common areas upstairs - the game room anchors this level with the sunny library and light/sound-controlled media room beyond, the two secondary bedrooms behind, and a large bonus climate-controlled craft or storage room (which also houses the A/V equipment) through the door to the left before the hallway leading to the landing and staircase. High ceilings, plantation shutters, solid-core double-paneled interior doors... the list goes on!
Back downstairs, enter the study off the staircase and opposite the formal dining room to take in the bay windows flooding the the room in natural light through windows on three of the four walls. Spacious and bright, this room would be great for homeschooling as well and its architectural elegance would make a gorgeous formal sitting room. Connected to the secondary bedroom down through a shared full bath, this room could also serve as a playroom or living quarters for long-term guests.
The fourth bedroom is located downstairs off the central corridor and features a private en-suite bath shared only with the study. A large walk-in closet and maximum privacy will make your long-term guests feel comfortable and cozy. For the growing family, this room would be an ideal nursery as it's on the same floor as the primary suite. For multi-generational families, this space is perfect for the older and wiser generation in your family looking for single-story living and some privacy.
The secondary full bath downstairs is fresh and fun with a large walk-in shower and handmade medicine cabinet. A door behind (not shown) opens to the study in front. Offering the ultimate in privacy and accessibility, this downstairs guest suite is a huge bonus feature to this property. Note: this bathroom does not service visitors and non-resident guests, as a separate powder room is located off the central corridor.
The powder room is located off the central corridor opposite the downstairs secondary bedroom suite, convenient to the great room, formal dining, and study. A handmade vessel sink and wall-mounted plumbing fixtures continue the property's theme of fine craftsmanship and a focus on bringing natural elements in.
To orient you to the location of the downstairs secondary bedroom suite, it is located behind to the wall to the right in this view of the great room. Note the gas log fireplace and the immense breadth and depth of this room - large enough to accommodate three full-size sofas and ottomans, but cozy enough to invite you to lounge with a good book or movie. Transom windows above the built-in entertainment center allow natural light in from the eastern exposure.
The back door from the great room opens to the open terrace portion of the back porch, currently used as an outdoor grilling station and dining room. The stairs beyond lead to the backyard, pool, hot tub, and bonus studio. Enjoy culinary treats overlooking the sparkling pool and the beautiful landscaping, host a dance party or outdoor movie night, the options are endless. Gating this area in is also ideal for allowing those little tykes some outdoor free time while maintaining a watchful eye!
This oversized lot is extremely deep, allowing for the huge lap pool while still protecting loads of green space. The small building to the right is the climate-controlled pool house.
The backyard pool house offers a bonus of approximately 250 sf flex space with HVAC and upstairs attic storage. It is currently used by the owners as a gym/yoga studio (sq ft not included in total house sq ft).
As we head back inside to wind up our tour, take one last look at the impressive outdoor living areas. Relax on the terrace overlooking your private pool while catching some rays or cozy up in the hot tub while gazing at the stars at night. Sit by the pool with a good book or host a backyard pool party with ease. The outdoor living spaces are just as impressive as the interior! Take advantage of the opportunity to own a custom-designed and built gem!
Heading up to the back porch, note the well-appointed outdoor living room with recessed lighting, an outdoor TV and mounted audio speakers, and a huge covered patio for lounging any season or weather. Enjoy BBQs or outdoor movie nights with a breeze, change up the scenery when working from home, or host a refined outdoor dinner party. The door on the right leads to the breakfast room off the kitchen, while the door to the left opens to the great room.
One last look at the open-concept family spaces with the great room opening to the spacious kitchen beyond. They truly do not build homes like this very often and when they do, it is a work of art and a labor of love! Limestone columns and walls, exposed wooden beams, custom-milled cabinetry built on site.... none of these are common, even in the finest neighborhoods in town! An architectural masterpiece built with the finest craftsmanship.
