1200 Barton Creek BLVD #8

A warm, graceful home in one of Barton Creek’s most desirable neighborhoods. Comprising just 60 residences, the enclave was designed to feel more like a village than a suburban neighborhood. Passing through the gated entry, you will wend your way along shady lanes bordered by native vegetation. The home is sited on a bluff right above Barton Creek with a striking view down to the water and across the valley to the rolling hills beyond. Nestled within nature you will feel cocooned and protected from the bustling world beyond. A large courtyard welcomes you to the property and offers an immediate sense of peace and privacy. Inside the warm, organic materials complement the natural beauty outside. Heavy rustic timbers and rich hand-scraped hardwood floors contrast with rugged natural stone accenting the great room. The adjacent kitchen echoes the stone accents and adds subtly colored slate floor that contributes contrast and texture. A wall of windows opens to the covered terrace overlooking the ravine below. Enjoy listening to the birds chirp and the leaves rustle as you dine alfresco on a meal cooked up in the summer kitchen. The serene primary suite also brings nature inside with windows overlooking the treetops, including a corner window in the bath that allows for a verdant view while soaking or showering. Just outside is a secluded plunge pool where you can cool off on a hot day. The main floor also includes a large office/guest suite sunlit by a corner window and outfitted with built-in bookcases, a walk-in closet and bath. Upstairs, a light-flooded media/game room overlooks the living area and offers multiple uses; it can also be closed off with sliding doors and has its own bath and closet. A third en-suite bedroom completes the upper floor; both rooms access a second-floor balcony with stunning views.
