1301 Ridgecrest Drive, Austin, TX 78746 US Austin Home

For ultimate privacy, this zen like home is hidden away behind lush jasmine groves and through an elegant trellis entryway flanked by paver retaining walls. Pattern stamped concrete walkways, white gravel landscape sections, stone/metal sculptures, and the breathtaking vistas of West Lake Hills’ Toro Canyon create a wonderful visual backdrop for the home.
 
The entryway, grand room, dining room and library all boast recently installed Thomasville Mahogany hardwood floors. The grand room has been extended out to take in dramatic canyon views and features a high vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and a wall of high efficiency low-e (UV block) windows that fill the room with natural light. The library has beautiful wood work and built-ins. The spacious kitchen has ample counter space with an island and large sunlit breakfast area that looks out over the pool and canyon. A UV blocking skylight was recently added, and updated appliances include: KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer, convection oven, microwave and island cook top. A door off of the breakfast room provides convenient access to the covered patio, deck and pool for easy entertaining.
 
With plenty of space for peaceful relaxation, the large master bedroom features a private sitting room with walls of windows which give the feeling that you are sleeping in the tree tops. A perfect personal retreat! The wall of windows looking out over Toro Canyon are all UV blocking. The impressive master bathroom has been recently remodeled with granite counter top, dual glass vessel sinks, spa style deep jetted tub and walk in shower.
 
The entire interior and exterior have recently been repainted and 3 kW photovoltaic solar electric panels were added in 2009, for an average savings on your electric bill of 20% per month.
