Stunning, resort-style outdoor living in desirable Barton Hills. Perched high above Barton Creek, the backyard has been transformed into a terraced wonderland for swimming, lounging and entertaining. Floating in the stone-surrounded pool which overlooks the lush creek valley feels like bathing in nature. Outfitted with all the amenities, the pool has a volleyball setup, waterfall, hot tub and even a swim-up bar. Serve drinks in the outdoor kitchen pavilion where you can also grill up dinner for your guests. Surrounding the water, a stone patio features a seating area and fire pit. Located 1.6 paved miles from Zilker Park, your home can be the hub for ACL events or exploring the new restaurants popping up along Barton Springs Road. If you're feeling adventurous, you could even trek down the street to a Barton Creek Greenbelt trailhead. The Lady Bird Lake Trail and downtown are walking or biking distance as well. The interior offers plenty of space to start the party, with two large, window-lined living areas overlooking the terrace, pool and lush valley below; a double-sided fireplace warms both rooms. Guests can stop for a drink at the convenient step-in bar on their way outside. The large skylit kitchen is outfitted with Viking appliances and plenty of storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, a large hobby or playroom provides additional space for life's messier pursuits and can be shut off for privacy. The main floor also includes a formal dining room and an office/bedroom with a closet and full bath. A dramatic curved staircase rises to the upper level, where two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The striking primary suite has been doubled from its original proportions, adding a large, windowed sitting area overlooking the valley. An equally large deck is accessible off the primary bedroom and offers an incredible view of the UT tower and a glimpse of downtown. The updated bath features a custom-tile steam shower, soaking tub & walk-in closet.
