Set on a pristine 1 acre lot in the coveted Meridian Estates, this custom-built modern Texas ranch blends privacy, luxury, and community. Originally designed and built by the builder for his own family, no detail was overlooked and no expense spared. Expansive windows, tall ceilings & steel doors flood the interiors with natural light and blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, anchoring its clean, contemporary aesthetic. The home features three indoor living areas, five bedrooms, and four and a half bathrooms, including a dedicated pool bath for seamless outdoor access. The main living room features a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves, flowing effortlessly into a chef’s kitchen equipped with premium Thermador appliances, an industrial-grade vent hood, and two additional prep spaces: a wine bar with wine fridge and a generous walk-in pantry/workspace. Practicality meets polish with a large mudroom, laundry room, and oversized, split three-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms (one en-suite) and a cozy bonus living area. Step outside to enjoy over 1,100 square feet of covered patio, complete with a fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and bar ideal for entertaining year-round. The family-friendly pool and negative edge spa, finished in quartz and surrounded by Versailles-pattern travertine and synthetic turf, create a low-maintenance outdoor oasis. Architectural steel accents and drought-tolerant landscaping including olive trees, lavender, and citrus enhance the curb appeal and sustainability of the property. Built in 2017, the home includes high-end automation, Vista Pro landscape lighting, dual-pane Andersen 100 Series windows, and spray foam attic insulation. Ideally located just 15 minutes from downtown Austin and the Hill Country, and zoned to top-rated Baldwin Elementary, this home offers access to Bear Creek Lake and miles of scenic hike-and-bike trails.
