1930's American Style in Heart of Rollingwood
Surrounded by native trees, this exquisite hand crafted home is under construction on a prime lot in the heart of Rollingwood.
Built by respected, long time Austin builder, Buzzy Woodworth, this home combines old fashioned fine workmanship with elegant design. The over 5,800 square foot plan includes formal living and dining areas, family room, library, gameroom, and study, plus four bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully designed and built home in one of Austin's most desirable and accessible neighborhoods - the charming city of Rollingwood.
On the front, an elegant stone terrace opens the formal living and dining areas to the outdoors for fabulous entertaining, and on the rear, a spacious outdoor room with grill and fireplace is perfect for family gatherings. Two laundry areas, MUD room, huge unfinished storage/expansion area, and three car garage add to the livability of the home.
Finishes include wood beams, wide trim and baseboards, wood windows, French doors with transoms, and quarter sawn oak wood floors. The outdoor terraces have stone floors and wood clad ceilings.
You'll love this warm, wonderful kitchen! The generous breakfast area, functional design, Craftsman style cabinetry, granite and cut stone counters and top quality appliances make this a great kitchen and gathering place for the whole family. Step outside for easy access to the covered rear terrace and outdoor dining room.
Opening to a view of the backyard, the master is a regal retreat with fabulous bath, complete with furniture style vanities, framed mirrors, stone floors, huge seated shower and coffee bar.
The small city of Rollingwood is a sought after neighborhood just minutes from downtown, Lake Austin and Zilker Park. Mopac (Loop 1) is just a minute away with great access to north and south Austin. The central park offers play areas, ball fields and a meeting place for community Easter Egg hunts or July 4 celebrations. Rollingwood is an active community with citizen participation in city government, women's club and voluntary neighborhood association. Shopping, theaters and restaurants are nearby.
The private Western Hills Athletic Club (known as the "Rollingwood Pool") is nearby, offering swimming, tennis and a game pavilion for children of all ages.
