This French European estate home is a treasure and truly one-of-a-kind. It’s an exceptional property in Northwest Hills, located on what many view as the most coveted and scenic street in the neighborhood, Valburn Drive. The home and surrounding land is a rare find, boasting some of the most beautiful and iconic urban views in Austin. Currently listed for sale at $3.95 million, it is the largest and highest priced home currently on the market in Austin's Northwest Hills.
Surrounded by greenbelt land, the home exudes style and sophistication in the heart of Austin’s hills and was built for entertaining. Driving up, and from the moment you enter, it is overwhelmingly apparent that no expense was spared in materials, craftsmanship or décor to give this home a European flair. This massive home, at more than 9,000 square-feet, has the added luxury perk of having walk-in closets in all five bedrooms as well as a three-car garage.
Upon entry through the front doors, you are captivated by the beautifully appointed great room, with its soaring two-story ceiling and amazing fireplace. It has breathtaking hill country views across the back of the home and off the fabulous terrace which has access from the great room, the gourmet kitchen and the primary suite.
The remarkable gourmet kitchen was completely redone by the current owners and has beautiful quartzite countertops, high end appliances, bountiful storage, and a massive island perfect for preparing meals and serving. A generously sized breakfast room captures the view of the hills. Additionally, there is a large formal dining area with a fireplace. There is a stunning half bath for your guests equipped with an imported antique vanity, antique mirror and gold-plated fixtures.
The Primary Wing is on the main level of the home, which is located on the opposite side of the home from the kitchen and dining wing. It includes a large private office equipped with a fireplace along with a lovely half bath for guests. The spacious Primary Suite is smartly located at the back corner of the home to capture the views providing natural light and privacy. The primary bath is stunning with beautiful antique stained-glass windows, a large soaking tub, separate shower, two separate and spacious walk-in closets, an oversized dual vanity and a dressing area.
The lower level of the home has another wonderful living area plus the perfect spot for a pool table. There is a secondary, fully equipped kitchen with an island, a dining area, a full bath, an exercise room, a secondary office and an incredible storage room that must be seen to believe. Off the lower level living area is the sparkling pool perfectly perched to capture the views. The pool has an outdoor seating area to relax. Off the downstairs living area is a large, covered terrace perfect for al fresco dining. It’s a great space for entertaining.
The third level of the home contains four secondary bedrooms. One of those bedrooms is perfect for a guest suite/nanny quarters/mother-in-law room because it has a separate entry from the garage, an en suite bath and is separated from the other three secondary bedrooms and media room down a private hallway which is an excellent art gallery as seen in the photos. One of the other secondary bedrooms also has an en suite bath and the other two secondary bedrooms share a Jack-n-Jill bath. All bedrooms are spacious and feature walk-in closets.
The media room, located on the third level of the home away from the bedrooms, is situated in such a way that movies can be watched and games played without disturbing those who are in their bedrooms sleeping. The floor plan of the home is excellent and lends itself to accommodating occupants of all ages for comfortable living where everyone has space of their own.
Outside, to the right of the home, is a lovely secret garden spreading out across the 2.244 acres which also has enviable, private views of the hill country. To the left of the home, there is a covered walkway/veranda from the home to the oversized 3-car garage.
