Some of the most spectacular views can be found in this timeless Cat Mountain residence, perched high up on Mountain Villa Drive. The home’s excellent original floorplan (dual primary bedrooms 1-up/1-down) was designed to maximize the forever views of Lake Austin, Hill Country, and beyond. This solid, well cared for home is a wonderful opportunity to add your personal style and create a cherished forever home. A graceful circular driveway, framed by magnificent Texas Oaks sets the stage for what lies ahead. The covered entrance and large double doors welcome you into a dramatic two-story foyer with an elegant, curved staircase. The foyer connects the formal dining room, main living room and separate den/office in this open and timeless floorplan. Gorgeous extended-length parquet flooring is found throughout the home. The kitchen is perfectly positioned with access to the formal dining room and just off the main living room. A window-filled breakfast area makes the kitchen seem even larger and offers more incredible views. Granite counters and a very functional island provide ample counterspace for entertaining or family meals. The owner has updated the appliances over the years, including a Bosch dishwasher, Miele convection oven, Thermador microwave, KitchenAid refrigerator with in-door ice and water, Kohler dual-basin porcelain sink and a Jenn-Air cook top with downdraft direct venting. A large pantry is Costco ready with its floor to ceiling shelving. The living room flows off the kitchen and is anchored by a wall of oversized windows that look out to the expansive deck and endless views. A floor-to ceiling brick fireplace (wood burning with gas starter) is flanked by wonderful display shelves and even more cabinet storage. A large TREX style deck spans the entire width of the home and provides amazing outdoor living options with jaw-dropping views. The main-level primary bedroom is a wonderful space with newly installed carpet (month/year) and large windows that take advantage of the views while also providing direct access to the deck. The primary bath has an enormous soaking tub, separate walk-in shower and dual vanities. A large walk-in closet is fully organized and includes built-in cabinetry and drawer storage. The second primary bedroom located upstairs could also be used as an additional living room or even the ultimate kids’ playroom. An ensuite bathroom and walk in closet complete this flexible space. In addition to the second primary suite, there are a total of three bathrooms on this level along with two well-proportioned bedrooms (one ensuite) and a wonderful, paneled study that could easily be a fifth bedroom. A dedicated laundry room is conveniently located off the kitchen and includes a utility sink and even more storage. The 2-car direct access garage has epoxy floors and an updated LiftMaster WiFi garage door opener with battery backup. Gutter guards have also been installed on the home for ease of maintenance. St. Theresa’s School is just down the street, Highland Park Elementary is just a 6-minute drive, Lamar Middle school is 8-minutes and McCallum High School is 10-minutes away.
