Austin Contemporary

September 30, 2011

Howdy ya’ll!

For some reason I just felt like going to Texas today.

Austin especially.

Hill Country most definitely.

So join me to see a spectacular contemporary home set high on 5 acres overlooking the gorgeousness that is Texas.

And there’s a pool!

Great landscaping here to welcome you in.

Get ready to see loads of limestone quarried just a few miles away.

This home was built in 1981, and I love the open floorplan.  I assume it’s been updated since then.

Dining room..

Kitchen.

Love the vista and the light-colored cabinets.

I wish, wish I had another shot of this island art.  Is it a photo??  Is it a painting??  I’ve never seen anything like it.

Have you?

Opens directly to the family room with those gorgeous built-ins.

(Sorry, I’m contemplating re-doing our office/library and all I can notice anywhere is cabinetry.)

Love these huge, Texas-sized windows too.

The family room – interesting how those windows start at the ceiling – no wonder there’s so much light.

Very, very cool staircase.

Master Bedroom with a fireplace for those crisp Hill Country evenings.

Master Bath.  Love all the cabinets.  (sorry, couldn’t help myself)

Office.  I love offices built out of nooks in the stairways.  That way, you’re still part of the action, but tucked away a little.

I. So. Want. This.

(with a pool floatie)

Ha!  You can see the stellar family window jutting out there.

I think I’d need a bigger table – we’d be here for ALL of our entertaining and family meals and holidays.

Um, gorgeous!!

So what was your favorite room?

Have a great weekend!!
