This week, we take you to Austin, Texas, for two luxury lookers that will have you dreaming of summer. With exquisite pools and patios for entertaining, plus prime locales that feel worlds away, these homes were made for living well. Take your pick in our latest Splurge vs. Steal.
Splurge: Santa Barbara-Style Austin Estate With Pool And Terraces Overlooking Bee Creek
Enter our splurge. This eye-catching Santa Barbara style is unlike anything on the market!
First off, it sits high above Bee Creek on a private gated street. Secondly, the four-bedroom, four-full-bathroom home boasts high-end designer touches throughout. And upon arrival, it greets you with a stunning courtyard, compete with water feature and Jasmine vines to set the tone.
Of course, once inside it’s all about gracious living spaces with extraordinary design. But we love the outside, too! It affords numerous covered terraces, a sparkling pool, and inviting spaces for alfresco dining by the fire.
Even better, natural beauty abounds! Towering trees and lush green space add to the secluded feel.
Lastly, this dreamy estate comes complete with a boat slip and fire pit, and rests just minutes from downtown. What’s not to love?
Laura Gottesman with Gottesman Residential R.E. has listed 1855 Westlake Drive, Austin $6.5 million.
Steal: European Stunner With Skyline Views, Professional Interiors, Plus A Pool And Spa
Next up, our steal. For nearly half the price of our splurge you could find yourself in this breathtaking European stunner.
It offers five-bedrooms, five-full-and-two-half-bathrooms, plus incredible views and ample spaces for elegant indoor-outdoor entertaining.
You’ll enjoy soaring ceilings and walls of windows streaming natural light. And for the chef, a kitchen with top-of-the-line Viking, Subzero, and Bosch appliances. We adore the master! It epitomizes rest and relaxation with a gracious sitting area and fabulous spa bath.
Finally, it’s the striking finishes and textures that really add drama to the home. The interiors shine, thanks to designer Heather Bowen who incorporated fabrics and wallcoverings by all the top names. Among these are Brunschwig & Fils, Schumacher, Colefax and Fowler, Lee Jofa, Cowtan & Tout, Pierre Frey, Stroheim, and Osborne & Little. Snap this beauty up!
Charlotte Lipscomb, Agent with Compass has listed 4117 River Garden Trail, Austin for $3.995 million.
