AWARD-WINNING ARCHITECTURAL STUNNER
The Bridge House, featured on the 2017 AIA Home Tour, was remodeled by award-winning architects Furman & Keil and was the highlight of the tour last year for its mix of contemporary architecture and livable design. Located in convenient Rollingwood, the property feels incredibly secluded considering it is less than five minutes from Mopac to the east and shopping and restaurants to the west. With over 1.16 acres of lawn and trees surrounding the structure, you’ll feel at peace the moment you arrive home.
SOARING SPACES AND LUSH VIEWS
The soaring main living area feels a part of the landscape with the steel-beamed vaulted ceilings and matching windows seamlessly connecting the covered porch which overlooks a sleek, negative-edge pool and the woodlands beyond. The most arresting feature is the suspended, glass-walled bridge connecting the main living area and the master bedroom; floating above a ravine it is a magical place to host an elegant dinner party and provides a serene gateway to the cool, calm master suite.
With plenty of space for both entertaining and family activities, the floor plan includes four additional en-suite bedrooms; one features a set of built-in bunk beds and another is located on the opposite side of the house for privacy. An upstairs game room provides family and play space away from the more formal areas. Opening to the lawn on the lower floor is a huge exercise room with a full bath. With the luxuries surrounding you, you’ll never want to leave home.
SLEEK MATERIALS AND LUXURIOUS DETAILS
The materials throughout were selected by another renowned local firm, Wendy Williamson Design, to complement and enhance the view. Cool slate floors in the living room ground the space and contrast with exquisite walnut grain-matched cabinetry that is replicated throughout the house. Steel-framed windows are complemented by a custom iron railing on the entry staircase; each light fixture and wall finish are selected to enhance the space. The European-style chef’s kitchen is flooded with light from floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights and features a large quartz island, walnut cabinetry, a double refrigerator, wine cooler and wet bar. The overall effect is calming and luxurious with a strong sense of nature.
