12201 Musket Rim St, Austin, TX

Warm, view-filled contemporary home in always-desirable Spanish Oaks. Set below the street, the site offers privacy in front while the back opens out to a spectacular vista of rolling hills, wooded ravines and a lush greenbelt. Luxurious outdoor living spaces will draw you out to splash in the negative-edge pool, grill up a meal in the summer kitchen while admiring the view or enjoy a nightcap around the alfresco fireplace. The one-acre lot includes a large lawn area for play plus lush native landscape for exploring.

Inside, dramatic steel windows allow light and views to flood into the double-height living and dining rooms, which are separated by a striking, open-flame gas fireplace. The sleek gourmet kitchen offers European cabinetry, an oversized island and plenty of storage. Host sophisticated events, serving guests a beverage from the glass-enclosed wine cellar before they wander outside to marvel at the koi pond and enjoy the breeze. A second living area is set up as a media room and offers multiple options for both entertaining and quiet time. The main-floor primary suite enjoys its own gas fireplace, double-height windows, and direct patio access; a sumptuous bath opens to two oversized walk-in closets, both with custom storage and windows.

At the top of the steel-railed stairs, a wide catwalk overlooks the living areas and gives a view out over the hilltop; a cozy treetop study nook provides space for reading or homework. The second floor hosts two en-suite bedrooms plus another office that opens to a spectacular, private patio; with its own bath it could also be repurposed as a guest bedroom. Additional luxuries include a two-car garage with RV spot plus another single garage and street-level parking for guests. All the amenities of Spanish Oaks are yours to enjoy, from the miles of walking and biking trails to the sparkling pool and pavilion. Add a Golf Club membership for world-class golf, tennis and more.
