There is a certain ease to life on Winter Park. Mornings begin without the usual Austin calculation. Some of the most highly regarded schools in Texas are close enough to walk to, downtown is approximately seven minutes away, and yet home feels comfortably removed from the pace of the city. Less time in the car. More time at home. Comprehensively remodeled by an experienced contractor and design team, 1908 Winter Park pairs the warmth and architectural character of an established Westlake home with the refinement of a modern luxury residence. Original wainscoting, paneling and detailed trim remain, complemented by new Andersen windows, natural stone countertops, custom cabinetry, designer lighting and hardware, and beautifully integrated panel-ready appliances. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, with separate closets and a bath featuring heated floors, steam shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, private water closet and beautifully concealed storage. Custom organization and generous walk-in storage throughout make everyday living effortless. Upstairs, a large second living area offers another place to gather or unwind. Open the doors to the balcony and sweeping Hill Country views become the backdrop for morning coffee or watching the Texas sky change color at sunset. Downstairs, the kitchen and entertaining spaces flow toward a custom wet bar with handcrafted brass shelving. Outside, an outdoor kitchen with dual grills and sink overlooks the pool and waterfall, while landscape lighting transforms the property after dark. A gas-fed, wood-burning fireplace creates another natural gathering place on cooler evenings. There are houses that photograph beautifully, and there are houses that make life better, this home does both. A fully realized home in one of Austin’s most desirable locations, where exceptional schools, downtown, Hill Country views and the quiet luxury of having everything already done are all part of everyday life.
