All about indoor / outdoor living, this absolutely STUNNING 4/4 contemporary with negative edge pool + casita (lives like a 5/5) on 4.525 acres on the edge of Jonestown will delight the most discerning buyers. The European-inspired design details throughout this expansive 5,283 sqft free-flowing space distinguish this home as special & inspiring. The pool courtyard, with a wrap-around shady pergola, is the focus point of the home layout with all spaces having direct access to the courtyard through large sliding doors.
Walls of sliding doors flood the interior of the home & kitchen with light & provide an open view of the courtyard pool & surrounding hills. The main ceilings are 10’ and the foyer/dining room 14’ – 16’. 90% of the home is single story with one full suite downstairs.
The driveway climbs a moderate hill off of W Reed Park Road with a flat landing pad midway ready for your workshop or extra garage. When you pull into the parking area at the top of the drive, the first thing you will notice is the art deco blue doors. This circa 1930 gate at the breezeway is 700 pounds of pig iron originally from Paris, France. The owners found this treasure in Galveston and it was previously in a home that was destroyed during hurricane Ike.
The casita is two steps from the main house & open to the courtyard. This beautiful space could serve so many purposes from home office to studio to in-law to private guest space. While under the same roof, this separate space has it’s own independent entry, kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath for optimal privacy.
