9401 WINCHESTER ROAD, AUSTIN, TX 78733

Set on almost a third of an acre in Austin Lake Hills, this red brick home sits on a gently sloped lawn with trees and flower beds. As a designer's personal home, every surface, fixture, and material has been renovated, balancing luxury and comfort. A dramatic front entry immediately captivates, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The grand staircase is a statement in itself, while the dining room is perfect for hosting dinners or intimate celebrations. French doors lead to a private office, which has a closet in case a 5th bedroom is needed. A full guest bath adds a designer's touch to this space. The great room spans the back of the house, flooded with natural light. The kitchen is centered around a generous island with soapstone countertops and top-of-the-line plumbing fixtures. Walls of herringbone tiles serve as a backdrop, while a custom pantry, double oven, coffee niche, and six-burner induction stove ensure both function and beauty. An oversized window over the farmhouse sink offers a perfect view of the backyard. The laundry room features a butcher block counter and built-in cabinetry, leading to a custom tiled mudroom with a wall of storage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a light-filled retreat. The en-suite bath has been completely remodeled, featuring a seamless glass shower, double vanity, Visual Comfort lighting, and high-end finishes. A large walk-in closet with shelving and mirrored doors provides ample storage. The additional bedrooms are equally well-appointed, with gorgeous windows, window coverings, and spacious closets. A fully remodeled upstairs bath boasts statement tile and designer-selected materials. At the end of the hall, a huge game (or bedroom) room sits tucked over the garage. Outside, the flat backyard features a dining patio, a sitting area, a built-in brick fire pit, raised garden beds, and a tranquil fountain. The best part of this home, however, is its setting--tucked away in a private neighborhood with no through traffic.
