Bridge, ravine offer scenic surrounds for contemporary home

The distinctive street marker and 52-foot bridge crossing over a wooded ravine offer the first look at some of the many features that define this contemporary-style home in Hilshire Village.

Listing agent Mary Kay Casey with Heritage Texas Properties Post Oak Park said the home that is built on a heavily wooded lot, was created by renowned architect Tim Cisneros and has spaces that flow to allow for art and entertainment.

With nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, the twostory home showcases views of the wooded surrounds, and notable design elements. An art glass door leads to the open entry area with ceilings of more than 20 feet and views.

The entry overlooks the ravine and flows into the formal dining room.

The living room has a wall of windows and views of the trees, back deck and ravine as well as the overlook- ing upstairs loft and open walkway.

The kitchen has a large breakfast area, Poggenpohl cabinets, a center island, a prep sink, a glass backsplash and views of the rear patio and glass sculpture.

One of two bedrooms on the first floor, the master suite includes windows bringing in views of the scenic grounds, access to a deck overlooking the ravine, a wall-mounted multidirectional television, access to the utility room that leads to the pool area, and a room-size closet with counter-weight hanging bars, a packing table with storage, a built-in bench and an additional storage area for luggage.

The first-floor secondary bedroom includes a private bath. Upstairs, an open walkway and loft with a bath and closet overlook the living room and provide a great vantage point for indoor and outdoor views; and the third bedroom has art glass and French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the living room.

Other unique features include the hand-carved Venetian plaster walls, custom artist-finished cabinet doors and cast-glass lavatory in the powder room.

With three bedrooms, three full baths and two halfbaths, this home is priced at $2,295,000.
