Designed by Merzbau Design Collective and built by Melde Construction, the home offers skyline views, treetop serenity, and sustainability. The home unfolds with a sculptural staircase that leads you to a shaded terrace. Inside, a steel-framed staircase rises through all three levels, filtering light through expansive windows. White oak floors bring warmth, while a residential elevator adds ease. The middle floor features two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and a living area with a cozy fireplace and built-in entertainment system. A screened-in porch extends the space, blending indoors with nature. Outside, the peaceful backyard offers sun-drenched terraces and shady nooks across the sloping hillside, ideal for lounging by the pool, entertaining, or quiet mornings. A tucked-away corner awaits your zen garden, adding to the calm. At the top, the heart of the home is the kitchen, centered around a 13-foot quartz island with custom cabinetry and top-tier appliances. Multiple glass doors open to a covered dining area, offering stunning views of Lady Bird Lake and downtown Austin"”vibrant by day, twinkling by night.
