A Legacy Home, Reimagined for Modern Living: Some homes have stories worth telling. Built in 1982 by renowned builder Buddy Dryden as one of the first in the coveted Bee Cave Woods enclave, this nearly half-acre estate was hand-selected by its original owners for one reason: unmatched privacy wrapped in towering mature trees. Now, thoughtfully reimagined by the family's youngest son, this sanctuary honors its heritage while embracing contemporary luxury. Tucked on almost a half an acre of tree-covered serenity, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers a rare urban escape. It delivers both seclusion and proximity. Barton Springs, Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake, and DT Austin are mere minutes away. Its transformation brought designer finishes; waterfall island kitchen with quartz counters, mirrored backsplash, custom cabinetry, and stainless appliances. Vaulted, beamed ceilings soar above the living room, creating dramatic scale. Beyond, a glass-lined screen porch extends your living space into nature. The primary suite feels like a private sanctuary with tongue and groove tray ceilings, access to the sun porch, huge walk-in closet, and a spa-caliber ensuite with a walk-in shower. A versatile fourth bedroom at the front of the home works beautifully as office or guest suite. But the true showstopper? The backyard. A magical canvas beneath towering heritage trees, this expansive lot offers endless possibilities: envision an outdoor oasis, vine wrapped pergola, guest casita, pool house, sport court, or lush gardens. The space is yours to dream. Award-winning Eanes ISD. Google Fiber.
