Presenting a private listing in the always desirable and quaint Watersmark community.  This gated enclave includes 60 residences and is surrounded by the Fazio Foothills golf course and the bluffs overlooking Barton Creek. Nestled in the woods, Watersmark represents privacy, security, convenience and a distinctly different feel from other Barton Creek neighborhoods. A caretakers cottage hosts a property manager at the entrance, and once inside the gates there are treed lots and winding quiet streets. Homesite #40 is a one of a kind residence with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and nearly 4400 square feet (exact determinations will be reflected once the floorplan is measured). The living areas, kitchen and bedrooms are situated on the main floor, with an upstairs entertainment area and climate controlled storage room, so the home basically lives as a single story. The home exterior was constructed using native Texas materials, meticulously cut and installed to showcase the natural beauty. This superior construction can be viewed from the front porch as you approach the home entrance.  Past the entrance foyer is a sophisticated powder room with black leather walls and crystal. In the Family Room, your eyes will be drawn to the 28 foot ceiling design with visible wood planks adding a rustic and dramatic aesthetic. Tall windows along the back wall showcase views of the canyon and limestone bluffs. A two-way stone fireplace and hearth adds architectural interest and ambiance to the Family Room with the added benefit of viewing flames to the adjacent kitchen and dining area. The flooring throughout most of the main floor features unique, large-stone format slabs with exceptional veining patterns, another example of the high quality craftmanship. The dining area has large-stone format detailing on a few accent walls with ac vent grilles cut into the stone for a seamless and blended appearance. A “His” and “Hers” office arrangement is included on the main floor for those who work from home. The oversized executive office has a vast working area between two separate built in workstations on opposite walls. The Kitchen and Dining Area is situated on the other side of the stone fireplace, with many windows showcasing views of the canyon and greenery. The Kitchen layout is designed to take advantage of the views with upper cabinetry paned with glass to enable the scenery to be visible. Three levels of varying window heights add visual interest and ensures visibility of the canyons. High quality appliances include a 6-burner gas range with copper vent hood, double ovens, a trash compactor and built-in refrigerator. A large center island will no doubt be a gathering area for guests. The adjoining Dining Room has a Wet Bar with multiple wine refrigerators as well as a full size second refrigerator to meet all of your entertaining needs. The Master Suite is sizable, with 15 foot ceilings, allowing space to create a sitting area or workout area. The direction facing the canyon views has a wall of windows and there are additional sky windows along the adjacent wall to create a bright, airy space. The Master Bathroom is also sizable, with a soaking tub and oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads. The Master closet has a separate cedar closet to store those valuable special belongings. As you head on upstairs, you’ll find a large entertaining area, or flex space to use as you wish. This space boasts 25 feet cathedral ceilings , another stone fireplace and hearth, and is sure to impress your visitors.  Outdoor living is important when living in Watersmark, and this home provides multi-level outdoor terraces to take in the canyon views and limestone cliffs. An outdoor grill and stone fireplace are a must with the main level providing cover for seating and furniture. A lower level terrace is another area to create seating and as you navigate down there is wrought iron fencing that borders a small yard area, perfect for pets.  Beyond the perimeter fencing, there is a trail that permits direct access to the Barton Creek stream. This very special home is coming soon!
