CONTEMPORARY HILLTOP RETREAT 

Contemporary hilltop retreat in the heart of central Austin. This home is designed by architect, Hugo Leipziger-Pearce in 1948 for use as his private residence. In 2003, the home was renovated by an Austin architect, Don Harris. Harris added the second story and changed the entrance location as well as making several additional improvements to the property. The home has a total of five bedrooms, three baths, one living room and two dining rooms. The fifth bedroom and third bathroom are located in the separate guest quarters on the lower level. The guest quarters has a private entrance and kitchenette and can be used as a home office, nanny's quarters, or for traditional guest accommodations. The property is surrounded by mature trees and framed within the original limestone wall. It features beautiful wood casement windows, polished concrete floors, Berber carpet and bamboo flooring.

The gourmet kitchen has basalt and stainless counter-tops, stainless GE Profile appliances and fabulous light. The flex space off the kitchen can be used as a dining area, yoga studio, home office or children's playroom. With floor-to-ceiling windows and treetop views, this space is peaceful and romantic. The second-story master suite opens onto a private Ipe roof deck. The bathroom hosts a Kohler Tea-for-Two jetted garden tub, separate shower with body sprayers and rainwater shower head as well as full-length mirrored closet.
