As you enter this Italian inspired masterpiece built by Roberto Kenigstein, the dramatic entry leads you past glass windows and doors allowing light to flood into this home. The honed marble floors incorporate intricate patterns adding to the subtle yet dramatic details. Your eyes are drawn outside towards the infinity pool,and you experience views that culminate into a beautiful meeting of the home and hill country sky. The formal dining room evokes the family life that occurs here, and invites you to long, gourmet dinners while serving wine from the custom wine cabinets. Here you start to notice that the ceilings in each room have different architectural elements. Throughout the home, outside spaces catch the eye, extending views out from the core of the house in many directions. The kitchen recalls those of stately Italian houses, reconciling traditional construction elements with classical detailing such as the arched windows and walls. Opening to the family room with the focal point on the fireplace, the owner has the opportunity to while away the hours, swap stories with close friends, or elegantly entertain a group. Views from the family room and kitchen showcase the private and sprawling two acres. Here, the pool, veranda and gardens become important elements, extending the family life outdoors. The mastersuite with it's simple geometric shape looks out onto the covered veranda and pool creating a calm space in which to enjoy the quiet. This leads into the spa inspired master bathroom with details consistently reinforcing the design vision of the Italian villa. The guest bedrooms, all with private baths, are pleasantly arranged to contain privacy yet convey a sense of informality. The outside facade, with a play of stone against stucco walls, a sloping clay tile roof and scrolling Italian details, adds the finishing touches and gives promise that this home has truly achieved the perfect balance between an Italian villa and the Texas Hill Country lifestyle.
