Modern Design Private Retreat - Minutes from Downtown 29 Pillow Road stands apart for its privacy, lot size, living nature at the door, 11-15 minute drive to downtown Austin and even less time to South Austin eateries and shopping. And all this before one follows the leuder stone pathway into the front door or walks the green wonders surrounding all sides of the property. This modern oasis, sometimes called the "Collector's House," is the refined modern design of A Parallel Architecture. The cantilevered elegance of the home floats above a gently sloping pastoral 1/2 acre lot, embellished by Heritage Live Oaks and native plantings. The two storey house is situated below street level providing exceptional privacy, while enjoying walls of glass and light throughout. The design consists of two perfectly complementary gables with 24' soaring high ceilings that invite sunlight through a massive steel ridgeline skylight and walls of glass. Organic building materials juxtapose architectural lines balancing form with nature, creating the perfect setting to appreciate natural beauty, entertain and relax. A luxurious primary bedroom rests on the first floor in the rear of the home, peacefully calling to the landscape with native plants and plays of color. A first floor library offers an intimate place to unwind and two additional upstairs bedrooms have treehouse views. The heart of the home is an open cook's kitchen with a massive stainless-steel island, surrounding quartz counters and custom cabinetry. The kitchen boasts high-end appliances including a built-in Miele coffee/espresso/latte machine, a prep sink and a generous sized pantry. The light filled kitchen with overhead 18' x 6' skylight is an ideal opportunity for family and friends to cherish this idyllic masterpiece. The living room has expansive windows, punctuated by a glowing gas fireplace and custom cabinetry. The room flows into a large IPE deck surrounding a serene blue plunge pool. A backyard sanctuary entices with lush plantings and gardens, highlighted by the unique formality of Japanese gardens with connection to wild native Texas plantings. Note: 11 minutes drive to downtown, 14 minutes to ABIA airport, 2 minutes to Central Market, and 500 yards stroll to the trails of the Sunset Valley greenbelt with its abundant animal life. You will feel a world apart from Austin's urban fabric when on Pillow Road with its horse corrals and quietude, yet somehow right in the middle of everything! Pool and Landscape Maintenance included. New LG washer dryer combo and 65" Panasonic family room TV provided. Monthly cleaning service inside home.
