1906 Airole Way, Austin, TX 78704

Rarely does a spectacular work of architectural art come available on a large tree-studded lot in one of the most desirable neighborhoods: grounded in history, exquisitely designed and well-built. What started as the remodel of an A.D. Stenger mushroomed into a new project, inspired by the original architecture but executed as a complete new work. Handmade encaustic tile memorializes Stenger's design in a bit of architectural archaeology, but otherwise every wall and finish is new. Scale and proportions are sophisticated, distinguishing the home from lesser counterparts. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the central space, defining the living room as separate from the kitchen, with clerestory windows all around. The master suite has a private deck and spa-like bath. Roof deck above offers panoramic views of the Barton Creek Greenbelt. An elegant palette of materials: Carrera marble, travertine, Post Oak floors, cold-rolled steel, custom cabinets, European fixtures. Home as Art!
