Welcome to 3600 Balcones Drive, an impressive and unique family home nestled under vintage oak trees. Situated in a peaceful neighborhood, the 0.83 acre gated lot offers both privacy and room to roam. The home draws charm and character from natural surroundings and is served by four distinct outdoor areas.
Upon entry you are greeted by a two-story grand foyer with floor to ceiling windows. As you move through the home, you will find three thoughtfully designed living areas. The first floor den with a wet bar, room for a billiard table and large sofa, is anchored by a fireplace for a cozy night at home. Sliding glass doors seamlessly connect to a large covered porch and the pool area.
Upstairs, the formal living and dining open to a screened-in porch, creating an intimate and peaceful setting to gather with family and friends.
The kitchen great room is the heart of the home. The chef inspired kitchen is complete with two extra large islands, double ovens, beverage and wine refrigerator drawers, a Scottsman ice maker and connectivity to a patio with a built-in grill and firepit. Wall to wall windows and skylights create an atmosphere reminiscent of the most luxurious tree house one could imagine. Suspended over Barrow Brook Creek, this unique room provides a serene setting surrounded by nature and flooded with natural light.
The luxurious primary suite overlooks the creek and pool area and features one of the four fireplaces the home has to offer. With a separate workout studio space, two walk-in closets plus a hidden cedar closet and double vanities, it is a true retreat. Adjacent to the primary suite, the home office has classic style floor to ceiling built-in cabinetry and access to the backyard.
Four secondary bedrooms in the home, three with ensuite bathrooms, provide room for family and guests to spread out and unwind in style. Additionally, a detached guest room offers a private retreat for guests or live-in relatives with its own bedroom, bathroom and separate entrance.
Located behind a privacy gate, the inviting circular driveway and detached three-car garage offers ample room for auto afficionados to amass a small collection. It is also ideal for shooting hoops, yard games and riding bikes.
The focal point of the backyard oasis is a sparkling heated pool, spa and cabana. Lush landscaping and manicured lawns frame the outdoor space, creating a peaceful retreat in your own backyard.
Whether you are lounging poolside, entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquility of your surroundings, this exquisite home offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, privacy and convenience for modern living.
