Rollingwood, Texas Home - 101 Vale Drive.

Fabulous Contemporary in Rollingwood

Built by respected Austin architect, Duke Garwood for his own family, this home is warm, stylish and a sanctuary of comfort. It fits perfectly into the natural landscape in a unique, private corner of Rollingwood. Yet it is only minutes from downtown.

The open style, with rooms that flow outdoors, is ideal for entertaining.  A beautiful new pool, with patio and play area, is underway!  This is Austin living at its finest!

The 5,800 square foot plan includes formal living and dining areas, family room, gameroom, and study, plus five bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths. In addition, the large flexible space upstairs can serve as an office or guest quarters. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully designed one-of-a-kind home on the western edge of the Zilker preserve, in the sought after city of Rollingwood.

Finishes include pecan, mesquite, concrete and stone floors, granite and stone in kitchen and baths, wood windows, and generous glass areas open to the outdoors. The outdoor terraces are Brazilian Mahogany with cable wire rails.

You'll love the richly appointed kitchen, with craftsman style mahogany cabinets, granite counters and top quality appliances. The large serving bar, convenient to indoor and outdoor dining areas, makes this central part of the home perfect for parties and entertaining.

This home utilizes many green building and quality construction techniques. It was featured in the Austin American Statesman.
