Resort-style living in Woods I of Barton Creek, in this custom-built Michael Deane home, on a lush, tree-covered lot backing to greenspace. Built in 1999 and updated between 2021–2025, this refined home blends timeless design with modern luxury in a highly desirable Austin location. The home lives like a spacious single-story with an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. Enter through a stately Cantera iron door into a dramatic foyer, leading to elegant formal living and dining spaces, all with views of the backyard retreat. The main level includes 4 large bedrooms, 3 full baths, powder room, cozy library/study, and a flexible living space currently used as an office.

It opens to a sunlit family room with vaulted ceilings and Hill Country views. Upstairs, a private fifth-bedroom suite includes its own bath and living area—perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or an au pair. Recent luxury upgrades include wide-plank European white oak flooring, marble tile, updated bathrooms with Kohler fixtures, a refreshed primary bath with soaking tub, Visual Comfort lighting, LED conversion, and two new Trane HVACs. Smart features include Lutron lighting, integrated sound, security cameras, automated locks, and a Tesla charger in the epoxy-finished 3-car garage.
