Wow! Amazing home, built in love by Nathan's own hands, with a spectacular view of Lake Austin, a 5 minute drive to the private park guests can walk with a special pass. When we first walked in, sunshine was streaming through the high windows onto the gold foyer walls leading up the stone staircase. As we continued exploring the second floor balcony, master bedroom with colossal bathroom and custom kitchen, up to the 3rd floor on the most aesthetically appealing tree branch/rock staircase I've ever seen, we ended up dancing with joy on the 3rd floor balcony - the view, complete with freshly budded baby green trees and explosions of wild flowers framing the lake took our breath away. You will never want to leave the balconies - the sunrise greets you in the morning, and there is a gas grill, deck games, quality table and chairs and lights lining the balcony for evening star gazing. As the 12 of us, aged 5-80, were there for a family wedding at Zilker Clubhouse, we never even took advantage of the beautiful fenced backyard draped with lights, climbing trees, sandbox, kid toys and smoker/fire pit. Great storage closet in the master bath we used to hang clothes, keep our bags out of the way and to change in. Kitchen had plenty of wonderful dishes, serving platters for our family parties and final brunch. Loved having a frig and pantry full of spices, condiments, and assorted items. We left some cash to replace things we used and had forgotten to buy. Nathan was SUPER responsive to all of my emails/requests; we felt right at home and I would describe the spirit of his place as loving and calm. My only concerns were that I'm glad none of our family had bad knees or falls from the stairs! I personally loved the additional daily workout I got from running up and down! The Austin Hill Country and businesses on the drive to his place was phenomenal, 5 minutes from great shopping and more unbelievable vistas, I had no idea how beautiful Texas could be!!! Blessed to have been a guest in Nathan's home. Our entire family was impressed and so happy; we all agreed this was 100 times better than staying in hotel rooms!
