Masterfully updated mid-century architecture fuses with playful color and design in this fully rebuilt Tarrytown home. Taken to the slab in 2020 by award-winning CG&S Design-Build, it was thoughtfully re-created with a vision for clean lines, bright open spaces, and contemporary luxury. Situated on one level over a sprawling 0.417-acre flat corner lot with no deed restrictions and minutes from downtown Austin, this is a very special find.
During the reconstruction, the entire exterior envelope was reinsulated for energy efficiency. New electrical and mechanical, new plumbing, new Trane systems, and a tankless water heater with an anticalcification system kicked off the project. The ceilings were opened up and vaulted slightly, and a metal roof with solar panels and energy-efficient skylights was installed. Walls of floor-to-ceiling dual-pane windows offer calming views of the backyard pool.
A Control4 system fully automates the house, including audio, shade operation, temperature control, and more with the touch of a finger. Cat 6 and a full wifi mesh network ensure that signals are always strong. Biometric locks on doors, cabinets, and closets secure the things that matter most, and ring outdoor floodlight cameras provide 360 degree security.
A centrally-located “safe room”, fully encased in cinder block, provides security and peace of mind. A recently drilled working water well powers irrigation, and could be purified if a backup water supply were needed.
Inside, show-stopping oversized picture windows flood the foyer with natural light. Playful color choices pop over hickory hardwood floors and clean white cabinetry. Mid Century-inspired terrazzo tiles harmonize with the original fireplace and interior brick entry wall. Bold patterns peek out in accent wallpapers by Anthropologie, Ann Sacks, and Wall Shoppe.
The kitchen features a Wolf Range, SubZero refrigerator, and a stainless steel Miele appliance suite that includes a built-in espresso maker, speed oven/microwave, and a Uline Beverage Center. Two dishwashers! - A Fisher Paykel drawer and a Miele. An extra full-size refrigerator in the mudroom and a deep freeze in the back storage room offer ample space to stock for holiday gatherings and entertainment. No detail is overlooked.
In the primary suite, two bedrooms offer space for varying schedules. A custom-designed closet between them shines with illuminated clothes rods and glass-encased cabinets that help keep wardrobe selections dust-free. Relax in the award-winning primary bath, where home automation features invite you to set your shower to the ideal temperature and shave with a perfectly fogless mirror. Or, relax in the deep soaking tub designed for comfort.
Two secondary bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, complete with walk-in closets and lighted vanities on either side.
A craft/media room with blackout shades and special lighting, a home office with a built-in desk and cabinets, a true mudroom with extensive storage, and a pool bath easily accessible from the outside finish out the east wing of the house.
In the backyard, a heated pool with an automated cover beckons. Towering oaks dot the lush lawn.
Unmatched beauty and sophistication, right in the heart of Tarrytown. Featured in Tribeza and Austin-San Antonio Home Design & Decor Magazine. Impervious cover limits allow for addition of a casita/ADU. Renderings attached.
