Some homes have a view. This Cat Mountain home was designed to live with one. Expansive windows stretch across the back of the home framing extraordinary Hill Country views and filling the living spaces with natural light. Outside, seven decks and multiple outdoor living areas invite you to experience the setting from different perspectives --- from morning coffee among the trees to evenings when the sky comes alive with spectacular Texas sunsets. Recognizing just how special the setting was, the sellers worked closely with interior designer Betty Shaw to thoughtfully reimagine the home around it. Walls were opened, spaces redesigned and sightlines enhanced creating a casually sophisticated home that feels warm, welcoming and deeply connected to the outdoors. Set on approximately .37 acres, the 3,193-square-foot home offers four bedrooms, including a flexible upper-level bedroom currently configured as a home office, 2.5 beautifully remodeled bathrooms, and open, light-filled living spaces. At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances thoughtful function with distinctive design anchored by a one-of-a-kind island crafted from an antique boxcar. The primary suite embraces the setting with expansive views and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub positioned to take in the sunset. Approximately $620,000 was invested in renovations and improvements including the extensive interior remodel, metal roof, replacement windows, renovated landscaping and hardscaping, refreshed decks, pergola and screened porch. Custom touches include a wine closet, fireplace screen and tools, motorized shades and built-ins giving the home character without feeling formal or fussy. The result is a home where every detail feels intentional, yet nothing feels overdone --- equally suited to quiet everyday living, entertaining and simply taking in the surroundings. And always, your eye is drawn back to the view. Come for the home. Stay for the sunset.
