A luxurious estate in the Scenic Oaks community has just hit the market for $1.3 million, offering dramatic architecture in a Texas Hill Country setting.<\/p>\n

Tucked behind a circular driveway and the privacy of mature trees, the 4,619-square-foot residence invites with warm lighting through its numerous windows. Built in 1988, the home conveys modernity through its facade without challenging conventional tastes too severely inside its walls.<\/p>\n

Inside its wrought-iron doors, the home makes a grand impression with soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, extensive stonework, a crystal chandelier and a dramatic curved staircase.<\/p>\n

The expansive floor plan features four bedrooms, three full and two half baths, multiple living areas, a study- home office with walls of bookshelves, a media room, a game room, a loft and a main-level primary suite.<\/p>\n

But the feature that sets the property apart is its indoor-outdoor grotto and pool, enabling swimmers to float in and out of the house at will. Couches surround the grotto inside the house in a two-story, stone-walled atrium. An interior balcony also overlooks the grotto and skylights along with a wall of windows provide additional illumination. <\/p>\n

Outside, the grotto connects to the resort-style pool, which comes with its own in-ground spa and gorgeous hilltop views.<\/p>\n
