From award-winning designer Michael E. Nelson comes a stunning addition to our Arts and Crafts House Collection. The welcoming atmosphere of Austin Ridge starts as soon as you drive up with the courtyard entry garage, charming shutter accented windows and large front porch. Each element of the exterior of this house works together to create a charming and inviting home.

Luxury Living

Heading in through the front entryway of Austin Ridge, you are met with the stunning foyer which displays an impressive 12-foot ceiling. To the left and right are cased openings leading into the formal dining room and office. This symmetry is not only eye pleasing, but it gives this home a very luxurious and upscale appeal. Straight ahead, you will pass through the grand hall and into the great room. Here you will also marvel at 12-foot ceilings, this time accented by timber beams. These beams compliment the large masonry fireplace with built-ins on either side and the set of French doors leading to the outdoor grilling porch.

A pass-through with cased openings on either side between the great room and kitchen provides a formal separation of these spaces while also allowing for easy hand-offs of dishes from casual meals held in the great room. This kitchen gives you plenty of counter space for making all your favorite meals and sweet treats. It is also complete with a ton of great features, including separate refrigerator and freezer, double oven, prep sink on the island, ice machine, and a huge walk-in pantry. You will also find a small eat at bar and an attached breakfast room, both perfect for grabbing a quick, informal bite to eat before heading out for work.

Down the grand hall to the left side of Austin Ridge is a guest room with its own private en-suite bathroom and large walk-in closet. The expansive bedrooms 2 and 3 are also located here and share a bathroom between. This Jack and Jill style bath is laid out to allow each room to have their own private sink and toilet while sharing a shower/tub space with a linen closet.

Continuing down the hall from Bedroom 3 to the right, you will find a convenient half bath, a kids' nook or mud room, the spacious laundry room with a sink and counterspace, and the entryway to the 2-car garage as well as to the upper floor bonus room. This bonus room also features a half bath, eliminating those tiring trips up and down the stairs.

Dog/Cat Room: The Room Every Pet Owner Needs

Every dog and/or cat owner knows that having a pet comes with a bit of a mess. Whether that be muddy paw prints or cat litter trails, it is a sacrifice we all make when adopting those furry four-legged friends into our families. While this mess is always going to be a factor, wouldn’t it be nice to have a specific place in the home for those messes to be taken care of so that they don’t affect the rest of your home? The dog/cat room of Austin Ridge is the perfect solution for this! Accessed through the laundry room, this dog/cat room, complete with a drain for easy cleaning and a dog/cat door leading outside, gives you the practical tools and space available to give those little minions the care they need without involving the other living spaces in your home.

Master Suite Living

Making your way back down the hallway to the right of the home, you will find a safe room, as well as the entry to the Master Suite. This luxurious master suite has so many amazing features you won’t know what to show off first. A large masonry fireplace in the bedroom will create a warm and romantic atmosphere during cold winter nights, while the sitting room is the perfect place to enjoy the morning sunrise and a good cup of coffee. Heading into the Master Bath, you will find that no detail was spared. Separate vanities are each located beside his and her walk-in closets. A large glass shower is the perfect place to wash away the stresses of the day. A large section of drawers beside the shower is perfect for all your towels or toiletries. If you prefer a good soak, you can always replace these drawers with a free-standing tub.
