Everyone needs their sanctuary and 1213 Falcon Ledge Drive is a true retreat-like home that feels like living in a tree-house. Tucked away from the street and surrounded by nature, this incredible late 70s modern home with a cross-gabled metal roof draws you in at the bold Japanese-inspired entry and a seating area surrounded by boulders, grasses and custom steel screens laden with jasmine and cross vine. The robin's egg blue double-wide mahogany front door opens onto a light-filled entry with walls of glass and an astonishing view of what feels like your own private greenbelt. The current owners are creative professionals who have lovingly and diligently cared for and updated the home, transforming it into something straight from the pages of Dwell Magazine. Move-in ready with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, a two-car garage, and a recently constructed modern 280 square foot detached office, creative space or studio, all sited on .51 acres. This home is perfect for entertaining with a thoughtful, open layout. The expansive yard is gated and fenced-in with winding stone pathways, custom-cut Texas Leuders limestone walkway to the front door and steel hardscaping, groves of towering oaks and elm, and colorful seasonal blooms attracting hummingbirds and butterflies.
