Description
A rare find---this stunning home, designed by acclaimed modern architect Max Levy, is hidden away in a premier location in bucolic Bluffview. Sited on a heavily treed .6+ acre lot on Wildwood Road, this custom gem was positioned by the architect to capture light, air, and privacy. The lush exterior envelops the house. Materials such as Arizona sandstone, Texas limestone, and mahogany are found inside and out. The almost hidden driveway leads to a wood battened metal front door which opens into the spacious foyer with expansive art walls and windows. The floor plan was designed for ease of living and entertaining. The beautifully equipped mahogany paneled kitchen opens to the great room which is anchored by the large central fireplace, and the adjacent dining area. Large handmade custom windows showcase the wooded front yard. Expansive glass doors open to the back patio, grassy yard, and guest house/studio. Towering magnolias and native trees create walls of privacy. A first floor bedroom opens to a screened porch and patio, and is joined to a second bedroom by a Jack and Jill bath. The serene corner study has wonderful views over the front wooded grounds. The primary suite with fireplace occupies the entire second floor. A tranquil second story porch overlooks the trees. Italian granite countertops and honed marble floors accent the primary bath. Light permeates through numerous windows. The guest house/studio enjoys the same special vistas of the trees and greenspace. An attached garage is located conveniently off the mudroom and kitchen office. Flexible space downstairs includes excellent wine storage. 4712 Wildwood Road is an exceptional collaboration of acclaimed interior designer, Carol Hermanovski, and Architect Max Levy. Levy has been called the “poet laureate” of Texas architecture by Mark Lamster, architecture critic of the DMN. He is the recipient of numerous accolades & awards. His genius is in creating timeless modern homes that are minimal yet warm & relate to the nature that surrounds them. In this very special home, he has certainly succeeded.
