900 Pedernales Oaks Dr

Description

Come see this custom home built to be in harmony with the oaks, a quiet retreat with many green features. The grounds feature raised garden beds and a beautiful variety of native plants. The owner is an accomplished artist with works in many public spaces and created many of the architectural elements and finishes in the home including the decorative metalwork around the cistern, the glass with images built into the primary bathroom window, the metalwork in the screen doors in the breezeway and more. This art conveys with the purchase of the home if they buyer desires or can be retained by the owner. The home is open and colorful with abundant natural light that streams through skylights and the lovely natural wood windows. The breezeway is both functional as a living space and offers separation between two distinct bedroom wings (or bedroom and studio/workspace). The home is highly energy efficient and built with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), prefabricated building panels that integrate framing and insulation into a single, high-performance construction system. They consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings. The home is built to be extremely well insulated and therefore features easily adjustable ventilation ports to allow fresh to enter (the round metal hardware at ground level throughout). The community park is a short distance from the end of the driveway and offers yet another retreat and a way to greet the friendly neighbors in the community. Enjoy views of the Pedernales and an island in the river with a bridge to the park.
