Not just a home - an architectural statement. Impeccable craftsmanship and detail, traditional design and tasteful accoutrements combine to create an ambiance of relaxation in this old-world courtyard villa.  Strikingly bold and sophisticated, this 2009 completed home consists of 2,831 SF of living area (GCAD) with 3 bedrooms/2.5 baths.  As you arrive at the front of the home, enter the 300+ SF courtyard thru custom-made wrought iron gates and a lighted niche.  Located on the south side of the home, what a wonderful place to take in the long range views overlooking Fredericksburg as you are protected from the north breeze on those fall and winter days and evenings.

The setting of the home is along the NE boundary of the development, this location provides a backyard neighbor consisting of a 150+ acre ranch where the primary residents are known to come by and pay a visit on a daily basis.  Romeo, a longhorn steer, a small herd of Angus cattle and lots and lots of deer will entertain and amuse you with their antics as they roam the ranch.  The almost 800 SF back patio with stone flooring provides you with the ideal vantage point to take in the show and enjoy the Hill Country view.   Just off the patio is a natural gas outlet for your grill.  All the exterior walls of the home are limestone, trim is all Hardi board material and roof is dimensional composition shingles; copper chimney and front window trim accent the home's details.

Access to the guest bedrooms from the rounded entry foyer takes you to the cleverly designed hallway doubling as a study with several built-ins including a desk with window overlooking the courtyard.  A shared bath has double vanities with Kohler portrait sinks, huge shower with travertine and porcelain tile, two showerheads and frameless glass door.  Being at the far end of the home and away from the gas water heater doesn't mean you have a long wait for hot water as a re-circulation water pump keeps it readily available.  Both bedrooms have large walk-in closets.
