Behind the gates of the beautiful Uplands Community is the ultimate sweet spot for family living on a wooded cul-de-sac that once hosted the Parade of Homes where builders introduced their most extraordinary floor plans and settings. This home is designed to showcase a wish list of luxurious and compelling features at every jaw-dropping turn. Light spills in from every angle as the entry reveals an unparalleled view out to a sparkling paradise of pool, hot tub, fountains and a covered entertaining area that hosts a huge projection TV and room for a crowd. A palapa-style outdoor kitchen under a thatched roof houses all that is needed for family and friends to gather on sunny pool days and a large living area focuses on a fireplace for cool evenings. Every season can be celebrated in this inviting outdoor fantasy world and privacy is ensured by the sheer size of the homesite at just under 3/4 of an acre. Cool ivory stone floors anchor the two story living room lit by huge windows and reflective white walls. Working from home is easy in the very private study housed in the primary bedroom wing. The expansive dining room just off the entry will accommodate a large number of guests. Of course the kitchen is equipped with all a demanding chef or occasional cook might want. Double Dacor ovens and induction cooktop partner with a built-in refrigerator and plenty of prep space to meet any culinary challenge in a beautiful setting with views of the inviting back yard. Rich stained wood stairs with white risers lead upstairs to a haven of large bedrooms and baths with another living area. Light, open spaces and private corners to call their own makes this a perfect family home and the dreamy outdoor play area will make it hard for kids to ever leave. Even though it feels like a secluded setting on a cul-de-sac that backs to protected areas, this home is 20 min from DT and very few minutes from Whole Foods, HEB and most anything else needed.
