Evening is when this residence makes its case: landscape lighting washing up through 40-foot oaks, the heated gunite pool and raised spa glowing behind a covered stone terrace, and a yard screened on every side by mature canopy. Set on a 0.523-acre corner homesite inside the gated Uplands in Bee Cave, this 4,016-square-foot home by Drees Custom Homes has been held and maintained by one owner, then updated with restraint, the finishes chosen to last rather than to date the house. Four bedrooms and 4 full baths are arranged across two levels, with the primary suite on the main floor and its own sitting room, a quiet second space for a desk or a morning chair. Four living areas and two dining areas give the plan genuine flexibility: a paneled study behind built-in bookcases and a coffered ceiling, a great room anchored by a fireplace and open to the kitchen, an upstairs game room, and a tiered media room with wet bar. The floor plan was drawn around the water. Kitchen, breakfast room, family room and primary bedroom all face the back yard, so the pool and the tree canopy stay in view from the rooms used most. The kitchen was built for people who cook: island, granite counters, breakfast bar, built-in ovens, walk-in pantry, and a rear-facing breakfast area that catches the late light off the pool. Past the glass, the back yard is the argument, with stone terraces, native landscaping, a waterfall spilling into the pool, an integrated gunite spa, and lighting designed to keep the whole space in use after dark. A 3-car side-entry garage keeps the streetscape clean. Location does real work here: Lake Travis ISD with Lake Pointe Elementary minutes from the gate, HEB and the Hill Country Galleria a short drive, and quick access to both Bee Cave Road and TX 71, putting downtown Austin and the airport about 20 minutes out. HOA dues are $978 annually. Arrange a private showing near sunset, when the trees light and the water turns, and the residence explains itself without help.
