The 2,294-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom dwelling harmoniously blends indoor and outdoor living spaces to enhance its wooded surroundings.

Concealed from the street by a Texas limestone privacy wall, the inviting front courtyard visually connects to the backyard deck, swimming pool, and guest house through frameless windows and expansive pocket sliding glass doors.
