FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

This house should win an architectural award for its use of materials to create a mood. It “feels” like a Texas hacienda that has been in the family for generations.
The home unfolds beautifully as you walk through the front door. Most house designs are predicable, not this one, we call it a rustic contemporary, with a noticeably high ceiling—17 feet at the high side with continuous windows allowing tons of natural light throughout.
You may love this home from the moment you swing open the front door––spilling out in front of you are the original quality polished oak floors.
Next, you will likely notice the “see-through” perspective that pulls your eye to the outdoors. Many of the views are framed by wall-sized windows.
As you step inside, you are surrounded by interesting visuals . . . an archway, heavy post and beam construction, clear finish wood plank ceiling and a massive original design fireplace serving as a focal point and divider to the dining room – and this is no ordinary dining room as it may be long enough to accommodate a table for the largest of extended families for those holiday dinners.
The living room open design allows ample space for for couches, large t.v. and bookshelves, or if you are a big game hunter––plenty of room for your largest trophy!
As you pass from the living room areas into the kitchen, you will notice another archway with the continuing high ceiling design as a perfect compliment to the two-tone finish cabinets and the slab granite used for the counters. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances including a gas burner stove and double ovens.
Want to make guests feel at ease when they come for dinner? There is large open area built to the side, perfect for a smaller table. Serve them a glass of wine and have them sit at the kitchen while you chop ingredients and prepare a fun meal.
Look to the right and experience a peaceful setting deck and complementary landscape.

The prettiest yard in town . . . .
Travel hasn’t been an option lately, so the current owners decided to spend mega bucks on the landscaping—and created a most prominent natural-looking tropical setting at home.
Look at the cement work, the effect, the design. This is the most perfect job you have ever seen of recreating a vacation paradise. If you crave a counterbalance to the frenetic pace of work . . . let this be your sanctuary.
Whether you are in the front, side or back yard, you hear it rushing…water as it curls gently down the side of the fountain and into the collection pond. These fountains are only part of a bigger setting that includes an outdoor terrace, that includes a rock lined pool and multiple sitting areas. Hold a party here, and guests naturally migrate to the outdoors.
Imagine being able to sit on the terrace while you sip a glass of wine and take in the colorful sunset –or after a grueling day at the office, you may want to jump in the spa to unwind and decompress . . . . and afterwards, a few laps in the pool, then jump out and warm up around the fire-pit –– or perfect when you want to sit outside with friends on a chilly evening.
And, if you have the inclination, you could pop a bottle of Rose bubbly with that someone special and hang out in the Cabana, or just read a good book. Later on in the evening, grab a bag of popcorn and join the family or friends in the Pavilion to watch your favorite movie. (which movie may be the toughest decision all night)
You can start weekend mornings on the terrace with a cup of coffee.
So idyllic-looking is this spot that if you buy this home, friends will ask if they can get married here. It’s an absolute “10” on the natural-beauty scale. At the very least, you have the perfect place for your next family reunion!
At night, the lighting completely changes the mood of the home. With both the house, and its landscaping illuminated, the residence resembles an intimate retreat . . . . .
