Villa Serena on Lake Austin | A Waterfront Sanctuary

I.M. Pei designed only three private homes in his lifetime. Westover House is the last and the greatest. Built for both the grandeur of entertainment and the quiet pleasures of everyday life, it is one of the most significant achievements in American residential architecture.

Westover House shares its DNA with Pei’s most celebrated works, including the Pyramid at the Louvre in Paris and the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Commanding a hilltop in Fort Worth’s exclusive Westover Hills, the sprawling home is thoughtfully sited on nearly 4 gently sloping acres.

At the heart of Westover House is the garden room - a soaring, light-filled space. Its canted roof of glass and steel rises above the tree line, and Pei carried its triangular geometry throughout the house, repeating the slope in four smaller angled peaks that serve as “light grabbers” - north-facing glass panels that pull natural light deep into the living spaces from morning through dusk.

The home’s materials are of the ages. Its thick walls are concrete mixed with an aggregate of rose-quartz granite from Colorado. The unique textural fluting on the walls, inside and out, was painstakingly bushhammered by hand, line by line. Interior flooring includes Portuguese marble and Burmese teak, with outside terraces of granite.

Westover House isn’t just an architectural triumph - it is a Fort Worth legend, completed in 1969 for a horse breeder, art collector and philanthropist. Interior designers and firms who have worked on the house include Melanie Kahane, Benjamin Baldwin, Ron Bradshaw, Valliant Interiors and Windfohr Design. It has been published in House & Garden, Architectural Digest and Connoisseur magazines.

Among its rooms and features:

The garden room: A sloped ceiling of steel and glass that rises to three stories makes this among the most commanding spaces in any residence. A wood lattice sunscreen filters the light from above; below, a quietly flowing fountain channels water through the white marble floor in a slim rill. It is a room that feels perpetually open to the outdoors.

Living and dining rooms: Flanking the garden room are two formal living areas and two formal dining areas, in each case a larger room adjacent to a smaller room, flowing to each other. This unique configuration affords flexibility and spontaneity.

The art gallery: This wide, welcoming hall off the garden room serves as the connection to the home’s private side and encourages gratifying viewing of works of art.

The primary suite: The sumptuous retreat includes a large bedroom with a sitting area, study area, private bath, capacious closets and an adjacent bookcase-lined library, the latter with a fireplace and wet bar. The suite also has a second bedroom attached, with its own bath and large closet.

Westover House offers seven bedrooms in total, and seven full baths. One family/guest area offers three bedrooms with private baths, a living room and a sitting area. Two additional bedrooms and baths are in the guest quarters, which also offers its own living room, dining room, kitchen and private entry.

Other amenities include a cocktail bar, three kitchens (one commercial-sized), three fireplaces, a den and office/study in the private wing, a wellness room and an elevator. The large basement offers two climate-controlled wine cellars, two baths, a laundry and staff areas.

The property’s amenities include two gated driveways, putting green, heated pool with turfed yard, greenhouse, guard office, garage spaces for 6 cars and carport for 4 cars.

Above all, Westover House offers something that cannot be replicated: singularity. It blends grand entertaining with privacy and a surprising informality. It is an atmosphere of purity, shadow and sculptural form that happens to be a remarkably comfortable place to live.

15126 Walden Road

Exquisite craftsmanship and timeless elegance define this magnificent estate, gracefully positioned along serpentine St. Johns Drive and Hackberry Creek in the heart of Old Highland Park. As the final masterpiece of renowned Classicist Cole Smith of Smith-Ekblad & Assoc., this home was impeccably built by Crowbar Constructors, Cole Smith Jr., with inspired interiors by Sherry Hayslip. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its lush surroundings, the estate features expansive sightlines that capture the beauty of Hackberry Creek and its scenic trails. A seamless blend of grandeur and functionality, the residence offers multiple living and dining areas, gourmet and basement-level catering kitchen with access to the elevator, and an array of luxurious indoor and outdoor spaces.

The home is introduced by the formal Reception Room with fireplace. Site lines lead to the grand staircase, a sculptural walnut masterpiece, elegantly ascending three of the home’s four floors, and serving as a defining architectural element. Two powder rooms, surfaced in Venetian plaster, are circuitously situated off the stairway, offering both convenience and privacy. The Guest Suite Apartment, located in this area, also enjoys a private outdoor entrance. Limestone flooring in the foyer leads directly into the intimately scaled formal Living Room; an intricately designed coffered ceiling crowns the room, whereby an intricately designed antique French marble mantel is the central focal point of the room. Drawing Room pocket doors lead to the expansive Great Room. 

At its heart, the soaring two-story Great Room boasts brilliantly engineered acoustics and masterful craftsmanship, opening onto a picturesque, screened porch with a fireplace overlooking winding St. Johns Drive and the Hackberry Creek tributary. The Great Room anchors the estate, 24' in height and lined with beautiful Bordeaux patterned hardwood flooring. Brilliant bookcases and recessed alcoves provide interest and promote conversation. Hand carved walnut extends itself into the bookcases, raised panel walls and hidden pocket doors. Strap Elizabeth designed moldings surface ceilings and are curved to coved design; the clerestory provides transoms of natural light, above the screened porch. The porch provides 180 degrees of verdant views, overlooking the greenbelt along Hackberry Creek and the bridal paths which follow its path. The porch duals as indoor-outdoor living area as it is heated and conditioned, phantom screens protect the interior. 

A distinguished formal Dining Room provides breathtaking views of the estate’s rare one-acre lot; shared by the Kitchen, Breakfast Room, Alcove and Conservatory. The Dining Room's focal point is an Austrian chandelier, brilliantly illuminating the Jacobean designed coffered ceiling.  It seamlessly adjoins the Great Room and is also accessed via the Gallery Hall, sharing its limestone flooring. Banquet sized in proportion; the room opens to the rear terrace shared by preparation areas. Twin marble surfaced islands define the Kitchen, equipped with immense storage and twin preparation sinks. Double ovens, commercial grade Wolf gas stove, Miele steamer, and double Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer are but a few of the appointments. Kitchen, Breakfast Room, and Conservatory enjoy a casual open space whereby the Butler's Pantry is sequestered nearer the Dining Room; it houses a single Subzero refrigerator freezer, immense china and crystal storage and all the accessories required for large scale entertaining. The Conservatory complements the Breakfast Room; Delft tiles surround the quaint fireplace, and the appearance of a slightly lower ceiling contributes to its coziness. Recovered beams add authenticity to the environment in these three rooms. Centrally located, the Entertainment Bar sits just outside the Great Room, providing a seamless transition to the Dining Room. 

Enduring Craftsmanship by a Legendary Architect

For more information: www.onyxofaustin.com

Newly completed, The Onyx stands as one of the most significant residential offerings ever brought to market in Westlake Hills. Defined by rare elevation, sweeping downtown views, and a level of execution that is exceptionally difficult to achieve, this architectural estate delivers scale, presence, and privacy at a standard few homes ever reach.

Arrival unfolds through a secure, gated, and privately walled approach—substantial, architectural, and deliberately set apart.

Spanning approximately 11,000 square feet on nearly an acre, The Onyx was built by Paradisa Homes with an uncompromising focus on proportion, durability, and enduring quality. Walls of glass shape the living environment throughout the home, including a custom Fleetwood Edge sliding system—one of only two installations of this caliber and scale in the United States, and the largest of its kind—opening the residence to uninterrupted downtown and Hill Country views that extend far beyond the glass.

Interior volumes are striking, with ceiling heights reaching up to 18 feet, creating moments that feel expansive, architectural, and powerful without excess. Light moves through the home deliberately, shifting throughout the day and framing the city in a way that continually reinforces the home’s elevation and vantage point.

The kitchen is anchored by a 12-foot Milano marble island that reads as sculpture as much as surface. Gaggenau appliances, custom cabinetry, and refined material selections support serious cooking and effortless entertaining alike, while a fully equipped catering kitchen with Thermador appliances allows hosting to unfold seamlessly behind the scenes. For the wine collector, a glass-enclosed wine vault with capacity for approximately 600 bottles becomes part of the architecture itself.

An entire level of the home is dedicated to the owner’s suite—an intentional design choice that creates true separation and privacy. This floor includes a private lounge, a striking office, two walk-in closets, a safe room, and commanding downtown views that feel immersive rather than distant. The bathroom is extraordinary: a sculptural stone soaking tub, oversized rain shower, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing the city beyond. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most remarkable primary baths ever executed in this market.

Designed to adapt effortlessly to the moment, the home offers a private theater suitable for intimate performances and events, a fitness studio with steam shower, a refined library, and an entertainment level with full bar that opens directly to the pool. Ascending by elevator to the fourth floor reveals the Sky Parlor—a rooftop indoor-outdoor entertaining level where the skyline feels close enough to touch and the city becomes part of the setting.

The exterior is equally considered in both scale and intention. A resort-style pool and spa are complemented by a cabana with swim-up bar, outdoor kitchen, pool bath, and expansive lawns with space suitable for a pickleball court.

A detached guest house provides true privacy and independence, complete with its own kitchen, living space, and en-suite bedroom—ideal for long-term guests or extended stays.

For collectors, the garage accommodates 6 to 12 vehicles with lift capability, blending presentation and function without compromise.


Located within Eanes ISD—one of the most highly regarded school districts in Texas—and just minutes from downtown Austin, private aviation, and the city’s most desirable dining and cultural destinations, The Onyx occupies a position that is both commanding and exceptionally rare.

THE ONYX

This is Lake Austin living—elevated.

Beyond the private gates, an architectural triumph awaits. The circular driveway winds toward a residence that commands attention before you even step inside. Then you open the door—and the world expands. Downtown Austin rises bold on the horizon while Lake Austin stretches endless and tranquil below. This is the view that will redefine your mornings.

A living room centered around an indoor fireplace flows into an eat-in kitchen, and the crown jewel lies beyond the deck—panoramic, sweeping, uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Lake Austin, and Lady Bird Lake that shift from golden daybreak to electric twilight. The covered dining space shelters alfresco meals while an outdoor fireplace draws you close on cool evenings. Below, a generous lawn waits for your vision—a sparkling pool, lush gardens, or pure open space. This isn't just outdoor living. This is where life happens.

Step inside and feel the weight of true luxury. High-end plaster walls create seamless, modern elegance flowing through every room, while natural travertine stone floors ground the interior with timeless warmth. Hand-crafted brick accents add character and soul beneath a clay barrel tile roof that crowns it all with Old World charm. The primary suite anchors the first floor with floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light and lake views, a spa-worthy marble bathroom with dual vanities, and a walk-in closet that holds everything you treasure. Add a private gym, formal dining room, versatile bedroom/office, and 3-car garage—the first floor alone is a masterclass in sophisticated living.

Upstairs, the experience deepens with another living space and private terrace, part of 8 total exterior patios, balconies, and terraces throughout this architectural jewel. Here the skyline bends to meet the water and the breeze carries the energy of the lake. Watch boating and recreational watercraft drift past the city's finest waterfront dining. Witness sunrises that silence you and sunsets that leave you breathless. Three expansive bedrooms include one with a covered patio—your personal sanctuary for morning meditation, afternoon escape, or evening wine as day surrenders to night.

Then comes the finale. Descend to the water's edge where this property reveals its true soul with two private boat docks and generous lake frontage on the widest part of Lake Austin in a rare no-wake zone. Majestic cypress trees frame fully shaded grounds with endless possibilities on sprawling waterfront that few will ever own. And this extraordinary estate resides in the coveted Eanes ISD, where educational excellence meets unparalleled location.

Most homes offer a place to live. This one offers a way of life—uncompromising, exhilarating, unforgettable.

Lake Austin living, perfected.

Guest accommodations reflect the same uncompromising standard, including a private guest living residence complete with wet bar, pantry, and lounge for extended stays or multigenerational living.

Throughout The Estelle, materials were chosen with intention and restraint. Unlacquered brass and polished nickel fittings, custom cabinetry, steel framed glass doors, coffered ceilings, and tailored wall treatments create a layered interior that feels both timeless and deeply considered. No two baths are alike, and each space reflects a commitment to individuality and craft rarely achieved in a single residence.

Arrival is nothing short of cinematic. A lantern lined motor court and gated axial drive create a formal procession toward the residence, setting the tone for the private grounds beyond. The outdoor living experience centers around a resort style pool and spa, covered loggia with fireplace, and expansive terraces framed by mature trees and formal landscaping that provide exceptional privacy in the heart of the city.

Perfectly positioned on prestigious Greenlee Drive, The Estelle offers the rare balance of estate level seclusion and immediate proximity, just minutes from downtown Austin, Lady Bird Lake, top private schools, and the city’s most celebrated dining and cultural institutions.

The Estelle is not simply a residence, but a generational offering. A luminous European inspired estate where architecture, craftsmanship, and finish integrity converge at a level rarely available in Tarrytown

Paradise on Park Drive

A dream team of architect, designer and builder. A home that blurs every boundary.

Tucked into the exclusive gated and 24-hour guarded enclave of prestigious Place des Vosges, one of just 16 elegant homes in the Turtle Creek area on the edge of Highland Park, this extraordinary Andres Construction custom-built one owner residence offers a rare convergence of architectural integrity, museum-quality construction, and world-class artistry. 

Commissioned by prominent art collectors, and completed in 2000, this one-of-a-kind home boasts unmatched integrity in both its design and construction. Acclaimed Dallas architect James Langford penned a four-story home as an homage to French châteaux, with its radius-cut Lueders limestone, intricate ironwork, and a regal commanding presence that evokes the grandeur of Parisian architecture.

Contrasting with the traditional exterior, the interior of the home, by renowned interior designer Paul Draper, is strikingly contemporary, an avant-garde sanctuary for collectors and connoisseurs. Its heady mix of timeless materials includes plaster, rosewood, oak, limestone, sandstone, lime-washed ash wood, marble, onyx, gold leaf and brass, with an effect that is, at once, both restrained and luxe. An exemplar is the monumental antique fireplace surround in the two-story living room: It is a rare, 18th-century chimneypiece sourced in London, attributed to Henry Cheere, carver to Westminster Abbey, and made of Convent Siena marble, statuary white marble and Sicilian jasper.

Handcraft and quality are evident at every turn. One of only a handful of private residences built by Andres Construction, known for iconic luxury towers, hotels, churches, schools and commercial buildings, this home far surpasses typical residential standards, boasting steel-and-concrete pad construction and commercial precision in engineering. The skylight that floods an upstairs gallery with glorious natural light is of commercial grade, more akin to a museum or contemporary office building. The stunning elliptical stair railing that winds between two floors was fabricated by the same metalworks that has crafted railings for luxury boutiques and Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth.  The distinctive bronze and glass front door and bronze and gold spire atop the turret were designed and hand-crafted by esteemed James Cinquemani, known for countless local artistic commercial and residential projects. 

This composition of light, space and artistry is firstly a thoroughly satisfying home, complete with three sumptuous bedrooms, a striking media room, a chef’s kitchen, a hand-plastered round formal dining room, a cozy breakfast room and perhaps the world’s most spectacular library. Housed atop the home’s distinctive turret, it is also beneath one of the world’s precious few residential installations of a Skyspace by renowned global artist, James Turrell. At the touch of a button, the top of the turret’s conical roof rises gently and swings open slowly on a motorized system designed for the home by NASA engineer, David Thurston, transforming the library into a dynamic, living artwork. The mesmerizing installation isolates the sky into a context-free experience of engaging with its luminous transitions, watching its colors shift and evolve, creating a tranquil and contemplative environment. When the roof is closed, color-changing light focused upward into the cone creates a similar effect.

This home is a work of art — for the enjoyment of art. With its ideal mix of both light-filled living areas and intimate private spaces, it offers an unparalleled everyday experience, where architectural significance and bespoke design converge in a singular sanctuary in one of Dallas’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
