Welcome to this award-winning estate, voted Best of Show in the 2008 Parade of Homes and crafted by Parker County's celebrated builder John Askew. Located in Aledo ISD, this home is tucked inside a very private gated community of just 41 estate-sized homes, complete with freshly resurfaced streets and a private, stocked neighborhood lake reserved for homeowners, this residence offers a rare blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Set on a 1.43-acre heavily treed corner lot bordered by a flowing creek, the home makes an unforgettable first impression. A wall of massive windows greets you upon entry, framing a dramatic view of the lagoon-like pool and park-like shade trees beyond. Inside, custom hand-scraped oak floors run throughout much of the first story, while towering high-beamed ceilings crown the entry, office, master suite, and living areas. High-end wall textures and finishes, custom draperies, and room-darkening shades in the bedrooms reflect the home's attention to detail at every turn. Two fireplaces add warmth and character, and a Juliet balcony lends a touch of elegance. The huge master suite is a true retreat, featuring a jetted, spa-like soaking tub. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the NASCAR-styled garage floor finish, and the entire backyard is enclosed by handsome black iron fencing and gates. Recent updates bring peace of mind, including all three HVAC units, both hot water heaters, the kitchen stovetop, dishwasher, well pump, and an architectural-grade roof, all recently replaced. Privacy, craftsmanship, and timeless design come together in this exceptional Parker County estate. Schedule your private showing today.
