Welcome to “Hearthside” known for its magnificent Fossilized Austin Limestone fireplaces. Lady Bird Johnson, wife of President Johnson, was a frequent visitor once declaring it her favorite retreat in E Texas. Designed by European architects and completed in 1948, this mid-century modern lodge-style home is perfect for entertaining, with a 4-tiered lawn, plus a spacious breezeway boasting an outdoor kitchen area. An oversized 40’ covered porch overlooks the 1.5 acre pond (once an in-ground pool with cast concrete bottom) and is framed by a 10’ walkway ideal for leisurely strolls. The pond is now filled by a small stream which serves as its water source. Traversing the pond’s west end stands an 80’ walking bridge marking the beginning of what was recently described as a perfectly functioning wetland by internationally recognized fisheries biologist and Editor of Pond Boss Magazine, Bob Lusk. Facing the front and side yards lies a covered patio with firepit that overlooks a grove of loblolly pines and well-house fed by a low volume fresh-water spring. Just off the breezeway, you’ll find 2 cabanas (dressing rooms each with full baths). Inside the home, there are amenities galore in addition to tons of storage space: The kitchen proudly offers marble counters, KitchenAid ss appliances, Wolf Range, original oversized cabinetry, spacious pantry, and opulent island. The home’s massive 40&#39' living room is perfect for entertaining, with a wall of windows, measuring 6&#39' tall by 33&#39' long overlooking the pond, formal dining area, another small seating area, and of course, Hearthside&#39's signature 12&#39' long fireplace. The primary suite boasts a 10’ fireplace and is flanked by oversized windows which provide breathtaking views of the wrap-around pond at both sunrise and sunset. The primary bath features a dual vanity and tub-shower combo. A 3-season room tops off the primary suite with vaulted ceilings, walls of newer windows and wood-burning stove to provide a true lodge experience.
