Written by Kurk Homes | Oct 7, 2020 7:58:15 PM


This gorgeous home in the sloping topography of the Texas Hill Country features 3366 square feet in the main home and 333 square feet in the casita.  Join us inside to view the stunning features and floor plan of this 3-bedroom plus casita, 3 1/2 bath home. 

This beautiful residence in New Braunfels combines Texas Hill Country and Transitional build styles to create a stunning facade. Our design team incorporated stone, stucco, and a dramatic colored standing seam metal roof to help this home achieve an eye-catching style. The "front" door as shown here is actually a door to a courtyard space, maximizing privacy and entertaining space. See all of our exterior selections below.

The Kurk Homes' design team did an amazing job of creating an open concept floor plan and maximizing functional indoor and outdoor entertaining space. The screened-in porch above boasts an incredible view of the Texas Hill Country and adjoins the casita to the main home under the same roof. 

The interior of the home maintains the Texas ranch-style with classic touches, such as a separate dining area and an air-conditioned fully enclosed with glass walls wine room. As highlighted in specialty publications and magazines like Wine Spectator, the Kurk Homes design team assisted this family with designing a wine room with glass walls and a completely separate, dedicated air-conditioning system. 

Although the formal dining room is separate, the design team and homeowner incorporated an iron work chandelier to tie-in the room with the rustic look of stone-clad walls. The mixture of materials in this transitional-style home complement each other seamlessly, especially with the dramatic wall color of the wine room. 

The stained concrete appeal of durability paired with the nearly marbled look of blended colors is pronounced in this home. Keeping the color selection light aided the airy feeling of this brightly colored home.
