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' living room is perfect for entertaining, with a wall of windows, measuring 6' tall by 33' long overlooking the pond, formal dining area, another small seating area, and of course, Hearthside's signature 12' 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.
