What defines the perfect home?...

Definition: Exquisite: marked by flawless craftsmanship or by beautiful, ingenious, delicate, or elaborate execution

Definition: Custom: built to individual specifications made or performed according to personal order


Nestled in the trees in secluded Escalera Ranch, this exquisite one-story home is a combination of impressive style and custom features.

You enter your new home through steel Cantera doors that open onto magnificent “Acapulco” Travertine tile floors that grace the family room, dining, kitchen, butler, breakfast, and traffic areas. Hand-trowelled textured walls and Tray ceilings add old world quality and charm.

Look to your right, behind the French doors. There’s a handsome office with the warm wood finishes of built-in cabinetry and trim. Across the foyer in the formal dining room, note the custom designed niche for the breakfront. The butler’s area features granite counter, glass door cabinets and, of course, a wine cooler. It’s the perfect spot for his and her coffee makers… decaf or regular?

Your gourmet kitchen features granite counters and center-island, a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, KitchenAid double convection oven, mahogany stained Knotty Alder cabinets and a tile backsplash, with a hand-painted landscape scene above a 5 burner Wolf cook top. Attention has been paid to every detail, from the raised panel cabinets and side panels, to the oil rubbed bronze door hardware and cabinet and drawer pulls.

Sip a latte at the breakfast bar that opens to a cozy family room, centered around a stone gas fireplace, adorned with a hand-carved polished mesquite mantle. There are plenty of built-ins here too.

The spacious master bedroom with Magnolia plantation shutters and Tray ceiling, conveys the feeling of timeless beauty. Luxurious master bath is complete with high granite vanities, Alder Wood cabinets and a sensual walk-in shower with an array of shower heads, including four body sprayers. Exhilarating!

Two other spacious bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, with granite vanity. A guest wing bedroom is connected to the media room, fully wired for surround sound.

Outdoor living here is your little slice of heaven…your private two acres backs to the future Garey Park. In the summer, take a dip and then relax by your resort style pool, with waterfall and spa. Yes, there is another full bath off the pool. In fall and winter, spend relaxing evenings stargazing around your gas patio fire pit, or in front of your wood burning fireplace in the outdoor kitchen area.

Your new home has a three and a half car garage, complete with workshop area.

The definition of your Perfect Georgetown Home: 113 Covington Cove.

About Ted

I’ve been an Austinite for over 14 years. Prior to Real Estate I was a Broadcast, Marketing and Special Event Management executive. I have held Marketing, Operations and Programming positions with radio stations, in Houston, Washington, D.C. and Austin. I also have extensive marketing and advertising experience, having owned a marketing company in Houston and as Vice President and Partner of an Austin based marketing and consulting firm.

My Client-First Philosophy:

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Austin real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This ”client first” philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Austin areas, please contact me.
