Public Remarks

Modern design, elevated finishes, and a backyard view you truly can’t replicate. Completed in June 2024, this custom-built home at 288 Smithsonian delivers style and functionality with more than $65,000 in thoughtful upgrades and a warm, designer-selected color palette that feels both sophisticated and inviting. The layout was built for everyday living and entertaining alike, featuring a dramatic two-story living room with soaring ceilings and oversized windows that bring in incredible natural light. With four generously sized bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a spacious upstairs flex/media room, there is room for everything from movie nights to work-from-home setups. The main-level primary suite feels tucked away and private, overlooking the tree-filled ranch land behind the home. The ensuite bath includes a large walk-in tiled shower, deep jetted soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room. Out back, the views are the real showstopper. The property backs to a private ranch with wide-open Hill Country scenery, mature trees, and a sense of calm. Even better, the neighboring land has recently entered into a 99-year conservation easement agreement, helping preserve the natural landscape and protecting the area from future development for decades to come. No rear neighbors and no crowded backyard views here. Located in the highly desirable Anthem community, residents enjoy access to resort-style amenities including a pool, sports courts, playgrounds, community gardens, and scenic walking trails. Conveniently situated between Austin and San Antonio, just minutes from downtown Kyle and a short drive to Wimberley, this home offers the perfect mix of peaceful Hill Country living and everyday convenience.
