The lakeside home was built in 1960 and boasts 5 bedrooms and an impressive 7,500 square feet of living space. It was originally Tuscan-inspired but would be torn down to the studs and completely overhauled into the ranch-style abode you see today!

The new home was designed by Paul Lamb Architects in collab with Crowell Builders.

The family room in particular is one of the most eye-catching spaces in the home. Here, you’ll find gorgeous arched oak beams above and a dual-sided fireplace at the center that’s shared between the family room and dining area.

Nearby, you’ll also spot the home’s gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances and an island with bar seating.

The massive master suite boasts the same hand-scraped oak flooring that’s found throughout the home. The wood used on the walls in the sitting area, however, is completely made of reclaimed barn wood.

The master ensuite offers not only a glass stall shower and freestanding tub, but also an absolutely stunning view of Lake Austin!

On the back end of the home, you’ll find an entertainer’s paradise in the form of a huge 2-story screened-in porch. The beautiful 4-foot lanterns that decorate the space were actually sourced from Tony Duquette’s estate.

The porch also has a perfect view of lake Austin as well as a nature preserve just across the lake!

It’s clear from looking at this custom gourmet kitchen that a lot of love went into its design when the home was remodeled in 2014. High-end appliances, custom cabinetry, hand-painted tiles, and Calcutta marble countertops – talk about luxurious!

Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki Friendship

As fictional brothers go, there’s no bond like that of Moose and Squirrel aka Sam and Dean Winchester aka Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles! After 15 long years of playing brothers in over 300 episodes of Supernatural, however, it seems the two have become brothers IRL.

Over the years, the pair have experienced every major milestone in their lives together, from getting married to having children and more – they’ve been through it all as friends. Ackles even briefly lived with Jared while the two were filming in Vancouver and both men acted as each other’s groomsman on their big days.

Following what feels like a lifetime of starring on Supernatural together, the pair remain incredibly close and involved in each other’s lives.

Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles Fight

Even the closest siblings can have the occasional drama – and Ackles and Padalecki are no exception. In 2021, it was revealed via Twitter that Jensen was developing the Supernatural spin-off The Winchesters.

While fans were overjoyed by the news, there was one issue – Padalecki had zero knowledge the project even existed and found out on Twitter. Given that he spent over a decade of his life working on the original series, you can see how this may have rubbed the actor the wrong way initially.

In response, Jared Tweeted that while he was happy for Jensen, he was disappointed to have learned it from the social media platform and not Jensen himself. Thankfully, the pair communicated only hours after Jared’s Tweet and would reconcile. According to Jensen, he had avoided telling others about the project, even Jared, at the time because he wanted to ensure the project was actually going to happen before the reveal.

In a follow-up Tweet, Jared stated:

“@JensenAckles and I had a great talk, as we do often, and things are good. The show is early in the process with miles to go. We’ve travelled a lot of roads together, and sometimes those damn roads have bumps. Bumps don’t stop us. Once brothers, always brothers.”
