414 Sunfish Dr is one of the most unique homes in Lakeway, Tx. This home was constructed by a Builder/Architect who studied fine details of Frank Lloyd Wright. One of Wright's greatest accomplishments was the home constructed in Bear Run coined " Falling Water ".  This home on Sunfish represents many design features of " Falling Water ". There is a large natural spring that feeds a stream that meanders under cantilevered sections of this home. The entire home is nestled on a  7 acre private preserve of Texas native Live Oaks, Elm, and other local trees. The Architect was precise when it came to gaining solar efficiencies. Large tree canopies shade most of the Southern and Western wall surfaces. Eagle Low E 4 windows provide some of the best R and U values on the market. Many of the high efficiency wood patio sliding doors are set back into the home 2' minimizing direct sun and weather exposure. Natural light filters throughout every angle and wall surface in the home. There are Solar tubes that bring soft natural light to the interior of the home; while many high efficiency wood windows bring in filtered light to the perimeter of the home. The center of the home contains a large deck which surrounds 3 large trees that cascade high above this clearstory space. This center courtyard brings the nature right into the home, where most of the visitors can view this inviting space.
